Regarding the Lamp
Lamp
■
It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced when the remaining lamp life becomes
5% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The lamp life
(percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. (See page
44
.)
■
Purchase a replacement lamp of type AN-XR20L2/AN-XR10L2 from your place of purchase, nearest
Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.
Caution Concerning the Lamp
■
This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp
failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surface
scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time.
The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition
and the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.
■
When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended
that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating
normally.
■
Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the
projector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector
Dealer or Service Center to assure safe operation.
■
Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the
lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes
mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In case
of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
Replacing the Lamp
Caution
• Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may
