Replacing The Lamp - Yamaha LPX-510 Owner's Manual

• • • •
The lamp replacement warning message is set to appear after approximately 1600 hours
of lamp use in order to maintain the brightness and quality of the projected images. The
time taken for the message to be displayed will vary depending on factors such as the
lamp power setting and the picture mode setting.
If you continue to use the lamp after this period, the possibility of the
lamp breaking becomes greater.
When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon
as possible, even if it is still working.
• • • •
The actual life of each individual lamp will vary depending on the characteristics of the
lamp and on the way it has been used. The lamp may become dark or be off even before
the lamp replacement message appears. You should always have a spare lamp ready in
case it is needed.
