Keep your DLP projector in good shapeYour DLP projector will give you many hours of operation with a crisp, clear picture.

Here are some basic tips to keep your projector in top condition so it can continue to perform for you.

  • Read the manual. It’s filled with helpful tips on how to operate your projector.
  • Always – remove the lens cap and open the shitter when the projector has been turned on.
  • Use a power bar, surge protector or power stabilizer to prevent any electrical surges from ruining the projector. The projector is designed to operate between 100 to 240 volts AC.
  • Make the projector has plenty of room. Never block the projection lens vents with objects. This can cause the objects to melt or even catch fire since the projector operates under high heat.
  • Never cover it with a blanket or cloth when it’s operating. Never place the projector on a blanket or soft service, particularly one that can melt.
  • Make sure the projector is on stable table or stand. If the projector falls it could be badly damaged.
  • Always operate the projector on a level horizontal surface. If the projector is not fully horizontal this may cause damage to the lamp. Don’t tilt at more that an 10 degree angle left to right nor at an angle more than 15 degrees front to back.
  • Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls and a free flow of air around the projector.
  • Do not stand the projector on end vertically. It can fall over and damage the projector and cause injury
  • Use a proper kit to install the projector from the ceiling.
  • The heated air and slight odor from the projector is normal when it starts running.
  • Avoid looking into the projector lens when it’s in operation. The intense beam from the light can damage your eyes.
  • Keep the air filters clean of dust and debris. Since the lamp operates under high heat, there is an inside fan that cools off the projector. When the air filters and vents are blocked the projector can overheat and cause the lamp to explode.
  • If the lamp becomes extremely hot, the warning sign will come on. Consult your manual for the exact warning color and indicator. Allow it to cool for 45 minutes before operating it again.
  • Change the projector lamp immediately when it has reached end of life. You’ll see warning messages on screen and the Lamp Indicator will start blinking. Never operate with a lamp that is finished. This can damaged your projector beyond repair.
  • Always unplug the projector before replacing the lamp, cleaning the filters or replacing any other electronic components.
  • Remove only the lamp cover to replace the lamp. Do not attempt to take the cover off any other parts of the projector as you could come in contact with live electrical parts with dangerous high voltages. Take your projector into a qualified service repair technician for maintenance.
  • Do not store the projector where it will be subject to high temperatures above 40°C / 104°F, excessive humidity, dust or smoke, near fire alarms or in locations where the altitudes are higher than 3000 m (10000 feet). 12.

Seal_of_approval_from_Philip_authentic_projector _lamps

Only a few companies sell authentic projector lamps. Make sure you’re buying  from a recognized authorized dealer.

The Internet has been flooded with companies selling “generic” projector lamps. Many claim to be compatible with your projector. Only a few companies actually are selling OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) that are genuine.

It may be tempting to buy a cheaper generic replacement  but that may end up costing you more in the long run.

DLP lamps sophisticated technology

DLP Projectors use high pressure to generate light and this pressure needs to be controlled inside the lamp.  Authentic projector lamps have been calibrated to the exact wattage. Generic lamps have not designed to handle the subtleties in wattage and pressure. They give off either too much wattage so are prone to overheating and explosions. When generic lamps also give off too little pressure the result is low light and poor picture quality.

 

 

 Beware_generic_lamps_authentic_projector _lamps

Not all lamps are equal

The official brand lamp manufactured by Philips Lighting handles over 60% of the projector lamp market. They’ve spent millions of dollars creating a product that works with the sophisticated mechanism in various projector brands. These lamps are also created with the highest safety standards and with the correct materials. Generic lamps are usually thrown together in order to sell quickly.

Look for the seal of approval

When you purchase from an authorized manufacturer and dealer, you know you’re receiving a Philips bulb that is reliable, durable and safe. Philips gives select companies its Global Premium Partner status. This seal of approval guarantees that the company is selling high quality lamps guaranteed to deliver the best performance while protecting your health and your projector.

Generic brands sold through the Internet can’t offer this kind of guarantee, particularly those manufactured in China, where the standards are lower and regulations not as strict. Installing a cheaper brand may actually damage other sensitive components connected to your projectors operating system. You may also find your warranty has become void after installing these third-party parts.

The few dollars you save with generic “compatible” lamps is not worth it in the long run. Save yourself unnecessary headaches — buy a You’ll be getting a far superior product with a replacement guarantee and tech support.

 

6 good reasons to avoid generics

Protect yourself and ask for the Philips seal of approval before buying any projector lamps off the Internet.

Here are solutions to the six most common projector problems happening after installing a new projector lamp

Sometimes things don’t go as planned after installing a new projector lamp. Here  are the solutions to the six most common projector problems.

Problem #1: My projector won’t turn on after I’ve installed my new lamp.

Solution: Check the power cord, lamp cover and lamp connections.

Before contacting customer service, be sure to first check that the projector power cord is plugged in and properly secured. Check the back lamp cover – if it’s loose the projector won’t turn on.  If this doesn’t solve the problem, then open up the lamp cover and check the lamp connections. If the screws are too loose or too tight, the projector will not turn on.

Problem #2: My projector is getting too hot after replacing the lamp

Solution: Clean your air filters and ventilation holes.

The main reason a projector starts to heat up is because the air filters or ventilation holes are clogged with dust or other debris. DLP projectors operate at high heat and most have one or more fans that blow air around the components to cool them off. A build up of dust prevents proper air circulation and can cause the projector to become very hot and the lamp to explode. When this happens, the projector temperature controls will go off. Always clean your filters after replacing the projector lamp. Use a can of compressed air and blow filters and ventilation holes dust free.

Problem #3: The picture is fine but the onscreen message says to replace the lamp even though it’s new!

Solution: You need to reset the lamp timer.

Your projector has a Lamp Timer or Lamp Hour Counter that automatically tracks lamp usage. It’s been designed to send you warning messages on screen and to trigger the Lamp Indicator when the projector lamp is approaching end of life. Many projectors will turn off automatically when the end of lamp hours has been reached – whether the lamp is new or not. Always reset your lamp timer after replacing the lamp. Check out our lamp replacements guides or your projector manual for instructions.

Problem #4: The picture is much dimmer.

Solution: Re-install the new bulb or replace the generic lamp previously installed.

This problem usually only happens when you have replaced only the bulb and not the entire housing. Check to make sure the bulb has been installed correctly. Purchasing a bare bulb is an economical option but you have to make sure it’s been installed properly. It should be flush with the front of the lamp housing cage and the new bulb should sit exactly in the same placement as the old bulb. If the new bulb is off center or not aligned properly your image will be dim. Removing the bulb and re-installing it more carefully should take care of a dim picture.

Problem #5: Projector turns on for a minute and then shuts off.

Solution: Clean the fans and filters. Replace the generic lamp.

Projectors will turn themselves off automatically if they detect any problems. Cleaning the projector of all dust and dirt will make the components work together in harmony. If dust is not the problem, then it’s the actual lamp. Have you installed a genuine OEM projector lamp? Generic, compatible lamps don’t operate properly in most projectors causing them to out of balance. This will make the projector shut down automatically. The solution for this problem is to replace the generic lamp with a genuine OEM lamp.

Problem #6: The screen color is wrong and the picture is flickering.

Solution: Your color wheel may need to be replaced.

Usually the color is off with an older, dimmer lamp. However, since the projector lamp only has one color – white – the problem is usually with the internal optics. The color wheel or other optical components may have been damaged while the lamp was being replaced. Also installing generic lamps can damage the sophisticated and sensitive components such as the color wheel and DLP chip. The only solution for this problem is to contact a service rep.
