Replacing the Lamp
The projection lamp typically lasts for about 3000 hours of use. It is
time to replace the lamp when:
■ The projection image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
■ The lamp light is red or flashing orange.
■ The message LAMP REPLACE appears on the screen when the
lamp comes on (after about 2900 hours of use). To maintain
projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp as soon
as possible.

1. Turn off the projector and wait for it to cool down (until the light
stops flashing).
2. Turn off the power switch on the back of the projector and
unplug the power cord.

on).
