Replacing the lamp
All projector lamps will wear out eventually. If used for long periods of time, the image could become
darkened, and the color contrast could be impacted as well. We recommend that you replace your lamps
early. If the lamp indicator turns red, or a message prompts you to replace the lamp when you power up
the projector, the lamp needs to be replaced. (See "Related Messages" ( ) and "Regarding the
Indicator Lamps" ( ) for details.)
