The lamp used as a light source is a
consumable product. Thus, replace the

• "Please replace the Lamp." appears on the
screen
• The LAMP/COVER indicator flashes in
orange (Repetition rate of 3 flashes) (Refer
to page 14 for another possible cause.)
The lamp life varies depending on
conditions of use.
Use an LMP-M200 Projector Lamp as the
replacement lamp.
Use of any other lamps than the LMP-
M200 may cause damage to the projector.
Caution
The lamp remains not after the projector is turned

may burn your finger. When you replace the
lamp, wait for at least an hour for the lamp to
cool.

you touch the lamp, you may be burned or
