Replacing the Lamp
Replace the lamp with a new one if a message displayed on the projected image (page 90).
Use an LMP-E220 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 three screws on the lamp
(1) then pull out the lamp by its grab
(2).

4 Insert the new lamp all the way in until
it is securely in place (1). Tighten the
three screws (2).
Note
The power will not turn on if the lamp is
not secured properly.
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 27).

Cleaning the Air Filter
When a message appears on the projected image indicating time for a filter cleaning, clean the
air filter (pages 73, 59).
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 continue to use the projector even after the message is displayed, 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 Open the side cover.
Press A and open the side cover in the
direction of the arrow shown on the
illustration below.

Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range
The projection distance is the distance between the center of the projection window and the
surface of the projected image. The following describes the projection distance and height from
the center of the projection window to edge of screen by each projected screen size. Height H
is the height from the bottom of the projected image (top for wall mount) to A (determined by
drawing a perpendicular line from the center of the projection window to projected image
surface).
