Replacing the Lamp

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-P260 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.
1
Turn off the projector, and disconnect
the AC power cord from the AC
outlet.
Note
When replacing the lamp after using the
projector, wait for at least an hour for the
lamp to cool.

Place a protective sheet (cloth)
beneath the projector. Turn the
projector over so you can see its
