How to replace the lamp cartridge
The lamp used as a light source in VS-50FD10U has an average life of about 8000 hours (under our
test conditions.) However, the lamp may burn out before reaching 8000 hours of operation.
You can project images after replacing the lamp cartridge. However, the following adjustments are
required to enjoy the equivalent image quality to that offered before the replacement of the lamp
cartridge. Please contact your Mitsubishi dealer for the following adjustments.
• 6 Axis adjustment
• CSC adjustment
• Reset of the lamp timer
Note
• Turn off the power and leave the projector for 1 hour or longer before replacing the lamp
cartridge. Be sure to put gloves on when replacing the lamp cartridge.
• Never touch the lamp while the lamp is on or right after the lamp is turned off because the
temperature of the lamp gets very high.
• Never touch the metal part of the lamp connector while the lamp is on because the temperature
of the metal part gets very high.
• Never touch the metal part of the lamp connector when the lamp is turned on because a high
pressure arises there.
• Never look into the lamp while it is on.
• Never touch the glass envelop of the lamp with your fingers. The oil on your fingers may cause
damage or explosion of the lamp.
• Replace the lamp with as less pressure as possible on the lamp cartridge.
