When you use a projector it automatically keeps a timer of how long the lamp has been used for. The message that comes up on screen saying "please replace the lamp" comes up not because it's some how sensing that the lamp is getting old, but because the lamp hours gets to a certain number (usually up around 1500 hours). Because of this when you replace the lamp you need to reset the lamp hours counter, or the projector doesn't even know you've changed it. Every projector does it this way, and they all do it a different way, I googled the model you gave us and found this set of instructions on how to do it, so give it a go.
Reset the lamp counter hours of operation for the projector SONY VPL-CX61 Using the remote commander while the unit is powered up, press "ENTER", "ENTER", "LEFT" and "ENTER" in sequence.

Just a quick couple of notes about your projector. It is a DLP projector (not LCD) and as such the machine as no air filters to clean. It does have air intake and air exhaust grilles, but no air filters to clean. This next part comes directly from the owner' manual for your projector:
When the lamp operation time exceeds 2000 hours*1 *2, the projector automatically shuts off and can’t be used until the lamp is replaced and the lamp operation time is reset.
Your machine is designed to give visual warning messages at 1500 hours used, and 1900 hours used. Did you see any visual warning about lamp life over the past few months?
If you were experiencing an overheating problem, a "TEMPERATURE!!" message would flash up on the screen just before the unit shuts down. If there is no warning, you don't have a heat problem.
If you have a replacement lamp available, install it and reset the lmap hours according to your user manual. If you don't have the manual, google it on the web (it available).
the projector will not know that u have replaced the lamp!u will have to tell it that a new lamp has been installed
to do this go to the menu & find reset lamp hours option & do a lampo reset.the lamp hours will reset to zero & then the replace lamp message will nt appear!
If you are using the RM-PJ2 remote control, following these instructions. You will have 5 seconds to complete the key sequence.
1. Make sure the Projector is in "Standby" mode. There will be a red light instead of green
2. Press the Reset button
3. On the "joystick" type button, toggle the left directional arrow
4. On the "joystick" type button, toggle the right directional arrow
5. Press down on the "joystick" button to press Enter.
6. Your lamp hours should now be reset.
Recap: Reset, left arrow, right arrow, Enter, all within 5 seconds.
The bulb replacement message is not triggered by bulb condition. It comes on after a given number of hours use. If you did not re-set the hours counter to zero when you replaced the lamp then you will get this message prematurely. Don't replace the lamp until it ceases to work correctly - colour balance wrong it it simply does not light.
