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.
