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.
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.
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.
