Lamp Handing Precautions  
Précautions à prendre pour la  
manipulation de la lampe  
DANGER  
This SHP uses a high voltage glass mercury vapor lamp. The lamp  
can break or fail to light if handled wrongly during replacement or  
because of the projector’s surrounding temperature.  
DANGER  
Ce SHP utilise une lampe à vapeur de mercure en verre à haute  
tension. Cette lampe peut se casser ou ne pas s'allumer si elle est  
manipulée incorrectement pendant son remplacement ou du fait de  
la température ambiante du projecteur.  
Lamp life also varies according to the lamp with some even breaking  
or failing to light as soon as they are used the first time. If the lamp  
breaks, glass fragments may be scattered inside the lamp unit and  
projector, and gas inside the lamp bulb that contains mercury vapor  
may be emitted from the projector’s vent.  
Before use, carefully read the projector user guide and the lamp  
replacement instructions. Remember to handle the lamp with care. In  
the event of serious trouble, call for Marantz authorized dealer.  
La durée de service d'une lampe varie aussi en fonction de la lampe,  
certaines se cassant ou ne s'allumant pas aussitôt qu'elles sont  
utilisées pour la première fois. Si la lampe se casse, des fragments  
de verre peuvent se répandre à l'intérieur de l'unité lampe et du  
projecteur, et le gaz à l'intérieur de l'ampoule de la lampe qui contient  
de la vapeur de mercure peut être émis par l'orifice du projecteur.  
Avant utilisation, lisez attentivement le guide de l'utilisateur du  
projecteur et les instructions de remplacement de la lampe. Pensez à  
manipuler la lampe avec précautions. En cas de problème sérieux,  
contactez un distributeur agréé Marantz.  
• Do not look directly into the lamp with bare eyes while lit. The  
bright light can cause sore eyes and impair vision.  
• Do not directly expose skin to the light of the lamp. Direct  
exposure can inflame the skin.  
• Do not drop, impact, subject to excessive force or otherwise  
damage the lamp.  
• Ne regardez pas directement la lampe sans protection pour les  
yeux pendant qu'elle est allumée. Sa lumière brillante peut faire  
mal aux yeux et affaiblir la vue.  
• Replacing the lamp runs the risk of burns and electric shock,  
therefore shut OFF power supply, unplug the AC power cord  
from AC power outlet and wait at least 60 minutes for the lamp to  
cool down before attempting to replace it.  
• N'exposez pas directement la peau à la lumière de la lampe. Une  
exposition directe peut provoquer une inflammation de la peau.  
• Ne laissez pas tomber la lampe, ne la heurtez pas, ne la soumettez  
pas à une force excessive ni ne l'endommager.  
• If the lamp breaks, unplug the AC power cord from AC power  
outlet and call for Marantz authorized dealer to replace it. Do not  
replace the lamp yourself or clean up broken glass inside the  
projector as this can result in cuts and burns to you or damages  
inside the projector.  
• Le remplacement de la lampe fait courir un risque de brûlure et de  
choc électrique ; il faut donc couper l'alimentation électrique,  
débrancher le cordon d'alimentation secteur de la prise secteur et  
attendre au moins 60 minutes que la lampe refroidisse avant  
d'essayer de la remplacer.  
• If the projector is hung from a ceiling or installed in a high place,  
it is extremely dangerous to replace the lamp. In this case, do not  
replace or handle the damaged lamp yourself.  
• Si la lampe se casse, débranchez le cordon d'alimentation  
secteur de la prise secteur et contactez un distributeur agréé  
Marantz pour qu'il la remplace. Ne remplacez pas la lampe vous-  
même ni ne nettoyez le verre brisé à l'intérieur du projecteur car  
vous pourriez vous couper et vous brûler ou endommager  
l'intérieur du projecteur.  
CAUTION  
• The chance of the lamp breaking is high after extended use. It is  
recommended to replace the lamp when near the end of its  
designed life. Do not use a lamp beyond the maximum lighting  
time.  
• Si le projecteur est accroché au plafond ou installé dans un  
endroit en hauteur, il est extrêmement dangereux de remplacer  
la lampe. Dans ce cas, ne remplacez ni ne manipulez vous-  
même la lampe endommagée.  
• Use only Marantz original lamp units. Check the model code of  
the lamp unit matches that in the user guide.  
• Before replacing the lamp, read carefully “Lamp Unit  
Replacement” in the user guide. Replace the lamp as explained  
therein.  
ATTENTION  
• Le risque que la lampe se casse est élevé après une utilisation  
prolongée. Il est recommandé de remplacer la lampe lorsqu'elle  
approche de sa durée de service spécifiée. N'utilisez pas une  
lampe au-delà du temps d'éclairage maximum.  
• Entrust disposal of a used lamp to a licensed industrial waste  
handler or return it to the place of purchase. Do not break the  
lamp or discard with general waste.  
• N'utilisez que des unités lampes d'origine Marantz. Vérifiez que le  
code de modèle de l'unité lampe correspond à celui indiqué dans  
le guide de l'utilisateur.  
• If the lamp breaks, leave the area immediately and stay away for  
at least 30 minutes, and ventilate the room so as not to inhale the  
mercury vapor.  
• Avant de remplacer la lampe, lisez attentivement "Remplacement  
de l'unité lampe" dans le guide de l'utilisateur. Remplacez la  
lampe conformément aux explications de cette section.  
• If you inhale the mercury vapor, see a physician immediately and  
follow his instructions.  
• Confiez la mise au rebut d'une lampe usée à un service de  
déchets industriels licencié ou retournez-la où vous l'avez  
achetée. Ne cassez pas la lampe ni ne la jetez avec les ordures  
ménagères.  
• Si la lampe se casse, sortez immédiatement de la zone pendant  
au moins 30 minutes, et aérez la pièce afin de ne pas inhaler la  
vapeur de mercure.  
• Si vous inhalez de la vapeur de mercure, consultez  
immédiatement un médecin et suivez ses instructions.

Precauciones para la manipulación  
de la lámpara  
Precauções para o manuseio da  
lâmpada  
PELIGRO  
CUIDADO  
Esta lámpara SHP de vidrio y de alto voltaje contiene vapor de  
mercurio. La lámpara puede romperse o no encenderse si es  
manipulada incorrectamente durante el recambio o debido a la  
temperatura ambiente del proyector.  
Esta lâmpada SHP é uma lâmpada feita de vidro que contém vapor  
de mercúrio a alta pressão. A lâmpada pode quebrar ou não acender  
caso seja manuseada incorrectamente durante a substituição ou  
devido à temperatura ambiente onde se encontra o projector.  
A vida útil da lâmpada também varia conforme a lâmpada, com  
casos de quebra ou falha em acender na primeira vez que a  
lâmpada é utilizada. Se a lâmpada quebrar, estilhaços de vidro  
podem cair dentro do compartimento da lâmpada e do projector, e o  
gás de dentro da lâmpada que contém vapor de mercúrio poderá ser  
emitido através da saída do projector.  
La vida útil también varía según las lámparas, algunas de las cuales  
se rompen o no se encienden al cabo del primer uso. Si la lámpara  
se rompe, los fragmentos de cristal se pueden desparramar por el  
interior de la unidad de la lámpara y del proyector, y el gas con vapor  
de mercurio contenido en la bombilla se puede escapar a través del  
sistema de ventilación del proyector.  
Antes de usar el aparato, lea con cuidado la guía de usuario del  
proyector y las instrucciones de recambio de la lámpara. No olvide  
manipular con cuidado la lámpara. En caso de producirse problemas  
serios, avise a un distribuidor autorizado de Marantz.  
Antes de o utilizar, leia cuidadosamente o guia do utilizador do  
projector bem como as instruções para substituição da lâmpada.  
Lembre-se de manusear a lâmpada com cuidado. No caso de  
problemas, entre em contacto com o representante autorizado da

Caution Concerning the Setup of the  
Projector  
For minimal servicing and to maintain high image quality, avoid humidity,  
dust and cigarette smoke.  
When the projector is subjected to these environments,the lens and  
part of ventilation holes must be cleaned more often than usual. As long  
as the projector is properly maintained in this manner, use in these  
environments will not reduce the overall operation life. Please note that  
all internal cleaning must be performed by an Marantz Authorized  
Dealer, or Service Center.  
95˚F  
(+35˚C)  
41˚F  
(+5˚C)  
• Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold.  
Operating temperature:41 °F to 95 °F (+5 °C to 35 °C)  
Storage temperature:–4 °F to 140 °F (–20 °C to +60 °C)  
Notes on Operation  
• The exhaust ventilative hole, the lamp cage cover and adjacent  
areas may get extremely hot during projector operation. To  
prevent injury,do not touch these areas until they have sufficiently  
cooled down.  
• Allow at least 1 foot (30 cm)of space between the exhaust  
ventilative hole and the nearest wall or obstruction.  
• If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will  
automatically turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a  
malfunction. Remove the projector power cord from the wall outlet  
and wait at least 10 minutes.  
Then turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in. This  
will return the projector to the normal operating condition.

Note: Pixel defects  
Note: Lamp  
DMDTM (Digital Micromirror DeviceTM) is one of the most  
advanced technologies for consumer products. The DMDTM  
made by high precision technology, however some pixel  
defects may be found on the projected image. We are  
trying our best to control the quality in order to reduce the  
number of defective pixels. It is almost impossible to have  
zero pixel defects, even using the most advanced  
technology. This is not a problem only for Marantz, but all  
DLPTM projector manufactures. Therefore we have to note  
that the warranty does not cover the DMDTM for pixel  
defects. We appreciate your understandings.  
SHP lamp is one of the most advanced technologies for  
consumer products. The lamp made by high precision  
technology, however some lamps might be failing before it  
reaches its life. And projectors brightness is getting darker  
along with accumulated lamp usage hours. We are trying  
our best to control the quality in order to reduce lamp  
failures. It is almost impossible to have zero failure, even  
using the most advanced technology. This is not a problem  
only for Marantz, but all projector manufactures. Therefore  
we have to note that the warranty does not cover the SHP  
lamp for lamp failures: explosion, and non-lighting except  
initial use. And also we have to note that the warranty does  
not cover the SHP lamp for lamp failures: flickering, and  
getting darker along with accumulated lamp usage hours.  
We appreciate your understandings.
