THE LAMP
HIGH VOLTAGE
HIGH TEMPERATURE
HIGH PRESSURE
To replace the lamp, check the model number of the replacement lamp (sold separately) and
contact your local dealer.
Replacement lamp model number: DT00531
If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, or if the lamp has broken, ask your dealer to replace the
lamp. Lamp replacement is hazardous and should not be attempted by the user.
Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the power cable is not plugged in,
then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot can cause
burns, as well as damaging the lamp.
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.
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above. This is
dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover is
opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have
the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken.
• 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 or a service representative.
• 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
THE LAMP (continued)
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 (serial number: DT00531)4Insert the new lamp, and
tighten the 3 screws firmly to
lock it in place
5Interlocking the 2 tabs of the
lamp cover to the projector,
put the lamp cover on the
projector.
Then push the point of the
lamp cover to fix it, as shown
in the figure.
Make sure that the lamp
cover does’t come up
2After making sure that the projector has
cooled adequately, slide the knob of a
lamp cover lock as shown in the figure.
Then, one side of the lamp cover is
raised. Pull up the lamp cover and
remove it, as shown in the figure
3Unscrew the 3 screws, and slowly pull
out the lamp by the handle
• Be careful not to touch the inside of the lamp case.
ATTENTION• Make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.
•Do not use with lamp cover removed.
•
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.
•When the lamp has been replaced after the message of “CHANGE THE LAMP .....THE POWER
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.
6Turn on the projector power,
and reset the lamp timer
• To reset the lamp timer, from the
OPTION menu, select the LAMP
TIME. (Vol.2        )

Caring for the air filter
