Replacing the Lamp
Replacing the Lamp
The lamp used as a light source is
consumable product. Thus, replace the lamp
with a new one in the following cases.
• When the lamp has burnt out or dims
• “Please replace the Lamp.” appears on the
screen
• The LAMP/COVER indicator lights up
The lamp life varies depending on
conditions of use.
Use an LMP-C161 Projector Lamp as the
replacement lamp.
Use of any other lamps than the LMP-C161
may cause damage to the projector.
The lamp remains not 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.
• If the lamp breaks, consult with qualified
Sony personnel.
• Pull out the lamp by holding the handle. If
you touch the lamp, you may be burned or
injured.
• When removing the lamp, make sure it
remains horizontal, then pull straight up. 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.
