How to Replace the Lamp in the SX7 / SX6 / SX60 / X700

Solution

Replacing the Lamp

When the time of use of the lamp exceeds 1,400 hours (1,800 hours or longer for SX7/X700, 2,300 hours or longer for SX60), the following message (two types) is displayed for 10 seconds each time the projector is turned on.

  • When the time of use is 1,400 to 1,500 hours:

1,800 to 2,000 hours for SX7/X700

2,400 to 2,500 hours for SX60

* [<], [>], the [OK] button, and the [POWER] button are available during this message is displayed.
  • When the time of use is 1,500 hours or longer:

2,000 hours or longer for SX7/X700

2,500 hours or longer for SX60

* The [POWER] button is available during this message is displayed.
  • This message will not be displayed again if you select [No] in response to the message "Do you want to display this message again?".
  • You can check the time of use of the lamp in [Lamp counter] in the [System settings] menu

Caution

  • When replacing the lamp, turn off the projector, wait until the cooling fan stops, remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and let the projector stand for at least 1 hour. Otherwise, you may get burned because the main unit is very hot immediately after the projector is turned off.
  • Do not touch the inner glass surface when you replace the lamp. Otherwise, the projector's performance may degrade.
  • Make sure to handle the lamp carefully and correctly since it may explode if it is scratched or shocked.
  • Do not remove screws unless specified.
