Cleaning the Filters 
The projector uses three filter s to keep the fans free of dust and other particles, and should be 
cleaned every 500 hours of operation. In dusty envir onments, it is recommended to clean the filters 
more frequently. If the filter is dirty or clogged,  your projector may overheat. When the message be-
low is displayed, the filters must be cleaned. 
 
Note:  
When the Please clean filter message is displayed, please clean all three filters at the 
same time to synchronize the Filter time display.  
The Filter Message item should be enabled in the Options menu. Refer to  Option on page 
72. 
Refer to the following guide to clean the filters. 
1.  The left-side and rear filters can be 
cleaned as demonstrated in the fol-
lowing images.  
Note:  Only clean the outside of the 
exhaust vents with a vacuum 
cleaner. 
 
  
 
2.  The rear exhaust vent can be  
accessed as shown. 
 
Once the filters are cleaned, please re set the filter hours by using the Clear filter time option in the  
Reset Menu Descriptions and Functions on page  80.

Replacing the Lamps 
When a lamp reaches the end of it’s usable life, the following messag\
e is displayed. Replace the lamp. 
 
The projection lamps should be replaced when they  burn out. They should only be replaced with a 
certified replacement part, contact your local dealer if unsure. 
Note: 
1. Lamps are positioned differently. Take care  not to force the lamps when replacing. 
 
2. Installation of both lamp modules (Lamp 1 and Lam p 2) is required to operate the projector in dual 
or single lamp mode. If only a single lamp module is installed, the projectors lamp will not turn on 
and will appear as a lamp failure. 
 
3. Lamps last approximately 2000-2100 hours (2500- 2600 hours in Eco mode) and the End of lamp 
life message is displayed during the lamps final 100 hours of operati onal life. Please replace during 
2000-2100 hour. 
 
Important: 
1. The lamp contains a certain  amount of mercury and should be disposed of according to local ordi-
nance regulations. 
 
2. Avoid touching the glass surf ace of the new lamp: doing so may shorten its operation life. 
 
Caution: 
Lamp Handling Precautions 
 
y This projector uses a high-pressure lamp wh ich must be handled carefully and properly. Improper 
handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard. 
 
y Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and accord ing to the environment of use. There is no guar-
antee of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may  fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of 
time than other similar lamps. 
 
y If the projector indicates that t he lamp should be replaced, i.e., if LAMP 1 and/or LAMP 2 light up, 
replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY afte r the projector has cooled down. (Follow care-
fully the instructions in the Lam p Replacement section of this m anual.) Continuous use of the lamp 
with LAMP 1 and/or LAMP 2 lighted may  increase the risk of lamp explosion. 
 
y A Lamp may explode as a result of  vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its 
lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may diffe r according to the environment or conditions in 
which the projector and lamp are being used. 
 
If a lamp explodes, the following safety precautions should be taken:  
Disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an authorized service 
station for a checkup of the unit  and replacement of the lamp. Additi onally, check carefully to ensure 
that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the pr ojector or coming out from the cool-
ing air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one should 
check the inside of the projecto r except those who are authoriz ed trained technicians and who are 
familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone,  especially those 
who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of 
broken glass.
