Lamp information
Calculation of lamp hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically
calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as
follows:
Total (equivalent) lamp hour
= 3/4 (hours used in Economic mode) +1 (hours used in normal mode)
See "Lamp Mode (Normal)" on page 51 for more information on Economic mode.
The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 3/4 of that in normal mode. That is, using
the projector in Economic mode helps to extend the lamp hour by 1/3.
Warning message
When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace
the lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a
malfunction in the projector and in some instances the lamp may explode.
The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes
too hot. Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp
indicator still lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See
"Indicators" on page 60 for details.
The following Lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
Message Status

selected (See "Lamp Mode (Normal)" on page 51),
you may continue to operate the projector until the
