Replacing the lamp

A lamp has finite product life. Using the lamp for long periods of time could cause the
pictures darker or the color tone poor. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and
some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them.
Preparation of a new lamp and early replacement are recommended. To prepare a
new lamp, make contact with your dealer and tell the lamp type number.
