Lamp, Air Filter
E Lamp replacement period
Warning § If the Lamp does not light and the LAMP STATUS Code is "L-n," If
the Lamp will not light after turning on the main power 2 or 3 times,
the Lamp may be damaged. If the Lamp stil! does not light, the
Lamp may be damaged. Because Lamp fragments could cause
injury, DO NOT attempt to replace Lamp yourself. Take the LCD
Projector to your dealer for repair.
The LCD Projector lamp has a limited operating life of approximately 2 000 hours.
If lamp operation time exceeds 1 900 hours, "L-1" is displayed as the STATUS
Code.
"Lamp replacement is recommended." will be displayed on-screen when
operation time reaches 1 900 hours.
Take the LCD Projector to your dealer for repair. (Order Lamp ET-LACS50.)
* When the lamp operation time has exceeded 1 900 hours, a warning will appear for 15
seconds when the LCD Projector power is turned on.
E In case lamp time reaches 2 000 hours
The LCD Projector will shut itself OFF and the STATUS code indication becomes
"L-0".
* lf the Lamp is not replaced, turning POWER on will only cause the screen to be displayed
for 5 minutes.
¢ The lamp used as the light source eventually wears out. The service life of the light
source lamp used on the PT-LCSOU is about 2 000 hours, but depending on the individual
lamp's properties and the usage conditions the lamp may no longer light after less than 2
000 hours (the lamp is affected by the number of times the lamp is lit and the time span
until it is relit, and these may shorten the service life). Because of this, we recommend
having a replacement lamp on hand.
E Air Filter
For Air Filter replacement procedure, please refer to the CD ROM manual.
The air filter should be cleaned about every
100 hours. Also, clean the air filter if the "A-0"
is indicated in the STATUS Code display.
Replace the filter when it is clogged or dirty
even after cleaning.
e If the dust cannot be removed by cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Consult a
sales outlet.
CAUTION:
Operating LCD Projector with
torn or damaged Filter may
cause damage to LCD
Projector.
