Replacing the Lamp
The lam p service life is 1000 hours.
When the lamp approaches the end of its service life, its degradation progresses rapidly. When the lamp’s used hours exceeds
900 hours, the projector’s “lamp replace’’ indicator comes on. Also, at the start of projection (lamp energized), the message
“REPL.-LAMP” appears on the projection screen for about two minutes. Then, replace with a new lamp, or arrange for a
replacement lamp. When lamp’s service has reached 1000 hours, the projector’s “lamp replace” indicator starts blinking, and if
you press the “operate” button or press the remote control’s OPERATE button for more than one second, the lamp does not turn
on. The specified lamp replacement period is 1000 hours, but depending on use conditions, the replacement period may vary.
If video image is dark and its color tint is extraordinary even after you have adjusted color tint and brightness, replace the lamp
a little earlier.
Purchase new lamps from the dealer where you have purchased the projector, or consult the nearest service center.
C AU TIO N S and N O TE S
’ If the projector is set up in a tight place which is unsuitable for work, and if you perform replacement work there, this could hurt
you. Move the projector to a place wide enough for work, and then replace the lamp.
’ Use a genuine product for the lamp. If you use other than a genuine product, this could cause a malfunction. Also, never use
an old lamp. An old lamp could cause marked degradation in performance or explode, possibly causing the projector to
malfunction. Also, its broken pieces could come out of the projector and harm you when replacing the lamp.
' Do not replace the lamp immediately after the projector has been used. The temperature of the lamp is still high and could
cause a burn. Be sure to allow a cooling period of one hour or more before performing replacement work.
' Before starting lamp replacement work, turn off the MAIN POWER switch (see page 26), and disconnect the power cord from
the wall outlet. If you perform the replacement work with the power cord left connected, this could cause harm or electric
shock.
’ Never discard an old lamp (used lamp), as is. Otherwise, this could involve a great danger. The lamp contains an xenon gas
inside, which is applying a high pressure. If the gas is not removed, it could cause the lamp to explode.
For handling used lamps, refer to the manual supplied with the new replacement lamp you have purchased. If you have any
questions, consult an authorized dealer where you have bought the replacement lamp or nearest service center.
