Replacing The Lamp - Sony VPL-PX41 Manual De Referencia

Replacing the Lamp

When the lamp has burnt out or dims, or
"Please replace the LAMP." appears on the
screen, replace the lamp with a new one. Use
LMP-P260 Projector Lamp as the
replacement lamp. The lamp life varies
depending on conditions of use.
Caution
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.
Notes
• If the lamp breaks, consult with 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 tilted and if
the lamp is broken, the pieces may scatter,
causing injury.
