Lamp Replacement Period

•

The message "Replace the lamp." appears on the screen when projection starts.

•

The projected images get darker or start to deteriorate.

•

The replacement warning message is set to appear after a minimum of about 1600 
hours of lamp use in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the 
projected images. The time taken for the message to appear will vary depending on 
usage conditions such as Color Mode settings.
If you continue to use the lamp after this period, the possibility of the lamp breaking 
becomes greater. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp 
with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.

•

The actual life of each individual lamp will vary depending on the characteristics of the 
lamp and on the way it has been used. The lamp may start to become dark or stop 
turning on even before the lamp replacement message appears. You should always 
have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.

•

Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.

A message will be displayed.
