Replacing the Lamp

When the lamp becomes dark or the picture colour is 

not normal or the lamp indicator   on the set flashes, 

replace with a new lamp.

• Use the lamp XL-2000E for replacement. If you use 

another lamp, it may cause damage to the set.

• Do not remove the lamp except when replacing it.  

• Before replacing the lamp, turn off the power and 

disconnect the power cord.

• Replace the lamp after it becomes cool.  The front 

glass of the lamp remains 100 °C (212 °F) and more 

even 30 minutes after the power is turned off.

• Do not place the removed lamp in proximity to 

children or flammable material.

• Do not get the removed lamp wet, or insert objects 

inside the lamp.  It may cause the lamp to explode.

• Do not place near metal or easily flammable objects, 

as this may cause fire.  Also, do not put your hand 

inside the lamp compartment, as you may be burned. 

• Attach the new lamp firmly.  If it is not firmly 

attached,  the picture may become dark.
