Replacing the Lamp
The projection lamp typically lasts for about 1000 hours of
use. It is time to replace the lamp when you see the following:
❏ The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
❏ The lamp warning light on top of the projector is red,
flashing red, or orange.
❏ The message
LAMP REPLACE
appears on the screen when
the lamp comes on (after about 900 hours of use). To
maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace the
lamp as soon as possible.

the glass portion of the lamp assembly. Touching the glass portion
