Reset of the lamp operation timePlug in the power cord, and reset the lamp operation time by keep pressing the , , and POWER buttons on the control panel at the same time. Important:• Unless these three buttons are pressed at the same time, the lamp operation time isn’t reset.• Make sure that the STATUS indicator is lit twice and the lamp operation time is reset successfully.• The projector doesn’t turn on if the lamp cover isn’t attached securely.• Be sure to reset the lamp operation time whenever you replace the lamp.• Do not reset the lamp operation time unless you replace the lamp. Caution:• The lamp is fragile. If it is broken, be careful not to cut yourself with glass fragments.• Contact your dealer for a new lamp. Interval of lamp replacementThe recommended interval of lamp replacement is about 5000 hours*1*2 of consecutive use. Such interval differs depending on the operating environment and may be shorter than 5000 hours*1*2. Decrease in luminescence and/or color brightness indicates that the lamp needs to be replaced. When the lamp operation time exceeds 3750 hours*1, the indicator will blink alternately between green and red (while the lamp is lit; when the lamp is not lit, the indicator will be lit red only) and the lamp replacement message will appear on the screen for one minute everytime the lamp is turned on. When the lamp has been used for about 4750 hours*1, the replacement message (LAMP EXCHANGE) will appear on the screen for one minute every 25 hours*1 thereafter. When the lamp operation time exceeds 5000hours*1*2, the projector automatically shuts off and can’t be used until the lamp is replaced and the lamp operation time is reset.*1: Duration when LAMP MODE in the QUICK MENU or the INSTALLATION menu or the EFFICIENT MODE menu is set to LOW. When it is set to STANDARD, this duration will be shorted.*2: When LAMP MODE is set to STANDARD, this duration will beshorted to 3000 hours. Important:• Do not open the lamp cover when the projector is set at a ceiling or a high place. Lamp fragments may fall from the inside if the lamp were broken.Please contact your dealer when you need to replace the lamp with a new one. Caution: • This projector uses a lamp that contains mercury. Disposal of the lamp or the projector with the lamp may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org. (For the U.S. only.)
EN-39 Troubleshooting Before asking for repair of the projector, check the following. If the symptom persists, stop using the projector, be sure to unplug the power plug, and then contact your dealer. No image appears on the screen.

Steady red Off • If any objects are blocking the intake or exhaust vents, remove them and carry out the following. 1. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 2. Make sure that the projector has cooled off. 3. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet. 4. Press the POWER button. Blinking orange • If any objects are blocking the intake or exhaust vents, remove them. • Don’t expose the exhaust vents to hot air emitted from a heating appliance. Blinking green • After the STATUS indicator stops blinking, press the POWER button.• If you unplug the power cord while the fan is rotating, the lamp may not turn on about 1 minute when you plug the power cord next time. • The lamp can’t turn on again for 1 minute after it goes out. • Press the POWER button several times. Steady red • Replace the lamp. (The lamp is at the end of its life.) Blinking red/green Off• Attach the lamp cover on the top. Steady or Blinking • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and contact your dealer. No image appears on the screen. • Cancel the AV mute by pressing the AV MUTE button. • Check that the lens cap is removed. • It may take about 1 minute for the lamp to light up. • The lamp fails to light up on rare occasions. In such a case, wait for a few minutes and then try again. • If the projector was turned off before the lamp was cooled down sufficiently last time, the fan may start rotating and the POWER button may not work after the power cord is plugged. Press the POWER button to turn back on the POWER indicator. • Check that the intake vent is clean. • Check that the lamp cover is closed. (See page 38.) • Check that the cables connected to the external devices are not broken. • When an extension cable is being used, replace it with the supplied cable for check. When images are displayed correctly, add an RGB signal amplifier to the extension cable. Power turns off. • This problem may occur when the intake vent and/or exhaust vents are blocked. (In such a case, the STATUS indicator brinks orange.) Remove the objects blocking the intake vent and/or exhaust vents and the\ n carry out the following procedure. 1. Wait for the intake fan and/or exhaust fan to stop. (Wait until the STATUS indicator goes out.) 2. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 3. Wait about 10 minutes. 4. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet. 5. Press the POWER button. • When the STATUS indicator is steady red, it is indicating that the lamp should be replaced. Replace the lamp in this case. • Check that AUTO POWER OFF has been set to OFF. • If the lamp has deteriorated, it may go out after a while it illuminates.
EN-40 Troubleshooting (continued) No image appears on the screen. (continued) ProblemSolution The screen for entering the password appears. • PASSWORD FUNCTION in the FEATURE menu has been set to DISPLAY INPUT to enable the password lock. Enter the password or contact the person in charge of management of the projector. (See page 34.) “NO SIGNAL” is displayed. • Turn on the power of the connected device, or check whether there is something wrong with the connected device. • Check whether the external device output signals. (Check this especially when the external device is a notebook computer.) • Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t defective. • Check that the projector is connected to the external device using the correct terminals. • Check that the connected device is correctly selected as the input source. • When an extension cord is being used, replace it with the supplied cable and check whether images are projected correctly. If images are projected correctly, use an RGB signal amplifier along with the extension cord. Images are not displayed correctly. ProblemSolution Projected images are shaking. Projected images are displaced. • Check that the cable connected to the external device isn’t intermittent. • Connect the cable’s plug with the external device’s connector firmly. • Press the AUTO POSITION button. • Some computers output out-of-spec signals on rare occasion. Adjust the SIGNAL menu. (See page 29.) Projected images are distorted. • Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See page 14.) Projected images are dark. • Adjust BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST in the QUICK MENU or the IMAGE menu. (See page 27.) • Replace the lamp. (See page 37.) Projected images are blurred. • Adjust the focus. (See page 16.) • Clean the lens. • Press the or button on the remote control to eliminate flicker. • Adjust TRACKING and FINE SYNC. in the SIGNAL menu. (See page 29.) • Adjust BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST in the QUICK MENU or the IMAGE menu. (See page 27.) • Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See page 14.) Afterimages persist on the screen. • This phenomenon is improved by keeping projecting an evenly bright image. (Such “image burn-in” phenomenon where afterimages persist on the screen may occur if a stationary image is kept displayed on the screen for a long time.) White dots are seen on projected images. Black dots are seen on projected images. • This phenomenon is normal for a DLP™ projector and is not a malfunction. (A very small number of pixels may visibly or invisibly be persistent all the ti\ me, but they are not a sign of system malfunctions. Over 99.99% of the pixels are effective.) Fine streaks are seen on projected images. • This is due to interference with the screen surface and is not a malfunction. Replace the screen or displace the focus a little. • Vertical or horizontal streak noise may appear on the projected image, depending on the type of the DVD player, game console or computer you use. In such a case, you can reduce such streak noise by enabling the LPF. Projected images become wavy. • Connect the plugs of the cables to external devices securely. • Keep the projector away from equipment generating interfering radio waves. • When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not be displayed correctly because of the type of input signal. This isn’t a product malfunction. In this case, readjust the keystone so that the amount of keystone correction is as small as possible.
