Lamp unit replacement
period
The lamp used as the light source
for this projector is a consumable
part. The normal operating life of the
lamp unit is about 2000 hours,
however the lamp unit may stop
projecting before 2000 hours of
operation is reached, depending on
the characteristics of the lamp and
also on the conditions under which
the lamp is being used. {If the lamp
is turned on and off very frequently,
or if the waiting period between
turning it off and turning it back on
again is too short, it may cause the
operating life of the lamp unit to be
shortened.) It is recommended that
you always have a replacement
lamp unit ready for use if needed.
Furthermore, the operating life can
be extended by setting LAMP
POWER in the OPTION menu to
“LOW”.
If the lamp is not replaced after the
cumulative usage time has passed
1800 hours (when LAMP POWER
has been set to “STD”), the power
will automatically turn off and the
projector will switch to standby
mode when the cumulative usage
time reaches 2000 hours. If you turn
the power back on after this 2000-
[
hour mark has been exceeded, the i
projector will automatically switch to i
standby mode again after
|
approximately 10 minutes.
