If the screen size is SD, then the following formula is first
used to obtain the screen width (SW).
SW (m) = SD x 0.0254 5 x 4
The value for SW obtained above can then be used with the
following functions to calculate the projection distance.
LW (m) = 1.98 x SW
LT (m) = 2.57 x SW
For 16:9 aspect ratios, the following formula can be used to
calculate the screen width (SW) and the projection distance
for the wide lens position.
SW (m) = SD x 0.0254 18.36 x 16

will be displayed on-screen when
operation time reaches 1 900 hours.
If the lamp does not illuminate and the status
code “L-n” is displayed, try switching on the
lamp two or three times. If the lamp still does
not illuminate, the lamp may be broken. Do
not attempt to replace the lamp, as there is a
risk of injury on broken lamp fragments. Call
the JVC service center for repairs.
Lamp replacement is
recommended.
Take the LCD Projector to your dealer for repair.

the STATUS Code indication becomes “L-0”.
• The on-screen display urging you to
replace the lamp unit will be displayed for
five minutes after the power has been
turned on, the power will then automatically
go off and it will enter the standby mode.
Note
• To maintain the initial brightness and picture quality,
replace the lamp as soon as possible when the lamp
replacement display appears.
• The replacement display appears after approximately 1900
hours, as a indication that it is time for the lamp to be
replaced.
• The replacement display is, after all, only a guideline to
the time for lamp replacement and is not an assurance of
the lamp’s service life.
• The lamp could go out before the replacement display
appears, for such reasons as individual lamp
characteristics, or the usage conditions and usage
environment. We thus recommend that you keep a
replacement lamp on hand.
• Fluorescent lamps should be replaced by your retailer or
the JVC service center. A lamp replacement fee may be
charged in addition to the cost of the replacement lamp.
