Replacing the Lamp
When the lamp begins to dim, replace it promptly

new one after about 2000 hours with the OFF setting,
or about 3000 hours with the ON setting of the
CINEMA BLACK item.
When it is time to change the lamp, a message
saying “Please replace the LAMP.” will be
displayed.

Wait for at least an hour for the lamp to cool.
