Replacing The Lamp - Sony VPL-FX52 Quick Reference Manual

Replacing the Lamp

The lamp used as a light source is a
consumable product. When the lamp has
burnt out or dims, or "Please replace the
LAMP." appears on the screen, replace the
lamp with a new one. Use LMP-F300
Projector Lamp as the replacement lamp.
The lamp life varies depending on
conditions of use.
Caution
The lamp becomes a high temperature after
turning off the projector with the I / 1 key. If you
touch the lamp, you may scald your finger.
When you replace the lamp, wait for at least an
hour for the lamp to cool.
Notes
• If the lamp breaks, consult with qualified Sony
personnel.
• Pull out the lamp by holding the handle. If you
touch the lamp, you may be burned or injured.
• When removing the lamp, make sure it remains
horizontal, then pull straight up. Do not tilt the
lamp. If you pull out the lamp while tilted and if
the lamp is broken, the pieces may scatter,
causing injury.
• To erase a message, press any key on the control
panel of the projector or on the remote
commander.
