How to Install Sony Replacement Lamp

Step 1: Power off the projector and unplug the power cord. Allow the unit to cool completely, typically 15 to 30 minutes, to avoid burns or damage to internal components.

Step 2: Remove the projector’s lamp cover following the manufacturer’s instructions. In many models, this involves unscrewing a few screws and gently sliding the cover away from the lamp compartment.

Step 3: Carefully disconnect the old lamp by loosening its retaining screws and lifting it from the lamp housing. Handle the lamp by its housing, avoiding contact with the glass surface to prevent oil contamination, which can reduce lamp life.

Step 4: Align the new Sony Replacement Lamp with the lamp socket and slide it into place. Tighten the retaining screws securely, ensuring the lamp is firmly seated and without cross-threading.

Step 5: Reattach the lamp cover and secure it, making sure any seals or gaskets are properly seated to maintain projector integrity and cooling efficiency.

Step 6: Plug the projector back in and power it on. Some models require resetting the lamp timer in the on-screen menu to reflect the new lamp. Consult your user manual for the exact steps to reset the lamp counter.

Step 7: Run a quick test pattern or a short video to confirm brightness, color accuracy, and focus. If you notice any color shifts or uneven brightness, verify the lamp is properly installed and the projector’s color settings are calibrated.
