When the operating environment temperature is high or in environments where lots of dust, cigarette smoke, etc.
is present, the replacement cycle of the LCD panel, polarizing plate and other optical parts may be shorter even if
used for less than one year. Consult your dealer for details.
r Luminous lamp
The light source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
f The luminance of the luminous lamp will decrease by duration of usage.f The luminous lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or
degradation due to cumulative runtime.
f The luminous lamp life varies greatly depending on individual differences and usage conditions. In particular,
continuous use for 12 hours or more and frequent off/on switching of the power greatly deteriorate the luminous
lamp and affect the luminous lamp life.
f In rare cases, the luminous lamp burst shortly after the projection.f The risk of bursting increases when the luminous lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to
replace the lamp unit according to the proper replacement time (“When to replace the lamp unit”
(Æ page 114) and “How to replace the lamp unit” (Æ page 115))
f If the luminous lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the luminous lamp is released in a form of smoke.f It is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.
r Computer and external device connections
When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords
and shielded cables as well.
