Sanyo PLC XU33 Multimedia Projector Logo

Sanyo PLC-XU33 image displayed for 10 seconds then turns off

Sanyo PLC-XU33 first has a green ready light and a bright red lamp light. Pressing the on/off button dims the red lamp light and the projector lamp comes on and goes through the 30 second count down. The projector first blanks for a second and then displays the image for about 10 seconds. Then the lamp turns off, the ready light turns off and the red lamp light gets bright. The unit goes through the 90 second cool down period and the ready light comes on again. No other lights come on, no warning light. Turning the unit back on repeats the same sequence of events.

When the image is diplayed for the 10 seconds I can access the menus, very briefly. It is very hard to view the configuration because the lamp turns off after 10 seconds.

Here are some things I tried that did not have any effect

* cleaned the filter
* removed the top cover and blew out all the dust
* removed lamp and checked for damage, dust build up or air flow blockage. Lamp appears to be in good shape.
* blew air through the unit while running using air compressor to rule out a bad fan
* pressed the reset button during power up to reset processor. Not exacty sure on the reset sequence.

Doesn't look like a heat problem and the warning light does not come on. Is there any way to perform a factory reset on this projector? Is there any way to connect up a serial port and get more diagnostic data?

Any help would be appreciated.

Its due to the complaint of the power ballast unit. Pls check your old lamp with another unit. It will work. For its repair below 4k. So immediately contact any one of the service centre in your area

I have a model PLC-XT11 and when I turn the power on the temp light and green ready light begin to flash. The red lamp light is on steady. I replace the lamp but no luck.

one or more of the fans may not be working right. also, the temp sensor may be shot. if the last time you used it it wasn't shut down properly, it may still be in cool-down mode.

Lamp comes on, but goes off after 30 sec-1min

Sounds like it is overheating. The light must be green when turned on. If the light is red it needs to cool before proceeding.

Sanyo Pro xtra projector - warning light

We have a similar situation with our Sanyo Pro Xtrax. It will be on for about a hour and then the "warning temp" light would come flashing red, and the project would turn off on its own.
