Replacing the Lamp (For service personnel only)
Lamp and Lamp Usage Time
The maximum life of the lamp used for this unit is about 2000 hours, and may be far less depending on the type of usage and projector 
settings.
•  The lamp life may not reach 2000 hours depending on the operating conditions.
When the lamp approaches the end of its service life, deterioration progresses rapidly. Get ready or replace with a new lamp when the ac-
cumulated lamp usage time exceeds 1900 hours. Depending on the operating conditions, the lamp may have to be exchanged earlier. If 
the image is dark or color tone abnormal, replace the lamp as soon as possible. You can also check the accumulated hours of usage. Please 
refer to the “Lamp Hour” item of the “Information” menu. (Page 23,)
Please consult your authorized Vidikron dealer when purchasing a new lamp unit
■ When the lamp usage time exceeds 1000 hours
  A message indicating “1000 h” will be displayed on the screen.
  • Press the [EXIT ] button to clear the display.
■ When the lamp usage time exceeds 1900 hours
  The [LAMP] indicator lights up.
■  When starting projection after lamp usage time exceeds 
1900 hours
   The “Lamp replacement” message will be displayed on the 
screen.
  • Press the [EXIT ] button to clear the display.■ When lamp usage time exceeds 2000 hours
  The [LAMP] indicator starts to blink.
   The “Warning” and “Lamp replacement” messages will be displayed 
on the projected screen with the “Warning” word blinking.
  • Press the [EXIT ] button to clear the display.
   However, the same “Warning” and “Lamp replacement” messages 
will be displayed again after 1 hour.
   When the unit is switched to the standby mode or turned off  after 
the lamp usage time exceeds 2000 hours, it cannot be switched 
back to the projection mode again. In this case, replace with a 
new lamp and reset the lamp time.
■ When the lamp usage time exceeds 2010 hours
   The unit quits the projection mode (operating mode) and switch-
es into the cool down mode.
  • The [LAMP] and [OPERATE] indicators will start blinking.
  •  The projection mode (operating mode) cannot be restored until 
a new lamp is replaced and the lamp time reset.
•  If this unit is installed in a constricted place, attempting to replace the lamp in that place may cause injury. Move this unit to a place 
large enough to perform the work.
•  Use only genuine replacement parts for the lamp unit. Otherwise, malfunction may occur. Also, never attempt to re-use an old lamp 
unit. This may cause marked performance deterioration or lamp blowout, thus leading to unit malfunction. Broken pieces of the lamp 
outside this unit may also cause injuries during lamp unit exchange.
•  Do not replace the lamp immediately after this unit has been used. The temperature of the lamp unit is still high and this may cause a 
burn. Allow a cooling period of 1 hour or more before replacement.
•  Before replacing the lamp unit, pull out the power plug from the outlet while the [STAND BY ] indicator is still on. Replacing a lamp with 
the plug connected to the outlet may cause injuries or electric shocks.
About Lamp Replacement
Resetting Lamp Time
After your Vidikron dealer installs a new lamp, he will reset the lamp time. The lamp time counter will be reset and a new count will start. 
If display of the accumulated lamp time has reached 2000 hours, this unit will not work (lamp does not light up) unless the lamp time is 
reset.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter
Have your Vidikron dealer clean the fi lter regularly or air intake effi  ciency may deteriorate and malfunction may occur. If the fi lter is ex-
tremely dirty and cannot be cleaned, or if it is damaged, replace the fi lter with a new one. Otherwise, dirt may enter the unit and appear 
on the screen, preventing you from enjoying the video fully. If dirt has entered the unit or if you need information about the fi lter, please 
consult your authorized Vidikron dealer.
• The air inlet fi  lter on the right side cannot be removed. Please have this cleaned regularly.
