EXTENDING LAMP LIFE
Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power
consumption by 20%. If the Economic mode is selected, the light output will be
reduced and result in darker projected pictures.
Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp
operation life.
To set Economic mode, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced >
Lamp Settings > Lamp mode menu and press [ < / > ].
REPLACING LAMP
Install a new lamp for optimal performance. If the projector
is normally run with Economic selected you may continue to operate the
projector until the next lamp warning appears.
A new lamp should be fitted to avoid the inconvenience when
the projector runs out of lamp time.
It is strongly recommended that you replace the lamp
at this stage. The lamp is a consumable item. The lamp brightness diminishes
with use. This is normal lamp behavior. You can replace the lamp whenever you
notice that the brightness level has significantly diminished.
