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).
Caution
For the customers in the U.S.A. and Canada
Lamp contains mercury. Dispose according to applicable local, state/ province and federal laws. For additional information, see www.sony.com/mercury

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).
