THE LAMP
HIGH VOLTAGE
HIGH TEMPERATURE
HIGH PRESSURE
Before replacing the lamp, check the serial number of the replacement lamp bulb (sold separately:
DT00401 for CP-S225/DT00461 for CP-X275), then contact your local dealer. Before replacing the
lamp, turn off the power, and unplug the power cord, then wait at least 45 minutes, in order to
ensure that the lamp is properly cooled. Removing the lamp bulb while it is still hot could cause
burns, or cause the lamp bulb to burst.
The LCD projector uses a glass lamp bulb. It is a mercury lamp with high
internal pressure. High-pressure mercury lamps can break with a loud
bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, or through wear over time. Each lamp has a
different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In
addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing,
and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.
• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.
• If the replace lamp indicator (see Related Messages (Vol.2       ) and Regarding the
indicator Lamps (Vol.2       )) comes on, replace the lamp as soon as possible. Using the
lamp for long periods of time, or past the replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do
not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are electrical problems
elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your local dealer.
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the room well, and make
sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power cord from
the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that
shards of glass could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so
please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.
• Obey local ordinances when disposing of used lamps. In most cases, it is possible to dispose of used
bulbs in the same manner as used glass bottles, but in some cases, bulbs are sorted separately.
• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed.

• The LAMP indicator is also red when the lamp unit reaches high temperature.
Before replacing the lamp, switch power OFF, wait approximately 20 minutes, and switch power
ON again. If the LAMP indicator is still red, replace the lamp.NOTE
Replacing the lamp
All projector lamps will wear out eventually. If used for long periods of time, the image could become
darkened, and the color contrast could be impacted as well. We recommend that you replace your lamps
early. If the LAMP indicator turns red, or a message prompts you to replace the lamp when you power up
the projector, the lamp needs to be replaced. (See Related Messages (Vol.2      ) and Regarding the
Indicator Lamps (Vol.2        ) for details.)
1Turn off the projector, and unplug the
power cord. Allow the lamp bulb to cool
for at least 45 minutes, and prepare a
new lamp (sold separately: DT00401 for
CP-S225/DT00461 for CP-X275)5Insert the new lamp, and tighten the 1
screw firmly to lock it in place

•
Do not reset the lamp timer without replacing the lamp. Reset the lamp timer always when replacing
the lamp. The message functions will not operate  properly if the lamp timer is not reset correctly.

WILL TURN OFF AFTER 0 hr. is displayed, or the LAMP indicator is red, complete the following
operation within 10 minutes of switching power ON.

THE AIR FILTER
Caring for the air filter
The air filter should be cleaned about every 100 hours. If the LAMP indicator and
TEMP indicator blink red simultaneously, or a message prompts you to clean the air
filter when you turn on the unit, the filter needs to be cleaned. (See Related
Messages (Vol.2       ) and Regarding the Indicator Lamps (Vol.2       ) for details.)

1Turn off the projector, and unplug the power cord. Prepare a
new air filter (one specified for your projector)
2Remove the air filter cover and air filter
4Turn on the projector power, and using the menu, reset the

filter cover
ATTENTION• Make sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord before caring for
the unit. Please carefully read Safety Instructions, in order to care for your projector correctly.
•Do not use with air filter cover removed.
•If the air filter becomes clogged by dust or the like, internal temperature rises and could cause
malfunction. The power is automatically turned off in order to prevent the unit from overheating
internally.

OTHER CARE
Caring for the inside of the projector :
In order to ensure the safe use of your projector, please have it cleaned and inspected by
your local dealer about once every 2 years. Never try to care for the inside of the unit
yourself. Doing so is dangerous.
Caring for the lens :
Lightly wipe the lens with a commercially available lens-cleaning wipe. Do not touch the
lens directly with your hand.
Caring for the cabinet and remote control transmitter :
Wipe lightly with gauze or a soft cloth. If soiling is severe, dip a soft cloth in water or a
neutral cleanser diluted in water, and wipe lightly after wringing well. Then, wipe lightly
with a soft, dry cloth.
ATTENTION• Make sure to turn off the power and unplug the power cord before caring for
the unit. Please carefully read Safety Instructions in this manual, in order to care for your projector
correctly.
•Do not use cleaners or chemicals other than those listed above, including benzene and paint
thinner.
•Do not use aerosols or sprays.
•Do not polish or wipe with hard objects.
