Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. As with any lamp, it has
lifespan and needs to be replaced when the Lamp indicator flashes or the
screen becomes darker. Note the following:
❑
After turning on your TV, it may take a while (1 minute or less) before
the picture appears.
❑
When the projection lamp wears out, the screen goes dark. Replace the
lamp with a new Sony XL-2400 replacement lamp (not supplied).
✍
The light emitted from the lamp is quite bright when your TV is in
use. To avoid eye discomfort or injury, do not look into the light
housing when the power is on.
