Hello
Press the MENU button on the projector's control panel to display menu options.Press UP/DOWN button to reach the RESET option window. There you can see Clear Lamp Hours and Clear Filter Hours option. Select the Clear Lamp Hour option and press enter. That is all. OK.

With out knowing the state of the power LED, my best guess is the Status light is solid red and telling you to purchase a replacement lamp before the current one dies. Attached is a chart that will show you the errors possible depending on the LED statuses:

~ Check the lamp hours ~ Normally it is 200-400 hours lamp life ~ BASIC USAGE: 8 hours/day ~ Reseat the lamp~ Consider replacing the lamp or it could be an Internal Problem

Not a good idea. It is better to just use a tab for the new installation. Hourly usage is not an exact science and the lamp life is approximated based upon tests. The true life of the system with the tab of the time and date of replacement is much better suited for a technician...

if the power light blinks and the status light is off, check the lamp door. if the power light blinks and the status light is steady red or blinking green, you have a power supply/ballast issue. you may have to send it in for repair. try www.avsolutionsny.com.

The XL8U will tell you when the lamp needs replacement. There is a yellow box that will appear telling you so. The lamp is easy to replace, the model number is VLT-XL8LP.

Hi Ash, check your manual as by memory you can do this by a 2-3 button reset via the remote control. Regards Kevin Andreassend. http://www.iceav.co.nz [email protected] +64-9-4142348

On the Control Panel, if you press the up-arrow, enter, and down-arrow buttons at the same time you get the usage screen. The hard part is selecting the three buttons at the same time. It takes me multiple tries to get the combination correctly.

Hi Bob

This most definitelly NOT the lamp.

It is unfortunatelly your Mainboard that is at fault , and will either need repair or replacement as this will only get worse as time passes.

Hope this is of help !
