Notes
• If the lamp breaks, consult with qualified Sony
personnel.
• Pull out the lamp unit by holding the handle. If you
touch the lamp unit, you may be burned or injured.
• When removing the lamp unit, make sure it remains
horizontal, then pull straight up. Do not tilt the lamp
unit. If you pull out the lamp unit while tilted and if
the lamp breaks, the pieces may scatter, causing
injury.
Replacing the Lamp
When it is time to replace the lamp, replace the lamp
promptly with a new LMP-P200 Projector Lamp.
The lamp reaches the end of its life after about 1000
hours for the STANDARD setting, or about 2000
hours for the LOW setting in the LAMP MODE.
When it is time to change the lamp, a message which
says, “Please replace the LAMP.” will be displayed.
When replacing the lamp after using the
projector
Turn off the projector, then unplug the power cord.
Wait for at least an hour for the lamp to cool.
Note
The lamp becomes a high temperature after turning
off the projector with the
I / 1 key. If you touch the
lamp, you may scald your finger. When you replace
the lamp, wait for at least an hour for the lamp to cool.

Place a protective sheet (cloth) beneath the
projector.
Hold the projector handle and turn the projector
toward the control panel as shown below.
Note
When replacing the lamp, be sure it is on a flat
and stable surface.

Open the lamp cover by loosening one screw with
the Philips screwdriver (supplied with the LMP-
P200 Projector Lamp).
