Replacing the Lamp
When it is time to replace the lamp, replace the lamp
promptly with a new LMP-P200 Projector Lamp.
The lamp reaches the end of its life after about 1000
hours for the STANDARD setting, or about 2000
hours for the LOW setting in the LAMP MODE.
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.
Note
The lamp becomes a high temperature after turning
off the projector with the
I
/

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.
1
Place a protective sheet (cloth) beneath the
projector.
Hold the projector handle and turn the projector
toward the control panel as shown below.
Note
When replacing the lamp, be sure it is on a flat
and stable surface.
2
Open the lamp cover by loosening one screw with
the Philips screwdriver (supplied with the LMP-
P200 Projector Lamp).
3
Loosen two screws on the lamp unit with the
Philips screwdriver.
4
While holding the handle and keeping the lamp
unit horizontal, pull straight up.
Notes
• Pull out the lamp unit by holding the handle. If
you touch the lamp unit, you may be burned or
injured.
• When removing the lamp unit, make sure it
remains horizontal, then pull straight up. Do not
tilt the lamp unit. If you pull out the lamp unit
while tilted and if the lamp breaks, the pieces
may scatter, causing injury.
• If the lamp breaks, consult with qualified Sony
personnel.
5
Insert the new lamp all the way in until it is
securely in place. Tighten the screws. Fold down
the handle.
Notes
• Be careful not to touch the glass surface of the
lamp.
• The power will not turn on if the lamp is not
secured properly.

Notes
• Be sure to use the LMP-P200 Projector Lamp for
replacement. If you use lamps other than LMP-P200,
the projector may cause a malfunction.
• Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the
power cord before replacing the lamp.
• Do not put your hands into the lamp replacement
spot, or not fall any liquid or object into it to avoid
electrical shock or fire.
Disposal of used projector lamp
As the materials used in this lamp are similar to those
of a fluorescent lamp, you should dispose of a used
projector lamp in the same way as a fluorescent lamp.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter should be cleaned every 300 hours.
When it becomes difficult to remove the dust from the
filter, replace the filter with a new one.
To clean the air filter, follow the steps below:
1
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord.
2
Remove the air filter cover while holding down
the air filter cover button on the filter cover.
3
Peel off the air filter. (The air filter is secured
with Velcro tape (3).)
4
Remove the dust from the filter with a vacuum
cleaner.
5
Install the air filter as shown in the figure. Install
the air filter cover on the projector.
Notes
• Just placing the air filter on the Velcro tapes will not
lock the air filter in place. When installing the air
filter, place it on the air filter cover and attach by
pressing down hard on the three Velcro tapes. Make
sure that the air filter is not bent.
• Set the air filter correctly (straight) in the air filter
cover. If the air filter is not straight, the filter may
malfunction.
• If the air filter is excessively dirty, wash it with a
mild detergent solution and dry it in a shaded place.
If the dust cannot be removed, replace the air filter
with the supplied new one.
• The air filter has front and back sides. Make sure
you install the air filter in the right direction. Check
the notch on the filter as shown in the figure above
and install properly.
• Be sure to attach the air filter cover firmly; the power
will not be turned on if it is not closed securely.
