MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE

Lamp

HIGH VOLTAGE

HIGH TEMPERATURE

HIGH PRESSURE

Contact your dealer before replacing the lamp.
For the optional lamp, see the item “ACCESSORIES” of P.24.
Before replacing the lamp, switch power OFF, remove the power cord from the power outlet, and
wait approximately 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled. The lamp may explode if handled at high
temperatures.

Lamp Life

Projector lamps have a finite life. The image will become darker, and hues will become weaker,
after a lamp has been used for a long period of time.
Replace the lamp if the LAMP indicator is red, or the CHANGE THE LAMP message appears
when the projector is switched ON. See Table 9 of P.20 and Table 10 of P.21.

• The LAMP indicator is also red when the lamp unit reaches high temperature. Before

replacing the lamp, switch power OFF, wait approximately 20 minutes, and switch power ON again.
If the LAMP indicator is still red, replace the lamp.

NOTE

WARNING • For disposal of used lamp, treat
according to the instruction of community

authorities.

• Since the lamp is made of glass, do not apply shock
to it and do not scratch it.

• Also, do not use old lamp. This could also cause
explosion of the lamp.

• Premature lamp failure MAY be caused by an
electronic component in the projector and not
necessarily the lamp. If unsure contact your local
service center.

• If it is probable that the lamp has exploded (explosive
sound is heard), disconnect the power plug from the
power outlet and ask your dealer to replace lamp. The
lamp is covered by front glass, but in rare cases, the
reflector and the inside of the projector may be
damaged by scattered broken pieces of glass, and
broken pieces could cause injury when being handled.

• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed.

the unit.

7. Replace the lamp cover in position and tighten the two
screws firmly.

8. Gently turn the projector right-side up.

Resetting the Lamp Timer

Reset the lamp timer after replacing the lamp. When the lamp has been replaced after the LAMP
indicator is red, or the CHANGE THE LAMP message is displayed, complete the following
operation within ten minutes of switching power ON. The power will be turned off automatically in
over 10 minutes.

1. Switch power ON, and press the RESET button, for approximately three seconds. The ‘LAMP
xxxx hr’ message will appear on the lamp timer on the bottom of the screen.

2. Press the MENU button on the remote control transmitter, or the RESET button on the control
panel, while the lamp timer is displayed. The ‘LAMP xxxx

→ 0 ■ CANCEL’ message will

then appear.

3. Press the and select 0, and wait until the timer display is cleared.

• Do not reset the lamp timer without replacing the lamp. Reset the lamp timer always

when replacing the lamp. The message functions will not operate properly if the lamp timer is not
reset correctly.

CAUTION • Ensure that screws are tightened
properly. Screws not tightened fully may result

in injury or accidents.

• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover
removed.
