• The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high

internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or
fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use. The length of
time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies
greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage
conditions.

• The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.
• The lamp, LCD panel, polarising plate, and polarising beam splitter

(PBS) are consumable parts. These parts may need to be replaced
during the guarantee period if the projector is used for six or
more hours per day.

• The replacement cycle of the LCD panel, polarising plate, and

polarising beam splitter (PBS) will be shortened if the projector is
subjected to continuous use for six or more hours. Likewise, the
replacement cycle of the lamp will be shortened if the power is
frequently turned on and off or the projector is subjected to con-
tinuous use for 10 or more hours.

• Interruptions may occur in the wireless connection due to signal

interference or PC conditions.

*2: Legs and protruding parts not included.
*3: Operation range differs depending on the environment.
*4: For the PT-LB60NTEA and PT-LB55NTEA only.
