The Projection lamp, like all lamps, will eventually 
lose brightness and functionality which affects the 
overall performance of your TV. How long the Lamp 
maintains its brightness will vary depending upon 
your usage and environmental conditions. To 
maintain the quality of your viewing experience, Sony 
recommends that you replace the Lamp (1) when the 
screen becomes dark or the colour looks unusual; (2) 
when 

 on the front of the TV flashes; or (3) after 

approximately 8,000 hours of use.

WARNING
Electric appliances can cause fire or high temperature, 
resulting in injury or death. Be sure to follow the 
instructions below.

• Use a Sony XL-5200 (for KDS-55A2000) or XL-5300 

(for KDS-70R2000) replacement lamp (not supplied) for 
replacement. Use of any other lamp may damage the TV.

• Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than 

replacement. Doing so may cause injury or fire.

• Do not put flammable materials and metal objects inside 

the lamp receptacle of the TV after removing the lamp. 
Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock. Do not touch 
the lamp receptacle once the lamp has been removed.

• When the lamp eventually burns out, you may hear a 

noticeable “pop” sound. This is normal and it is inherent 
to this type of lamp.

• In rare instances, the bulb may pop inside the lamp unit, 

but the lamp unit is designed to contain all of the broken 
glass pieces inside the lamp unit.

• This TV’s lamp contains mercury and should be disposed 

of properly. Consult your local authorities regarding safe 
disposal. The material contained in this lamp are similar to 
those of a fluorescent lamp, so you should dispose of it in 
the same way.

Switch off the TV. Wait several minutes, 
then unplug the mains lead.
(The cooling fan will continue to operate for 
about two minutes after switching the TV 
off.)

Wait at least 30 minutes after unplugging 
the mains lead to allow the lamp to cool 
down before replacing it. To avoid being 
burned, do not touch the lamp receptacle 
once the lamp has been removed.

Take the new lamp out of its package.
Do not touch the glass portion of the new 
lamp.

• Do not shake the lamp. Vibration can damage the 

lamp or shorten its life.

• Avoid touching the front glass of a new lamp or the 

glass of the lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture 
quality or lamp life.

Remove the outside lamp cover.

Remove the lamp door.
Turn the screw counterclockwise. Then 
slide the lever to the left (KDS-55A2000) or 
turn the knob to the left (KDS-70R2000). 
Remove the door.
