Replacing The Lamp - Sony VPL-FX500L Operating Instructions Manual

Replacing the Lamp

Replace the lamp with a new one if a message displayed on the projected image or the LAMP/
COVER indicator notifies you to replace the lamp and filter.
The projector incorporates two lamps. Before replacement, check which lamp is to be replaced
(page 26).
Use an LMP-F330 projector lamp (not supplied) for replacement.
Caution
• The lamp remains hot after the projector is
turned off. If you touch the lamp, you may
burn your finger. When you replace the
lamp, wait for at least an hour after
turning off the projector for the lamp to
cool sufficiently.
• Do not allow any metallic or inflammable
objects into the lamp replacement slot after
removing the lamp, otherwise it may cause
electrical shock or fire. Do not put your
hands into the slot.
• If the lamp breaks, contact qualified
Sony personnel. Do not replace the lamp
yourself.
• When removing the lamp, be sure to pull it
out straight, by holding it by grab. If you
touch a part of the lamp other than the grab,
you may be burned or injured. If you pull out
the lamp while the projector is tilted, the
pieces may scatter if the lamp breaks any
may cause injury.
