Notes on the built-in small fluorescent lamp
When the picture becomes dim or goes out soon after you turn
on the unit installed with new batteries, the built-in small
fluorescent lamp (used in the internal lighting unit) has to be
replaced with new one.
When replacing, consult the nearest Sony dealer.
• The life of the lamp is about 2 years when you use the unit
two hours a day.
• When the batteries are run down, the lamp goes out.
• If the unit is used in a cold place, the lamp may become dim.
But as the temperature of the lamp goes up, it will be as bright
as in a normal condition.
