Projection lamp
• Your LCD projection TV uses a projection lamp as its
light source. It is time to replace the lamp with a new one
(not supplied) when:
– the lamp replacement indicator on the front panel blinks
in red,
– screen images become dark,
– no image appears on the display after prolonged use.
• In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit,
but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of broken glass
pieces inside the lamp unit. (See “Replacing the lamp” on
page 48.)
• When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a
noticeable pop sound. This is normal and is inherent in this
type of lamp.
• This television’s lamp contains mercury and should be
disposed of properly. Consult your local authorities
regarding safe disposal. If the lamp is broken during use,
a small amount of mercury may be released. In this
situation, move away from the product and ventilate the
area. In case of accidental contact or inhalation, or if you
feel unwell, consult a physician promptly.
Cooling fan
This LCD projection TV uses a cooling fan. You may hear
some fan noise (depending on the placement of the LCD
projection TV), which may be more noticeable during the
night, or when ambient noise is particularly low.

Projection Lamp
Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. As
with any lamp, it has lifespan and needs to be replaced
when the lamp indicator flashes or the screen becomes
darker.
Notes
After turning on your TV, it may take a while (1 minute or
less) before the picture appears.
When the projection lamp wears out, the screen goes dark.
Replace the lamp with a new Sony XL-2400 replacement
lamp (not supplied). How to replace the lamp, see page 48.
Warning
The light emitted from the lamp is quite bright when your TV
is in use. To avoid eye discomfort or injury, do not look into
the light housing when the power is on.
