Projection Lamp
On Contamination on the Screen Surface
s
Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. It is time to
replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied) when:
The screen surface has a special coating to reduce reflections. To prevent
screen damage, clean the screen as follows:
•
the message, “Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please
replace the lamp.” appeared on the screen,
s
s
Clean the screen with a soft cloth.
To remove hard contamination, use a cloth moistened with a
solution of mild soap and warm water. Do not spray cleaning
solution directly onto the TV. It should only be sprayed to moisten
the cleaning cloth.
•
•
•
the lamp replacement indicator on the front panel blinks in red,
screen images become dark,

s
s
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 51.)
s
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, acid cleaner,
scouring powder, chemical cloth, or solvent such as alcohol,
benzene or thinner, as these may scratch the screen’s coating.
When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop
sound. This is normal and is inherent in this type of lamp.

Notes on the TV
To enjoy clear picture
❑
Prevent sunlight or other light sources from shining directly onto the
screen.
❑
The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch, or tap it with
sharp or abrasive objects (see “On Contamination on the Screen
Surface” on page 6).
When not using the TV for a long period of time
❑
Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet if you anticipate not using
the TV for more than a week.
When turning off the power
❑
The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes. Allow
several minutes before unplugging from the outlet or switching the
breaker off.
On moisture condensation
❑
If your TV is moved directly from a cold to a warm location or is placed
in a humid room, or if the room temperature changes suddenly, the
picture may blur or show poor color. This is caused by moisture
condensation on the lenses inside. Wait a few hours to let the moisture
evaporate before turning on the TV. When the condensation has
evaporated, the picture will return to normal.

Screen
To minimize reflection, the screen surface has a special coating.
Inappropriate cleaning methods could damage the screen surface. Special
care is required.
Cleaning the Screen Surface
Dust and dirt on the screen can affect the picture quality. To dust off the
screen use a soft cloth. Be sure to follow the cleaning instruction on page 6
for stubborn stains and dirt.
Temporary Image Retention
When high contrast non-moving images such as station logos and channel
numbers are displayed for a long period of time, there may be some image
retention on the screen. This is only a temporary condition. Turning off the
power for a while or letting the TV run on another channel will eliminate the
Projection Lamp
Your TV uses a projection lamp as its light source. As with any lamp, it has a
lifespan and needs to be replaced when the LAMP LED blinks or the screen
becomes darker. Your TV also has a function to display a message
“Projection lamp is nearing end of life. Please replace the lamp.” to let you
know that the lamp has reached its expected lifespan. Note the following:
To replace the lamp, see
page 51.
❑
❑
❑
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-5200 replacement lamp (not supplied).
After the lamp is replaced, set the Lamp Replacement option in the
Setup settings (see page 47).
✍ Until you set the Lamp Replacement option, a message announcing
that the lamp is at the end of its life will appear every time you turn on
your TV.
✍ 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.

Replacing the Lamp
The projection lamp, like all lamps, will eventually lose brightness and
functionality, which affects the overall performance of your TV. 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; (2) when the screen becomes dark or the
color looks unusual; (3) when the LAMP LED on the front of the TV blinks;
or (4) when the lamp replacement message appears on the TV screen.
WARNING
Electric appliances can cause fire or high temperature, resulting in
injury or death. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
❑
❑
❑
Use a Sony XL-5200 replacement lamp (not supplied) for replacement.
Use of any other lamp may damage the TV.
Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Doing
so may cause injury or fire.
Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside the lamp
receptacle of the TV after removing the lamp. Doing so may cause fire
or electrical shock. Do not touch the lamp receptacle once the lamp has
been removed.
❑
❑
When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a noticeable pop
sound. This is normal and it is inherent to this type of lamp.
In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, but the lamp
unit is designed to contain all of the broken glass pieces inside the lamp
unit.
❑
This TV’s lamp contains mercury and should be disposed of properly.
Consult your local authorities regarding safe disposal. The material
contained in this lamp are similar to those of a fluorescent lamp, so you
should dispose of it in the same way.
How to Replace the
Lamp

2
Turn off the power on the main unit. Wait several minutes, then unplug
the power cord.
(The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes after
turning the power off.)
Wait at least 30 minutes after unplugging the power cord to allow the
lamp to cool down before replacing it. To avoid being burned, do not
touch the lamp receptacle once the lamp has been removed.
