B Maintenance
Replacing the
Lamp (s)
The lamps used as a light source are a
consumable product. Thus replace the
exhausted lamp (Lamp 1 or 2) with a new
one in the following cases.
• When the lamp has burnt out or dims
• When the message for replacement of the
lamp appears.
• The LAMP/COVER indicator flashes.
(Repetition rate of 3 flashes)
The lamp life varies depending on
conditions of use.
Use an LMP-F271 Projector Lamp as the
replacement lamp.
Use of any other lamps than the LMP-F271
may cause damage to the projector.
Caution
The lamp remains hot after the projector is
turned off with the ?/1 key. If you touch the
lamp, you may burn 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 knob. If you
touch the lamp, you may be burned or
injured.
• When removing the lamp, make sure it
remains horizontal, then pull straight out. Do
not tilt the lamp. If you pull out the lamp
while it is tilted and if the lamp breaks, the
pieces may scatter, causing injury.

Note
When replacing the lamp after using the
