8.0 MAINTENANCE
8.1 Clean Dirt on the Cabinet
Always use a soft cloth. In case of heavy soiling, soak a cloth in neutral detergent diluted with water, wring dry and
wipe, followed by wiping again using a dry cloth.
Caution
Pay attention to the following as the cabinet may deteriorate in condition, get damaged or paint may come
off.
•Do not wipe with a stiff cloth.
•Do not wipe with force.
•Do not wipe with thinner or benzene.
•Do not spray volatile chemicals like insecticide.
•Do not allow prolonged contact with rubber or plastic products.
8.2 Dirt on the Lens
The lens shall be cleaned using commercial blowers or lens cleaning papers (for cleaning glasses and cameras).
Do not use fluid-type cleaning agents. This may lead to peeling of the surface coating film. The lens surface is
fragile. Avoid rubbing it hard or knocking.
8.3 Replacing the Lamp
Light-source Lamp and Lamp Usage Time
The life of light-source lamps used for this unit is about 3000 hours.
•The lamp life of 3000 hours is merely the average life span of light-source lamps and we do not provide any
guarantee for this figure. The lamp life may not reach 3000 hours depending on the operating conditions.
Deterioration progresses rapidly when the remaining lamp usage time is short. Get ready or replace with a new
lamp when the accumulated usage time exceeds 2900 hours. Depending on the operating conditions, the lamp
may have to be exchanged earlier.
If the image is dark or color tone abnormal, replace the lamp as soon as possible.
•You can also check the accumulated hours of usage. Please refer to Lamp Time in the Information menu.
When the lamp usage time reaches 2900 hours
The Lamp replacement message will be displayed on the screen the next three projection starts.
•Press the [BACK] button to clear the display.
Procedure for Lamp Replacement
During the lamp replacement process, you may have access to sensitive parts of the projector.
•Loosen the 2 screws on the lamp trap.
•Open the lamp Cover, at the rear of the projector.
•Loosen the 2 screws on the lamp unit to release it.
•Pull out the lamp unit using the handle.
•Insert the new lamp unit until it is firmly in place.
ABOUT LAMP REPLACEMENT
If this unit is installed in a constricted place, attempting to replace the lamp in that place may cause injury. Move this
unit to a place large enough to perform work.
Use only genuine replacement parts for the lamp unit. Otherwise, malfunction may occur. Also, never attempt to re-
use an old lamp unit. This may cause marked performance deterioration or lamp blowout, thus leading to unit
malfunction. Broken pieces of the lamp outside this unit may also cause injuries during lamp unit exchange.
Do not replace the lamp immediately after this unit has been used. The temperature of the lamp is still high and this
may cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of 1 hour or more before replacement.
Before replacing the lamp unit, pull out the power plug from the outlet and wait until the STANDBY/ON led is still light
red. Replacing a lamp with the plug connected to the outlet may cause injuries or electric shocks. 
						

							8.0  MAINTENANCE
R699782 - Starlight 3 User Manual35 
•Tighten the screws of the lamp unit.
•Attach the lamp cover and fasten the two lamp trap screws.
Resetting Lamp Time
After installing a new lamp, reset the lamp time into the OSD menu. 
a) Insert plug into the power outlet
b) When the projector is in standby mode (red STANDBY/ON led), use the remote control and press sequentially
the [BACK] - [OK] - [HIDE] within 1 second interval then [DOWN] for at least 2 seconds.
c) The sequence is successful if the STANDBY/ON and LAMP leds blink alternately for 3 seconds. 
8.4 Cleaning and Replacing the Dust Filters
The filters must be cleaned regularly to allow an efficient air intake. Otherwise, dirt may enter the unit and
appear on the screen, preventing you from enjoying the video fully. If dirt has entered the unit or if you need
information about the filter, please consult your authorized dealer. A filter cleaning warning appears every
500 hours.
Pull out the plug from the power outlet
Pull out the power plug from the outlet while the projector is in standby mode.
Remove the filters
Push up and lift the claw of the filters, pull out the filters.
Clean the filters
Clean the filters with water and dry them, avoiding direct sunlight. In extremely soiled cases, use of a neutral
detergent is recommended.
Reinstall the filters
Insert the filters in their original positions and make sure that the claws are firmly inserted.
Clean the Dust Filters every 500 hours.
8.5 Troubleshooting
TO ENSURE THE LAMP TIME HAS BEEN RESET
The lamp time can be checked via the Lamp hours item of the Information menu.
CAUTION DURING RESET WORK
Reset the lamp time only when you have replaced the lamp.
Never reset it when the lamp is still in use. Otherwise, the approximate standard for gauging replacement time may
be inaccurate, lamp performance may deteriorate and lamp blowout may occur.

ABOUT WARNINGS AND COOL-DOWN MODE
After projection or when a warning occurred (cases 7-16), the unit will go through a 1 minute cool-down process
known as the Cool Down mode. This function is to prevent lamp breakage and shortened lamp life but also damage
to the internal components of the projector.
The Cool Down mode is indicated by the blinking red STANDBY/ON led. When in Cool Down mode, the projector
cannot be turned ON.
After the Cool Down process is completed, the unit will automatically switch to the Standby mode indicated by a red
STANDBY/ON led.
CAUTION
When in Cool Down mode, do not pull out the plug from the outlet. Also, do not block the air inlets/exhaust vents by
standing the projector on its end or laying it on its side.
