Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. As with any lamp, it has a
lifespan and needs to be replaced when the Lamp indicator flashes or the
screen becomes darker. Your TV also has a function to display a message,
"Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp." to let you
know that the lamp has reached its expected lifespan. 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).
❑
After lamp is replaced, please set the "Lamp Replacement" option in the
Setup Settings (see page 76 and 73).
✍
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.
