Replacing the Lamp
The Projection lamp, like all lamps, will eventually lose brightness and
functionality, which affects the overall performance of your Television. How
long the Lamp maintains its brightness will vary depending upon your usage
and environmental conditions. To maintain the quality of your viewing
experience, Sony recommends that you replace the Lamp (1) after
approximately 8,000 hours of use (the TV will display a message reminding
you to replace the lamp); (2) when the screen becomes dark or the color looks
unusual; or (3) when the LAMP indicator on the front of the TV flashes.
