STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR SANYO PLC-SU22 LAMP REPLACEMENT
When it’s time to change your lamp on your Sanyo PLC-SU22 projector, you’ll notice the yellow light blinking on the Lamp Indicator found on the top control panel.
You’ll need a Sanyo POA-LMP21 (service parts no 610 290 6939) lamp as a replacement.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Be sure to buy an authentic Sanyo POA-LMP21 (service parts no 610 290 6939) lamp bought from a verified source. These genuine lamps have manufactured to meet the specifications of the PLC-XE40/PLC-XE45 projector. Resist the temptation to buy a cheaper POALMP21 as these generic lamps often use counterfeit parts that can damage the sensitive mechanisms in your Sanyo PLC-SU22 projector.
REPLACING THE SANYO POA-LMP 21 LAMP
- The lamp cover for the Sanyo PLC-SU22 is located at the bottom of the projector. Gently turn over the projector onto its side and loosen the screw holding the cover in place. Place the cover to one side.
- Loosen both screws holding the Sanyo POA-LMP21 (610 290 6939) lamp cage in place. Grab the lamp handle and gently lift the lamp out of its socket. Place to one side. Be sure to dispose of the lamp properly through a local recycling program.
- Take the new Sanyo POA-LMP21 (6102906939) lamp cage by the handle—avoid touching the actual bulb as this can break or damage the lamp. Without forcing the lamp, place it into the slot.
- Once the lamp is in, tighten both screws on the Sanyo POA-LMP21 (service parts no 610 290 6939) Lamp Assembly. Make sure the screws have been tightened properly or the Sanyo PLC-SU22 projector will not turn on.
- Replace the Lamp Cover and tighten the screw. Re-connect the power cord and turn on the Sanyo PLC-SU22 projector. If the Sanyo POA-LMP21 (610 290 6939) lamp does not turn on after the warm-up period, try re-installing the lamp.
- Reset the Lamp Counter Screen by following the instructions below.
