Replacing the lamp
The Projection lamp, like all lamps, will eventually
lose brightness and functionality which affects the
overall performance of your TV. How long the Lamp
maintains its brightness will vary depending upon
your usage and environmental conditions. To
maintain the quality of your viewing experience, Sony
recommends that you replace the Lamp (1) when the
screen becomes dark or the color looks unusual; (2)
when
on the front of the TV flashes; (3) after
approximately 8,000 hours of use (for KS-60R200A/
50R200A) or 4,000 hours of use (for KS-70R200A);
or (4) when the lamp replacement message appears on
the TV screen.
WARNING
Electric appliances can cause fire or high temperature,
resulting in injury or death. Be sure to follow the
instructions below.
• Use a Sony XL-5100 replacement lamp (for KS-
60R200A/50R200A, not supplied) or XL-5300
replacemant lamp (for KS-70R200A, supplied) for
replacement. Use of any other lamp may damage the TV.
• Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than
replacement. Doing so may cause injury or fire.
• Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside
the lamp receptacle of the TV after removing the lamp.
Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock. Do not touch
the lamp receptacle once the lamp has been removed.
• When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a
noticeable “pop” sound. This is normal and it is inherent
to this type of lamp.
• In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit,
but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of the broken
glass pieces inside the lamp unit.
• This TV’s lamp contains mercury and should be disposed
of properly. Consult your local authorities regarding safe
disposal. The material contained in this lamp are similar to
those of a fluorescent lamp, so you should dispose of it in
the same way.
1
Switch off the TV. Wait several minutes,
then unplug the power cord.
(The cooling fan will continue to operate for
about two minutes after switching the TV
off.)
2
Wait at least 30 minutes after unplugging
the power cord to allow the lamp to cool
down before replacing it. To avoid being
burned, do not touch the lamp receptacle
once the lamp has been removed.

Do not touch the glass portion of the new
lamp.
