STEP 2: Installing the Sanyo L600-0068

Installing your new Sanyo L600-0068 is simple–just follow the steps listed below.

• Turn the projector off. Disconnect the AC cord. Allow it to cool down for at least 45 minutes. The inside of the projector gets extremely hot — don’t attempt to change the lamp with the projector running or you will burn yourself badly.
• The lamp cover is on the bottom. Turn the projector onto its side and remove the single screw holding the cover in place. Put the lamp cover to one side.
• Remove the two screws holding the lamp assembly in place. Grab the handle and pull out the used Sanyo L600-0068 projector lamp. Be sure to send the lamp to your local recycling program.
• DON’T throw this used Sanyo L600-0068 lamp into the garbage since it contains mercury and needs to be properly recycled.
• Take the new Sanyo L600-0068 lamp out of its box. Avoid touching the actual bulb since any fingerprints leave a black mark on the lamp when it heats up and give you black spots on your images. Using the handle, gently push the lamp into place.
• Tighten the two screws on the lamp assembly.
• Put the lamp cover back in place and tighten the single screw.
• Re-connect the AC cord.
• Reset the Lamp Replacement Monitor Timer following the steps below.

STEP 3: Resetting the Sanyo PLC-XP17 Lamp Replacement Monitor Timer

In order for the projector to properly track the life cycle of your Sanyo L600-0068 projector lamp you’ll need to reset the Lamp Replacement Monitor Timer.

NOTE: RESET the Lamp Replacement Monitor Timer ONLY WHEN the lamp has been REPLACED.

• Press the MENU Button to display the MAIN MENU.
• Press the POINT LEFT/RIGHT button and scroll right to select SETTING.
• Press the SELECT button to display the SETTING DISPLAY menu.
• Press the POINT DOWN button (a red arrow will appear).
• Move the red arrow to the LAMP AGE and then press the SELECT button.
• The message “Lamp Replace Monitor Reset?”  appears. Move the arrow down to YES and press the SELECT button.
• The message “OK?” appears. Click on YES.
• Move the arrow to QUIT and press the SELECT button.

The Lamp Replacement Monitor is now reset and will track the correct age of your newly installed lamp.
NOTE: DO NOT reset the Lamp Replacement Monitor Timer unless a new lamp has been installed. Otherwise, your projector will not be accurately tracking the lamp life and will extend the life of your current lamp beyond its safety limit.
