Calculation of lamp hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (by hours) of lamp usage is automatically
calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as
follows:
Total (equivalent) lamp hour = hours used in Economic mode + hours used in normal
mode
See "Economic Mode (Off)" on page 35 for more information on Economic mode.
The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 2/3 of that in normal mode. That is, using
the projector in Economic mode helps to extend the lamp hour by 1/3.

When the LAMP indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace
the lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a
malfunction in the projector and in some instances the lamp may explode.
For more detailed information on projector warnings, please refer to"Indicators" on page 41.
