Lamp Handing Precautions

DANGER

This SHP uses a high voltage glass mercury vapor
lamp. The lamp can break or fail to light if handled
wrongly during replacement or because of the
projector’s surrounding temperature.
Lamp life also varies according to the lamp with
some even breaking or failing to light as soon as
they are used the first time. If the lamp breaks,
glass fragments may be scattered inside the lamp
unit and projector, and gas inside the lamp bulb
that contains mercury vapor may be emitted from
the projector’s vent.
Before use, carefully read the projector user guide
and the lamp replacement instructions. Remember
to handle the lamp with care. In the event of
serious trouble, call for Marantz authorized dealer.

• Do not look directly into the lamp with bare
eyes while lit. The bright light can cause sore
eyes and impair vision.

• Do not directly expose skin to the light of the
lamp. Direct exposure can inflame the skin.

• Do not drop, impact, subject to excessive force
or otherwise damage the lamp.

• Replacing the lamp runs the risk of burns and
electric shock, therefore shut OFF power
supply, unplug the AC power cord from AC
power outlet and wait at least 60 minutes for
the lamp to cool down before attempting to
replace it.

• If the lamp breaks, unplug the AC power cord
from AC power outlet and call for Marantz
authorized dealer to replace it. Do not replace
the lamp yourself or clean up broken glass
inside the projector as this can result in cuts
and burns to you or damages inside the
projector.

• If the projector is hung from a ceiling or
installed in a high place, it is extremely
dangerous to replace the lamp. In this case, do
not replace or handle the damaged lamp
yourself.

CAUTION

• The chance of the lamp breaking is high after
extended use. It is recommended to replace
the lamp when near the end of its designed
life. Do not use a lamp beyond the maximum
lighting time.

• Use only Marantz original lamp units. Check
the model code of the lamp unit matches that
in the user guide.

• Before replacing the lamp, read carefully
“Lamp Unit Replacement” in the user guide.

Replace the lamp as explained therein.

• Entrust disposal of a used lamp to a licensed
industrial waste handler or return it to the place
of purchase. Do not break the lamp or discard
with general waste.

• If the lamp breaks, leave the area immediately
and stay away for at least 30 minutes, and
ventilate the room so as not to inhale the
mercury vapor.

• If you inhale the mercury vapor, see a
physician immediately and follow his
instructions.

Précautions à prendre pour la
manipulation de la lampe

DANGER

Ce SHP utilise une lampe à vapeur de mercure en
verre à haute tension. Cette lampe peut se casser
ou ne pas s'allumer si elle est manipulée
incorrectement pendant son remplacement ou du
fait de la température ambiante du projecteur.
La durée de service d'une lampe varie aussi en
fonction de la lampe, certaines se cassant ou ne
s'allumant pas aussitôt qu'elles sont utilisées pour
la première fois. Si la lampe se casse, des
fragments de verre peuvent se répandre à
l'intérieur de l'unité lampe et du projecteur, et le
gaz à l'intérieur de l'ampoule de la lampe qui
contient de la vapeur de mercure peut être émis
par l'orifice du projecteur.
Avant utilisation, lisez attentivement le guide de
l'utilisateur du projecteur et les instructions de
remplacement de la lampe. Pensez à manipuler la
lampe avec précautions. En cas de problème
sérieux, contactez un distributeur agréé Marantz.

• Ne regardez pas directement la lampe sans
protection pour les yeux pendant qu'elle est
allumée. Sa lumière brillante peut faire mal aux
yeux et affaiblir la vue.

• N'exposez pas directement la peau à la
lumière de la lampe. Une exposition directe
peut provoquer une inflammation de la peau.

• Ne laissez pas tomber la lampe, ne la heurtez
pas, ne la soumettez pas à une force excessive
ni ne l'endommager.

• Le remplacement de la lampe fait courir un risque
de brûlure et de choc électrique ; il faut donc
couper l'alimentation électrique, débrancher le
cordon d'alimentation secteur de la prise secteur
et attendre au moins 60 minutes que la lampe
refroidisse avant d'essayer de la remplacer.

• Si la lampe se casse, débranchez le cordon
d'alimentation secteur de la prise secteur et
contactez un distributeur agréé Marantz pour
qu'il la remplace. Ne remplacez pas la lampe
vous-même ni ne nettoyez le verre brisé à
l'intérieur du projecteur car vous pourriez vous
couper et vous brûler ou endommager
l'intérieur du projecteur.

•

Si le projecteur est accroché au plafond ou
installé dans un endroit en hauteur, il est
extrêmement dangereux de remplacer la lampe.
Dans ce cas, ne remplacez ni ne manipulez
vous-même la lampe endommagée.

ATTENTION

• Le risque que la lampe se casse est élevé
après une utilisation prolongé e. Il est
recommandé de remplacer la lampe
lorsqu'elle approche de sa durée de service
spécifiée. N'utilisez pas une lampe au-delà du
temps d'éclairage maximum.

• N'utilisez que des unités lampes d'origine
Marantz. Vérifiez que le code de modèle de
l'unité lampe correspond à celui indiqué dans le
guide de l'utilisateur.

• Avant de remplacer la lampe, lisez
attentivement "Remplacement de l'unité
lampe" dans le guide de l'utilisateur.
Remplacez la lampe conformément aux
explications de cette section.

• Confiez la mise au rebut d'une lampe usée à
un service de déchets industriels licencié ou
retournez-la où vous l'avez achetée. Ne
cassez pas la lampe ni ne la jetez avec les
ordures ménagères.

• Si la lampe se casse, sortez immédiatement
de la zone pendant au moins 30 minutes, et
aérez la pièce afin de ne pas inhaler la vapeur
de mercure.

• Si vous inhalez de la vapeur de mercure,
consultez immédiatement un médecin et

Precauções para o manuseio da lâmpada

CUIDADO

Esta lâmpada SHP é uma lâmpada feita de vidro
que contém vapor de mercúrio a alta pressão. A
lâmpada pode quebrar ou não acender caso seja
manuseada incorrectamente durante a
substituição ou devido à temperatura ambiente
onde se encontra o projector.
A vida útil da lâmpada também varia conforme a
lâmpada, com casos de quebra ou falha em
acender na primeira vez que a lâmpada é utilizada.
Se a lâmpada quebrar, estilhaços de vidro podem
cair dentro do compartimento da lâmpada e do
projector, e o gás de dentro da lâmpada que
contém vapor de mercúrio poderá ser emitido
através da saída do projector.
Antes de o utilizar, leia cuidadosamente o guia do
utilizador do projector bem como as instruções
para substituição da lâmpada. Lembre-se de
manusear a lâmpada com cuidado. No caso de
problemas, entre em contacto com o representante
autorizado da Marantz.

• Não olhar directamente na lâmpada acesa
sem protecção ocular. A luz forte pode causar
irritação nos olhos ou prejudicar a visão.

• N ão expor a pele directamente à luz da
lâmpada. Exposição directa pode causar
inflamação na pele.

• Não derrubar, bater, nem usar força excessiva,
pois pode danificar a lâmpada.

• Devido ao risco de queimaduras e choque
eléctrico ao substituir a lâmpada, desligue a
alimentação, desligue o cabo de alimentação da
tomada de CA e espere pelo menos 60 minutos
para arrefecer antes de substituir a lâmpada.

• Se a lâmpada quebrar, desligue o cabo de
alimentação de CA da tomada e entre em
contacto com o representante autorizado da
Marantz para que faça a substituição. Não
tente fazer a substituição nem limpar os
estilhaços de vidro de dentro do projector, pois
pode resultar em cortes e queimaduras ou
ainda danos ao projector.

• Se o projector estiver instalado no teto ou
qualquer lugar alto, é extremamente perigoso
substituir a lâmpada. Nesse caso, não tente
fazer a substituição nem manusear o lâmpada
danificada.

AVISO

• A probabilidade da lâmpada quebrar aumenta
depois de um longo período de utilização. É
recomendável substituir a lâmpada quando a
vida útil da mesma estiver próxima do fim.
Não utilizar a lâmpada além do tempo máximo
determinado.

• Utilizar apenas lâmpadas genuínas Marantz.
Confirme que o código do modelo da lâmpada
corresponde com o listado no guia do
utilizador.

• Antes de substituir a lâ mpada, leia
cuidadosamente a secção “Substituição da
lâmpada” no guia do utilizador. Substitua a
lâmpada de acordo com as instruções dadas.

• Para jogar uma lâmpada usada, solicite os
serviços de uma companhia autorizada a
colectar lixo industrial ou devolva a lâmpada na
loja onde a adquiriu. Não quebrar a lâmpada
nem jogá-la com o lixo comum.

• Se a lâ mpada quebrar, saia da sala
imediatamente, ventile o ambiente para evitar
inalar o vapor de mercúrio e não retorne por
pelo menos 30 minutos.

wobei einige Lampen möglicherweise gleich bei der
ersten Verwendung zerbrechen oder nicht leuchten.
Falls eine Lampe zerbricht, können die Scherben in
der Lampeneinheit und im Projektor verstreut werden;
außerdem kann das durch das Zerbrechen der Lampe
freigesetzte Gas, das Quecksilberdampf enthält, durch
die Entlüftungsöffnungen des Projektors ausströmen.
Lesen Sie die Bedienungsanleitung des Projektors und
die Anleitungen zum Austauschen der Lampe vor der
ersten Inbetriebnahme aufmerksam durch. Bedenken
Sie bitte, dass sorgfältige Handhabung gefragt ist.
Sollten ernste Probleme auftreten, wenden Sie sich
bitte an einen autorisierten Marantz-Fachhändler.

• Sehen Sie nicht mit den bloßen Augen direkt in
die leuchtende Lampe. Das helle Licht der
Lampe kann zu schmerzenden Augen führen
und die Sehkraft beeinträchtigen.

•

Achten Sie darauf, dass das Licht der Lampe
nicht direkt auf Ihre Haut trifft. Trifft das Licht
direkt auf Ihre Haut, kann sich diese entzünden.

• Lassen Sie die Lampe nicht fallen, stoßen Sie
sie nicht an, setzen Sie sie keine allzu großen
Kraftanwendung aus, und beschädigen Sie sie
auch sonst nicht.

•

Beim Austauschen der Lampe besteht die
Gefahr von Verbrennungen und Stromschlag.
Schalten Sie den Projektor daher aus, ziehen
Sie das Netzkabel aus der Steckdose und
warten Sie mindestens 60 Minuten, damit sich
die Lampe auskühlt, bevor Sie sie austauschen.

• Falls die Lampe zerbricht, ziehen Sie das
Netzkabel aus der Steckdose und wenden Sie
sich an einen autorisierten Marantz­Fachhändler, um die Lampe austauschen zu
lassen. Versuchen Sie nicht selbst, die Lampe
auszutauschen bzw. das zerbrochene Glas
aus dem Projektor zu entfernen, da Sie sich
dabei schneiden oder verbrennen bzw. das
Projektorinnere beschädigen könnten.

• Falls der Projektor an eine Decke gehängt
oder an einem hoch gelegenen Ort installiert
wird, ist das Austauschen der Lampe
besonders gefährlich. Versuchen Sie in diesem
Fall nie, die beschädigte Lampe selbst
auszutauschen oder zu handhaben.

VORSICHT

• Nach langem Gebrauch ist die Gefahr, dass
die Lampe zerbricht, groß. Wir empfehlen, die
Lampe gegen Ende ihrer festgelegten
Lebensdauer auszutauschen. Verwenden Sie
die Lampe nicht nach ihrer maximalen
Beleuchtungslebensdauer.

• Verwenden Sie nur die originellen Marantz­Lampeneinheiten. Überprüfen Sie, ob der
Modellcode der Lampeneinheit mit dem in der
Bedienungsanleitung angeführten Code

übereinstimmt.

• Lesen Sie vor dem Austauschen der Lampe

den Abschnitt “Austauschen der
Lampeneinheit” aufmerksam durch. Tauschen
Sie die Lampe so aus, wie es in diesem
Abschnitt beschrieben ist.

• Entsorgen Sie die Lampe gemäß den
geltenden Umweltschutzregelungen bzw.
bringen Sie in das Geschäft zurück, in dem Sie
sie erworben haben. Zerbrechen Sie die
Lampe nicht, um sie mit dem normalen
Hausmüll zu entsorgen.

• Sollte die Lampe zerbrechen, verlassen Sie
den Arbeitsbereich unverzüglich und bleiben
Sie mindestens 30 Minuten von diesem Ort
fern. Entlüften Sie den Raum gut, um den
Quecksilberdampf nicht einzuatmen.

• Sollten Sie versehentlich Quecksilberdampf
einatmen, suchen Sie unverzüglichen einen
Arzt auf und befolgen Sie seine Anweisungen.

Precauzioni d'uso della lampada

PERICOLO

Questa è una lampada SHP di vetro a vapori di
mercurio ad alta tensione. Potrebbe rompersi o
guastarsi se non viene maneggiata correttamente
durante la sostituzione o se il proiettore è soggetto
a una temperatura eccessiva.
La durata delle lampade è variabile ed alcune
potrebbero addirittura rompersi o non accendersi la
prima volta che vengono utilizzate. Se la lampada
si rompe, le schegge di vetro potrebbero venire
sparse all'interno dell'unità lampada e del
proiettore e il gas all'interno della lampada, che
contiene vapori di mercurio, potrebbe essere
espulso dalle aperture di ventilazione del
proiettore.
Prima dell'uso, leggere con attenzione la guida
d'uso del proiettore e le istruzioni di sostituzione
della lampada. Maneggiare sempre la lampada
con attenzione. Nel caso di guasti gravi, rivolgersi
al rivenditore autorizzato Marantz.

• Non guardare direttamente verso la lampada
accesa a occhio nudo. La luce intensa può
abbagliare e danneggiare la vista.

• Non esporre direttamente la pelle alla luce
della lampada. L'esposizioni diretta potrebbe

irritare la pelle.

• Non far cadere, urtare o sottoporre a forza
eccessiva, altrimenti si guasta la lampada.

• La sostituzione della lampada comporta il
rischio di bruciature e scosse elettriche, perciò
prima di sostituirla, spegnere l'alimentazione,
scollegare il cavo di alimentazione c.a. dalla
corrispondente presa e attendere almeno 60
minuti che la lampada si raffreddi.

• Se la lampada si rompe, scollegare il cavo di
alimentazione c.a. dalla corrispondente presa
e chiamare il rivenditore autorizzato Marantz
affinché la sostituisca. Non sostituirla
personalmente, né raccogliere le schegge di
vetro nel proiettore per non subire tagli o
bruciature e non danneggiare l'interno del
proiettore.

• Se il proiettore è appeso al soffitto o installato
in una posizione elevata, è molto pericoloso
sostituire la lampada. In questo caso, non
sostituire o maneggiare la lampada guasta
personalmente.

ATTENZIONE

• La probabilità che la lampada si rompa è
elevata dopo che è stata usata per molto
tempo. Si consiglia di sostituire la lampada
quando si avvicina al termine della vita utile.
Non usare la lampada oltre il limite della vita
utile.

• Usare unicamente lampade Marantz originali.
Verificare che il codice del modello dell'unità
lampada corrisponda a quello indicato nella
guida dell'utente.

• Prima di sostituire la lampada, leggere con
attenzione "Sostituzione dell'unità lampada"
nella guida per l'utente. Sostituire la lampada
come indicato in tali istruzioni.

• Incaricare dello smaltimento della lampada
usata un apposito servizio di smaltimento di
rifiuti industriali oppure restituirla al rivenditore.
Non rompere la lampada o gettarla con i rifiuti
normali.

• Se la lampada si rompe, lasciare il locale
immediatamente e non farvi ritorno per almeno
30 minuti; arieggiare il locale in modo da non
inalare i vapori di mercurio.

• Se vengono inalati i vapori di mercurio,
rivolgersi immediatamente a un medico e
seguirne le istruzioni.

Note: Pixel defects

DLP®chip is one of the most advanced
technologies for consumer products. The
DLP®chip made by high precision technology,
however some pixel defects may be found on
the projected image. We are trying our best to
control the quality in order to reduce the
number of defective pixels. It is almost
impossible to have zero pixel defects, even
using the most advanced technology. This is
not a problem only for Marantz, but all DLP
projector manufactures. Therefore we have to
note that the warranty does not cover the
DLP®chip for pixel defects. We appreciate
your understandings.

Note: Lamp

SHP lamp is one of the most advanced
technologies for consumer products. The
lamp made by high precision technology,
however some lamps might be failing before it
reaches its life. And projector’s brightness is
getting darker along with accumulated lamp
usage hours. We are trying our best to control
the quality in order to reduce lamp failures. It
is almost impossible to have zero failure, even
using the most advanced technology. This is
not a problem only for Marantz, but all
projector manufactures. Therefore we have to
note that the warranty does not cover the SHP
lamp for lamp failures: explosion, and non­lighting except initial use. And also we have to
note that the warranty does not cover the SHP
lamp for lamp failures: flickering, and getting
darker along with accumulated lamp usage
hours. We appreciate your understandings.
