the lamp until the projector has been allowed to cool down for at least 30
minutes.
2
Let the projector cool for at least 30 minutes.
3
Loosen the two screws that secure the lamp cover, and remove the cover.
CAUTION: Do not touch the projector lamp or the lamp glass at any time.
Projector lamps are very fragile and may shatter if touched.
CAUTION: If the lamp shatters, remove all the broken pieces from the
projector and dispose or recycle according to state, local, or federal law. For
more information see - www.dell.com/hg.
4
Loosen the two screws that secure the lamp.
5
Pull the lamp up by its metal handle.
6
Replace with the new lamp.
7
Tighten the two screws that secure the lamp.
8
Replace the lamp cover and tighten the two screws.

NOTE: The actual operating life span of a projector lamp will vary according to
operating conditions and usage patterns. Usage of a projector in stressful
conditions which may include dusty environments, under high temperatures
and abrupt powering-off may result in a lamp's shortened operating life span or
possibly lamp failure. The lamp life specified for Dell's projectors refers to the
typical time under non-stressful operating conditions for more than 50% of a
sampling population to reduce to approximately 50% of the lamp's rated
brightness level. It is not the measure of time a lamp will cease light output.

Appendix: Glossary
ANSI LUMENS —A standard for measuring the brightness. It is calculated by
dividing a square meter image into nine equal rectangles, measuring the lux (or
brightness) reading at the center of each rectangle, and averaging these nine
points.
SPECT RATIO —The most popular aspect ratio is 4:3 (4 by 3). Early television and
A
computer video formats are in a 4:3 aspect ratio, which means that the width of
the image is 4/3 times the height.
Brightness— The amount of light emitting from a display or projection display or
projection device. The brightness of the projector is measured by ANSI lumens.
Color Temperature— The color appearance of white light. Low color
temperature implies warmer (more yellow/red) light while high color temperature
implies a colder (more blue) light. The standard unit for color temperature is
Kelvin (K).
Component Video—A method of delivering quality video in a format that
consists of the luminance signal and two separate chrominance signals and are
defined as Y'Pb'Pr' for analog component and Y'Cb'Cr' for digital component.
Component video is available on DVD players.
Composite Video — A video signal that combines the luma (brightness), chroma
(color), burst (color reference), and sync (horizontal and vertical synchronizing
signals) into a signal waveform carried on a single wire pair. There are three kind of
formats, namely, NTSC, PAL and SECAM.
Compressed Resolution— If the input images are of higher resolution than the
native resolution of the projector, the resulting image will be scaled to fit the
native resolution of the projector. The nature of compression in a digital device
means that some image content is lost.
Contrast Ratio— Range of light and dark values in a picture, or the ratio between
their maximum and minimum values. There are two methods used by the
projection industry to measure the ratio:
1
Full On/Off
on) and the light output of an all black (full off) image.
2
ANSI
average light output from the white rectangles is divided by the average light
output of the black rectangles to determine the
Full On/Off contrast is always a larger number than ANSI contrast for the same
projector.
— measures the ratio of the light output of an all white image (full
— measures a pattern of 16 alternating black and white rectangles. The
ANSI
contrast ratio.
Glossary57
Page 58
dB— decibel—A unit used to express relative difference in power or intensity,
usually between two acoustic or electric signals, equal to ten times the common
logarithm of the ratio of the two levels.
Diagonal Screen— A method of measuring the size of a screen or a projected
image. It measures from one corner to the opposite corner. A 9FT high, 12FT
wide, screen has a diagonal of 15FT. This document assumes that the diagonal
dimensions are for the traditional 4:3 ratio of a computer image as per the example
above.
DisplayPort— A digital display interface standard developed by the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA). DisplayPort is designed for broad
application in PCs, monitors, TV displays, projectors, and other sources of display
content.
®
— Digital Light Processing™—Reflective display technology developed by
DLP
Texas Instruments, using small manipulated mirrors. Light passing through a color
filter is sent to the DLP mirrors which arrange the RGB colors into a picture
projected onto the screen, also known as DMD.
DMD— digital Micro- Mirror Device— Each DMD consists of thousands of
tilting, microscopic aluminum alloy mirrors mounted on a hidden yoke.
DVI-D— Digital Visual Interface-Digital connector.
Focal Length— The distance from the surface of a lens to its focal point.
Frequency— It is the rate of repetition in cycles per seconds of electrical signals.
Measured in Hz (Hertz).
HDMI— High Definition Multimedia Interface— A digital interface for audio and
video signals designed as a single-cable solution for home theater and consumer
electronics equipment.
Hz (Hertz)— Unit of frequency.
Keystone Correction— Device that will correct an image of the distortion
(usually a wide-top narrow-bottom effect) of a projected image caused by an
improper projector to screen angle.
Maximum Distance— The maximum distance from a screen the projector can be
to cast an image that is usable (bright enough) in a fully darkened room.
Maximum Image Size— The largest image a projector can throw in a darkened
room. This is usually limited by the focal range of the optics.
Minimum Distance— The closest position at which a projector can focus an
image onto a screen.
NTSC— National Television Standards Committee. North American standard for
video and broadcasting, with a video format of 525 lines at 30 frames per second.
Glossary58
Page 59
PAL— Phase Alternating Line. A European broadcast standard for video and
broadcasting, with a video format of 625 lines at 25 frames per second.
Reverse Image— Feature that allows you to flip the image horizontally. When
used in a normal forward projection environment, text, graphics, etc, are
backwards. Reverse image is used for rear projection.
RGB— Red, Green, Blue— typically used to describe a monitor that requires
separate signals for each of the three colors.
S-Video—A video transmission standard that uses a 4-pin mini-DIN connector to
send video information along two signal wires called luminance (brightness, Y)
and chrominance (color, C). S-Video is also referred to as Y/C.
SECAM— A French and international broadcast standard for video and
broadcasting, closely related to PAL but with a different method of sending color
information.
SVGA— Super Video Graphics Array,— 800 x 600 pixels count.
SXGA— Super Extended Graphics Array,—1280 x 1024 pixels count.
UXGA— Ultra Extended Graphics Array,—1600 x 1200 pixels count.
VGA— Video Graphics Array—640 x 480 pixels count.
WUXGA— Widescreen Ultra Extended Graphics Array,—1920 x 1200 pixels
count.
XGA— Extended Graphics Array— 1024 x 768 pixels count.
Zoom Lens— Lens with a variable focal length that allows the operator to move
the view in or out thereby making the image smaller or larger.
Zoom Lens Ratio— Is the ratio between the smallest and largest image that a lens
can project from a fixed distance. For example, a 1.4:1 zoom lens ratio means that
a 10 foot image without zoom would be a 14 foot image with full zoom.
