About the Lamp
The projector lamp has a life span of approximately 3000 hours. Maintain proper ventilation to
keep the lamp operating throughout its lifetime. Do not subject the projector to unnecessary
vibrations to ensure that the lamp does not break.
It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced after approximately 3,000 cumulative hours
of use or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The number of hours
the lamp has been used can be checked with “Lamp Timer” in the “Options” menu on the menu screen.
For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest authorized service center or dealer.
The actual lamp service life may be less than 3000 hours depending on the environment in which the
projector is used.
Caution Concerning the Lamp
This projector uses a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp failure is
caused by excessive shock, improper cooling, surface scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to usage.
The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition and
the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.
When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated or are flashing, it is
recommended that the lamp be replaced immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating normally.
If the lamp breaks, glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the lamp may be
vented into the room from the exhaust vent. As the gas in this lamp contains mercury, ventilate the room
well if the lamp breaks and avoid exposure. In case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as
possible.
If the lamp breaks, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside the projector.
If this happens, it is recommended you contact your nearest authorized dealer to remove the damaged
lamp and assure safe operation.
Replacing the Lamp
CAUTION! Do not remove the lamp unit immediately after operation of the projector. The
lamp will be hot and touching it may cause injury. Wait at least one hour after the power cord
is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool before removing.
Temperature LED (Temperature Overheat Alarm)
The temperature LED acts as an alarm to alert you when the
projector lamp becomes too hot.
If the LED illuminates during operation, the lamp shuts off and
the cooling fan continues to run for approximately two minutes.
You should ensure that the airflow around the projector is
sufficient and that the cooling fan intake vent is not clogged to
ensure that the projector has proper ventilation.
Please pay attention that the cooling fan and intake vent are
not clogged. Please see “Projector (Front and Top View)” on
page 3 for their location.
In addition to the LED illuminating, the following warning is also projected:
