Getting to know the 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:
For the MP772 ST:
Total (equivalent) lamp hour
= 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 4/3 (hours used in normal mode)
For the MP776 ST:
Total (equivalent) lamp hour
= 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 3/2 (hours used in normal mode)
See "Setting Lamp Mode as Economic" below for more information on Economic mode.
