ELPLP56  lamp replacing and time  

After you have replaced the ELPLP56 lamp, initialize the lamp hour settings. The accumulated lamp 

operating time is cleared.

• In order to maintain the initial brightness and image quality, the lamp replacement message is displayed after about 

3900 hours of use has passed. The time at which this message is displayed will vary depending on the color mode 

settings and the conditions under which this unit has been used.

• If you continue to use the  ELPLP56 lamp after thisperiod, the possibility of the lamp breaking becomes greater. When the lamp 

replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.

• Do not turn the projector on immediately after turning it off. Turning the projector on and off frequently may shorten 

the life of the  ELPLP56 lamp.

• Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop 

working before the lamp warning messageappears. You should always have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.

After the lamp has been replaced, make sure you initialize the Lamp Hours 

setting.

The unit has a built-in counter that keeps track of the lamp operating time and 

the lamp replacement message is displayed based on this counter.
