Timing of replacing the lamp
When the lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp, 
please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector 
and in some instances the lamp may explode.
The LAMP indicator light and TEMPerature indicator light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. 
Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or LAMP indicator light still 
lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See Indicators on page 65 
for details.
The following lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
StatusMessage
The lamp has been in operation for 4500 hours. Install a new lamp 
for optimal performance. If the projector is normally run with 
Economic selected (See Setting Lamp Mode as Economic on page 
60), you may continue to operate the projector until the 4950 hour 
lamp warning appears.
The lamp has been in operation for 4950 hours. A new lamp should 
be fitted to avoid the inconvenience when the projector runs out of 
lamp time.
The lamp has been in operation for 5000 hours.
It is strongly recommended that you replace the lamp at this age. 
The lamp is a consumable item. The lamp brightness 
diminishes with use. This is normal lamp behavior. You can 
replace the lamp whenever you notice that the brightness 
level has significantly diminished. If the lamp is not 
replaced beforehand, it must be replaced after 5000 hours 
usage.
The lamp MUST be replaced before the projector will operate 
normally.

Replacing the lamp   Spare lamp: LV-LP37 (LV-X300/LV-S300)/
LV-LP39 (LV-WX300)
• Be sure to replace the lamp with a new lamp separately sold that is exclusive to this projector. 
Contact your dealer for purchase of the lamp.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power 
cord before changing the lamp.   
• To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before 
replacing the lamp.
• To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution when 
removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces. To reduce the risk of injuries to 
fingers and/or compromising image quality by touching the lens, do not touch the empty lamp 
compartment when the lamp is removed.
• Be sure to install the lamp securely. When the lamp isn’t installed properly, it won’t illuminate. 
Improper installation may also result in fire.
• If the lamp should break, never shake the lamp box or hold it in front of your face after 
removing it. The glass fragments may fall out and cause injury to your eyes.
• In the event that the high-pressure mercury lamp exploded, glass fragments may have been 
scattered inside the projector. Ask your dealer to replace the lamp and to inspect the inside of 
the projector. When you clean or replace the lamp by yourself, be sure to hold the handle of the 
lamp. You may get injured by glass fragments. 
• Contact your dealer when replacing the lamp unit with the projector mounted to the ceiling.
• Don’t remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Unnecessary removal of the 
lamp may result in a breakdown.
• This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp as the light source. The high-pressure 
mercury lamp may explode or fail to illuminate permanently because of an impact, scratch, or 
deterioration through use. The period of time until explosion or permanent failure to illuminate 
varies considerably from lamp to lamp, depending on operation conditions. Therefore, the 
lamp may explode soon after the start of use.
• The possibility of explosion of the lamp increases if you use it beyond its replacement period. 
When the instruction of lamp replacement appears, replace it with a new one immediately even 
if the lamp is still lighting normally. 
• When the high-pressure mercury lamp explodes, glass fragments will scatter inside or outside 
the lamp box and the gas charged inside the lamp will diffuse inside or outside the projector. 
The gas inside the lamp contains mercury. Be careful not to breathe it or avoid it from entering 
your eye or mouth. If you should breathe it or if it should enter your eye or mouth, see a doctor 
immediately.
• This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations to dispose of this 
lamp in a proper manner.
• Be sure to use the lamp dedicated to this projector, LV-LP37 (LV-X300/LV-S300)/LV-LP39 (LV-
WX300). Use of other lamps may cause a failure of the projector.
1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the 
wall socket. If the lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for 
approximately 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.
2. Unscrew the screws on the lamp cover.

scatter broken glass in the projector.
• Do not place the lamp in locations where water might 
splash on it, children can reach it, or near flammable 
materials.
• Do not insert your hands into the projector after the lamp 
is removed. If you touch the optical components inside, 
it could cause color unevenness and distortion of the 
projected images.
7. As shown in the figure, lower the new lamp into the lamp 
compartment while aligning the lamp with the holes in the 
lamp compartment. Make sure it fits in the projector.
8. Tighten the screw that secures the lamp.
• Loose screw may cause a bad connection, which could 
result in malfunction.
• Do not over tighten the screw.
9. Ensure the handle is fully laid flat and locked in place.
