Troubleshooting

Replacing the Lamp

Replace the lamp with a new one if a message displayed on the projected image (page 50). Use an LMP-E212 projector lamp (not supplied) for replacement.

Caution

• The lamp remains hot after the projector is

turned off. If you touch the lamp, you may

burn your finger. When you replace the lamp, wait for at least an hour after turning off the projector for the lamp to cool sufficiently.

• Do not allow any metallic or inflammable objects into the lamp replacement slot after removing the lamp, otherwise it may cause electrical shock or fire. Do not put your hands into the slot.

Notes

• If the lamp breaks, contact qualified Sony personnel. Do not replace the lamp yourself.

• When removing the lamp, be sure to pull it out straight, by holding the designated location. If you touch a part of the lamp other than the designated location, you may be burned or injured. If you pull out the lamp while the projector is tilted, the pieces may scatter if the lamp breaks any may cause injury.

1 Turn off the projector, and disconnect

the AC power cord from a wall outlet.

2 When the lamp has cooled

sufficiently, open the lamp cover by loosening 1 screw.

3 Loosen the 2 screws on the lamp (1)

then pull out the lamp by its grab (2).

Replacing the Lamp

4 Insert the new lamp all the way in until

it is securely in place (1). Tighten the 2 screws (2).

5 Close the lamp cover and tighten the

1 screw.

6 Connect the AC power cord to a wall

outlet and turn on the projector.

7 Reset the lamp timer for notification of

the next replacement time. Select “Lamp Timer Reset” on the

Function menu then press the ENTER key. When a message appears, select “Yes” to reset the lamp timer (page 24).

Caution

Disposal of the used lamp

For the customers in the USA

Lamp in this product contains mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Telecommunications Industry Association (www.eiae.org).

The power will not turn on if the lamp is not secured properly.

Note

Cleaning the Air Filter

When a message appears on the projected image indicating time for a filter cleaning, clean the air filter (pages 49, 50). If the dust cannot be removed from the air filter even after cleaning, replace the air filter with a new one. For details on a new air filter, consult with qualified Sony personnel.

Caution

If you neglect to clean the air filter, dust may accumulate, clogging it. As a result, the temperature may rise inside the unit, leading to a possible malfunction or fire.

1 Turn off the projector, and disconnect

the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

2 Slide out and remove the air filter

cover from the unit.

Projection Distance

The projection distance is the distance between the front of the lens and the surface of the projected image. The following describes the projection distance and height from the center of the lens to edge of screen by each projected screen size. Height H is the height from the bottom of the projected image (top for ceiling mount) to A (determined by drawing a perpendicular line from the center of the lens to projected image surface).
