Replacement of the Lamp Unit
Guidelines for the replacement of the projection lamp used in this projector are described below. (The time may be shorter
depending on usage conditions.)
When the usage time exceeds the time described below, the likelihood of rupture increases, the projector will be forced to
turn off the projection lamp.
Maintenance
• Do not replace the lamp unit immediately after using the projector.
The lamp is high temperature and you could get burned. Disconnect the power plug from the outlet and
wait one hour or longer before replacing the lamp.
• Do not touch the glass portion of the lamp unit with your hands. Doing so could lower the brightness
and shorten the life of the lamp.
• There is a large number of glass parts such as the lamp and mirrors that are used inside the projector.
If a glass part breaks, please exercise due caution in handling so that you are not injured by fragments.
Please request repair from the store of purchase or an AVIO customer support center.
WARNING
• Please specify the dedicated lamp unit of the MP/iP Series (Model: MPLK-C1). CAUTION
Guideline for lamp replacement
ⅷ Usage time when used only in the high brightness mode* .......... 1900 hours
ⅷ Usage time when used only in the economy mode ..................... 2900 hours
Note that the "Lamp usage time" displayed on the menu screen is the value of the usage time of both the brightness mode
and the economy mode which has been converted to high brightness mode usage time.
It is for this reason that when the projector is always used in economy mode, 2900 hours is the lamp replacement
guideline for the actual usage time; however, on the menu screen the lamp usage time is 1900 hours which is the guide-
line for the lamp replacement time.
(*) See Page E-38.
ⅷ When messages such as the following appear when the lamp lights.
(This will be displayed when the lamp usage time exceeds 1900 hours.)
ⅷ When "Lamp usage time" on the menu display screen becomes 1900 hours.
The LAMP/COVER LED flashes red.
The lamp usage time is displayed in the "Settings" menu and can be checked. (See Page E-38.)
ⅷ When the LAMP/COVER LED lights in red without the lamp lighting.
(When the lamp usage time has exceeded 2000 hours.)
When the lamp usage time has exceeded 1900 hours, please replace the lamp unit (available separately). Also, when the image
becomes dark or the hue worsens, we recommend to replace the lamp; please replace with a new lamp unit.
