MAINTENANCE
Lamp
Contact your dealer before replacing the lamp.
For the lamp replacement, see the item “Optional Parts” of the Table 12.
Before replacing the lamp, switch power OFF, remove the power cord from the power outlet, and 
wait approximately 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled. The lamp may explode if handled at high 
temperatures.
WARNING: 
• For disposal of used lamp, treat according to the instruction of community authorities.
• Since the lamp is made of glass, do not apply shock to it and do not scratch it.
• Also, do not use old lamp. This could also cause explosion of the lamp.
• Premature lamp failure MAY be caused by an electronic component in the projector and not 
necessarily the lamp. If unsure contact your local service center.
• If it is probable that the lamp has exploded (explosive sound is heard), disconnect the power plug 
from the power outlet and ask your dealer to replace lamp. The lamp is covered by front glass, 
but, in rare cases, the reflector and the inside of the projector may be damaged by scattered 
broken pieces of glass, and broken pieces could cause injury when being handled.
• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed.
Lamp Life
Projector lamps have a finite life. The image will become darker, and hues will become weaker, after 
a lamp has been used for a long period of time. Replace the lamp if the LAMP indicator is red, or the 
CHANGE THE LAMP message appears when the projector is switched ON. See Table 9 on p. 20 
and Table 10 on p. 21.
NOTE: • 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.

Replacing the Lamp
1Switch the projector OFF, remove the power cord from the power 
outlet, and wait at least 45 minutes for the unit to cool.
2Prepare a new lamp.
3Check that the projector has cooled sufficiently, and gently turn it 
upside down.
4Loosen the screw as shown in the diagram, and remove the lamp 
cover.
5Loosen the two screws, and gently remove the lamp while holding 
the grips. Touching the inside of the lamp case may result in 
uneven coloring.
6Install the new lamp and tighten the two screws firmly. Also 
steadily push the opposite side of the screwed lamp into the unit.
7Replace the lamp cover in position and tighten the screw firmly.
8Gently turn the projector right-side up.
CAUTION
• Ensure that screws are tightened properly. Screws not tightened 
fully may result in injury or accidents.
• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed.
Resetting the Lamp Timer
Reset the lamp timer after replacing the lamp. When the lamp has been replaced after the LAMP 
indicator is red, or the CHANGE THE LAMP message is displayed, complete the following opera-
tion within ten minutes of switching power ON. The power will be turned off automatically if over 
10 minutes.
1Switch power ON, and press the RESET button, for approximately three seconds. The ‘LAMP 
xxxx hr’ message will appear on the lamp timer on the bottom of the screen.
2Press the MENU button on the remote control transmitter, or the RESET button on the control 
panel, while the lamp timer is displayed. The ‘LAMP xxxx□
→ 0■ CANCEL’ message will 
then appear.
3Press the       and select 0,and wait until the timer display is cleared.
NOTE: • 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.
