I found the directions on how to reset the timer. 1. Press MENU 2. Select the OPTION Menu 3. Select LAMP Runtime 4. Press and hold enter till the confirmation screen pops. But I cannot get ride of the LAMP time error, no matter what I press the error that it will shut down in 5 minutes will not go away, and the menu will not come up.
How long ago did you replace the lamp?
If the lamp has not actually been replaced and you are attempting to bypass this safety feature then I have bad news for you. Once the projector determines current flow through the lamp has exceeded the threshold amount, it will put the projector into the mode it is in now - Critical Lamp Replacement. You can set the projector bulb to low power output and see if that allows you to reset the bulb life timer but, again, if you have not actually replaced the bulb assembly, you are in danger of the bulb bursting under pressure. This can actually damage the projector.
You can find the manual for your projector at

3 Select "Yes." You will receive a message onscreen saying, "Lamp Timer Reset Complete!" Select "Yes" again, and press the "Enter" button to finish.
