how to install Sony 120W UHP Lamp

• Power off the projector and unplug it from any power source. Allow the unit to cool completely before handling to avoid burns or damage to sensitive components.
• Open the lamp compartment cover according to your projector’s user manual. Remove the screws or latches securing the existing lamp module, and carefully detach the old lamp from its socket and housing.
• Handle the new Sony 120W UHP lamp module by its outer housing only. Align the lamp with the connector and seating pins, then gently insert it into the projector’s lamp housing until it seats firmly and the connector is fully engaged.
• Reseat any clips, reattach the lamp cover, and reinstall screws or latches securely. Double-check that the lamp module is seated evenly and there are no obstructions in the lamp chamber.
• Power on the projector and reset the lamp usage counter if your device requires it. Run a quick test pattern or a standard presentation to confirm consistent brightness, color accuracy, and a flicker-free image. If you notice any flicker or dim output, power down and re-seat the lamp to ensure proper seating.
• Dispose of the old lamp safely in accordance with local regulations. If your projector has a lamp timing or error reporting feature, monitor for any lamp-related warnings and address them promptly.
