B Maintenance Replacing the Lamp The lamp used as a light source is a consumable product. Thus, replace the lamp with a new one in the following cases. • When the lamp has burnt out or dims • "Please replace the Lamp." appears on the screen • The LAMP/COVER indicator flashes in orange (Repetition rate of 3 flashes) (Refer to page 64 for another possible cause.) The lamp life varies depending on conditions of use. Use an LMP-D200 Projector Lamp as the replacement lamp. Use of any other lamps than the LMP-D200 may cause damage to the projector. Caution The lamp remains hot after the projector is turned off with the ?/1 key. If you touch the lamp, you may burn your finger. When you replace the lamp, wait for at least an hour for the lamp to cool. Notes • If the lamp breaks, contact qualified Sony personnel. • Pull out the lamp by holding the handle. If you touch the lamp, you may be burned or injured. • When removing the lamp, make sure it remains horizontal, then pull straight up. Do not tilt the lamp. If you pull out the lamp while it is tilted and if the lamp breaks, the pieces may scatter, causing injury. 1 Turn off the projector, and disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Note When replacing the lamp after using the projector, wait for at least an hour for the lamp to cool. 2 Place a protective sheet (cloth) beneath the projector. Turn the projector over so you can see its underside. Note Be sure that the projector is stable after turning it over. 3 Open the lamp cover by loosening one screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Bottom Note For safety reasons, do not loosen any other screws. 4 Loosen the two screws on the lamp unit with the Phillips screwdriver (a). Fold out the handle (b), then pull out the lamp unit by the handle (c). Fold out the handle. 58 Replacing the Lamp
