Hello

 

This bizzarre behaviour is the lamp, its reflector goes high resistance this causes the set to draw more current which trips the set the lamp cools and the cycle is repeated

Here is the manual to download which on page 39 explains how to replace the lamp

 

Here is where to purchase the lamp I would recommend the sony original but its your call here as their is a cheaper replacement

If the lamp is overheating why does this not signal on the set as the manual indicates?

Expert:  Anthony_Infotech replied 3 years ago.

Hello

 

Sorry for delay had a work commitment

 

Good question!

It doesnt because the sensor for the lamp is not reading it as being faulty it will only do this if the lamp fails altogether or sometimes when the lamp has well exceeded its lamp hours

 

Also outside of this the lamp has a life of about 2 years of normal use and should not be left any longer than this as its exceeding its life envelope and could damage the light engine

 

Many Thanks

Anthony
