Replacement of the Lamp Unit
Guidelines for the replacement of the projection lamp used in this projector are described below. (The time may be shorter
depending on usage conditions.)
When the usage time exceeds the time described below, the likelihood of rupture increases, the projector will be forced to
turn off  the projection lamp.
Maintenance
•Do not replace the lamp unit immediately after using the projector.
The lamp is high temperature and you could get burned. Disconnect the power plug from the outlet and
wait one hour or longer before replacing the lamp.
•Do not touch the glass portion of the lamp unit with your hands. Doing so could lower the brightness
and shorten the life of the lamp.
•Many glass parts such as lamps, mirrors and other parts are used inside the projector. In the event that
glass parts are broken, be very careful in handling the projector so that you are not injured by frag-
ments and please request repair at your dealer of purchase or at one of our service centers.
WARNING
•There is no compatibility with the lamp units of other MP Series projectors. Please specify the dedi-
cated lamp unit (model: MPLK-C1).CAUTION
Guideline for lamp replacement
 Usage time when used only in the high brightness mode* .......... 1900 hours
 Usage time when used only in the economy mode ..................... 2900 hours
Note that the Lamp usage time displayed on the menu screen is the value of the usage time of both the brightness mode
and the economy mode which has been conver ted to high brightness mode usage time.
It is for this reason that when the projector is always used in economy mode, 2900 hours is the lamp replacement
guideline for the actual usage time; however, on the menu screen the lamp usage time is 1900 hours which is the guide-
line for the lamp replacement time.
(*) See Page E-38.
 When messages such as the following appear when the lamp lights.
(This will be displayed when the lamp usage time exceeds 1900 hours.)
 When Lamp usage time on the menu display screen becomes 1900 hours.
The LAMP/COVER LED flashes red.
The lamp usage time is displayed in the Settings menu and can be checked. (See Page E-39.)
 When the LAMP/COVER LED lights in red without the lamp lighting.
(When the lamp usage time has exceeded 2000 hours.) When the lamp usage time has exceeded 1900 hours, please replace the lamp unit (available separately). Also, when the image
becomes dark or the hue worsens, we recommend to replace the lamp; please replace with a new lamp unit.

Maintenance
5Reset the lamp usage time
Please perform the operation indicated below in the standby mode (*).
6Check that the indication of the lamp
usage time has become 0 H as illus-
trated in the diagram to the right.
If the usage time has not been reset, please reset it
by following Step 5 again.
•Do not reset the lamp usage time without replacing the lamp.
The likelihood of the lamp rupturing becomes higher when the lamp has been used in excess of 2000
hours.
CAUTION
NOTE:
•In the interest of safety, the lamp will not light when the lamp unit cover is off.
•The lamp units that are available separately are sold together with an air filter as a set in a lamp kit; therefore, please also
replace the air filter at the same time as lamp unit replacement. (See Page E-44.)
•Lamp units can be disposed of using the same disposal method as household fluorescent lamps in accordance with the
regulations of your region.
Operation with the Projector
Press these 
 buttons in order while pressing the  but-
ton.
Operation with the Remote Control
Resetting of the lamp usage time cannot be performed with the remote
control.
The LAMP/COVER LED will flash green following this and projection will start.
(*) When only the ON/STANDBY LED is lit red.
If the lamp is used without resetting the usage time, the correct lamp usage time will not be known;
therefore, be sure to reset the usage time after lamp replacement. When the indication exceeds 2000
hours, the projector will be forced to turn off the projection lamp.
CAUTION

Maintenance
1Remove the air filter cover
Press the 2 tabs of the air filter cover downward
while swinging the cover outward to remove the
air filter cover.
Air Filter Cleaning Procedure
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter is an important part that prevents the intrusion of dust onto the optical parts and other parts inside the
projector. When the air filter becomes blocked, the internal temperature will rise and the rotation of the fan will also
increase leading to a reduction of the service life or causing breakdown. In view of this, the air filter should be cleaned
regularly (about once a month, when the projector is used 4 hours per day).
Note that the air filter should be replaced with a new one when it becomes difficult to clean out the dust.
2Vacuum away the dust
Remove the air filter from the cover and use a
vacuum to suck away the dust from the outside
surface of the air filter.
3Install
Installation is performed by following the steps for
removal in reverse order. Press in the air filter cover
until a click sound is heard.
Air filter care and precautions
•Do not wash with water nor with hot water. Doing so will cause blockage.
•Do not wipe with a cloth or damp rag. Doing so will cause blockage.
•Be careful not to forget to install the air filter. Leaving the projector without a filter installed will allow dust
to enter the inside of the projector and the image quality may worsen.
•When the air filter is damaged, be sure to replace it with a new air filter (available separately as the
MPAF-C1). Use of the projector with a damaged filter will result in dust entering the inside of the
projector and this will cause the image quality to worsen.
CAUTION
NOTE: The lamp will not light unless the air fiter is installed.
Remove the dust
from this side.
