Replacing the lamp
When replacing the lamp, turn off the projector and unplug the AC cord. Wait 45 minutes so
that the lamp can cool. When this high-pressure lamp is hot, it may explode if it is improperly
handled.
Lamp Replacement Procedure
Caution
z Dispose of used lamps in accordance with local authorities.
z As the lamp is made of glass, do not apply shocks to it or scratch it.
z Also, do not use an old lamp, as this could cause the lamp to explode.
z If it seems that the lamp has exploded (for example, an explosive sound is heard), disconnect
the power cord from the outlet and ask your dealer to replace the lamp. The lamp is covered
by a front glass panel and an air-tight structure, but, in rare cases, the reflector and the inside
of the projector may be damaged by scattered, broken pieces of glass, which could cause
injury while being handled.
z For replacement lamps, please contact your dealer. (Model name: VLT-X10LP)
1. Turn the main power switch off and disconnect the power cord
from the outlet.
2. Remove the lamp cover.
z If hot, the lamp could cause burns. Wait for about 45
minutes until lamp has cooled down.
z Loosen a screw and remove the cover.
3. Loosen the 2 screws and pull the handle to remove the lamp.
z If the screw is not loosened completely, you could hurt
your fingers.
z Do not insert your hand into the box after the lamp has
been removed. (There are optical parts inside which, if
touched, could result in color unevenness, etc.)
