RECOMMENDATION
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when
operating a projector.  Usage in these environments may
cause poor image quality.
When using under dusty or smoky conditions, dust may
accumulate on liquid crystal panel, lens, or optical elements inside
it. This condition may degrade quality of projected image.
When above symptoms are noticed, contact your authorized
dealer or service station for proper cleaning.
Pull down the tabs on both sides top of the filter cover and
open the projector cover.
Pull out the air filter from the projector.
Replace the new air filter and the filter cover properly onto
the projector.
Reset the Filter time.See “Filter” in the Special menu on
page 57.5
Filter cover
CAUTION
Do not operate a projector with Air Filter removed. Dust
may accumulate on LCD Panel and Mirror degrading
picture quality.
Do not put small parts into Air Intake Vents. It may result
in malfunction of a projector.
Air Filter Replacement
Air filter
Air filters prevent dust from accumulating on the surface of the optical elements inside the projector. Should the air filters
become clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat build up and
adversely affect the life of the projector. Proper maintenance should be taken.
TOP CONTROL
WARNING FILTER
lights orange
This projector can monitor the filter condition. When the filter is
clogged with dust and the performance is degraded, the
WARNING FILTER indicator lights orange and let you know the
filter replacement is required.   
If the indicator is lighting orange, turn off the projector and replace
the air filter immediately.
Using the projector with the WARNING FILTER indicator lighting
may result in internal heat build up and cause damage to the
optical elements inside the projector. The projector will shutdown
automatically to protect itself when the projectors inside
temperature is abnormally high.  
WARNING FILTER Indicator
Maintenance & Cleaning
✔Note:
• The projector cannot be operated with the air filter removed;
it will shut down automatically if the air filter is removed

Maintenance and Cleaning
This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly. Improper handling may result
in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee of the
same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their lifetime in a shorter period of time than other
similar lamps.
If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE INDICATOR lights up,
replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down.  
(Follow carefully the instructions in the LAMP REPLACEMENT section of this manual.) Continuous use of the
lamp with the LAMP REPLACE INDICATOR lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.  
A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its lifetime draws
to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in which the projector and lamp
are being used.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an authorized service
station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check carefully to ensure that there are
no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out from the cooling air circulation holes. Any
broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one should check the inside of the projector except those
who are authorized trained technicians and who are familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service
the unit by anyone, especially those who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury
caused by pieces of broken glass.  
ORDER REPLACEMENT LAMP
Replacement Lamp can be ordered through your dealer. When ordering a Projection Lamp, give the following
information to the dealer.
Model No. of your projector   : LC-X6A/LC-SX6A
