Maintaining the Projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you have to do is keep 
the lens clean and periodically clean the air filter and vent. A clogged

The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any 
other part needs replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified servicer.
