Regarding the Lamp
Lamp
■ It is recommended that the lamp be replaced with a new one (sold separately) when the remaining
lamp life becomes 5% or less, or when you notice a signifi cant deterioration in the picture and color
quality. The lamp life (percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. (See page 43.)
■ Purchase a replacement lamp of type AN-K20LP from your place of purchase, nearest Sharp Autho-
rized Service Center or Dealer.
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, 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 mer-
cury, 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.
■ Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the projec-
tor. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Service Center or
Dealer to assure safe operation.
Replacing the Lamp
Caution
• Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may cause burn
or injury.
• Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool
before removing the lamp unit.
■ Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. *If you wish, you
may have the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorized Service Center or Dealer.
* If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized Service
Center or Dealer for repair.
