Sony VPL-EX1 Multimedia Projector - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Sony Care is the better choice!

Hi David

I think you should replace the lamp.

Go to MENU, INSTALL, and then use FLIP to reset the projected image to match with your installation.

the filter cover sometimes gets distorted and the small plastic dimple which presses against the switch doesnt activate correctly, check the lamp cover switch also.

When you open the lamp cover for replacement of lamp there is a switch in the projector is OFF
If lamp cover not fix proper after replacement of lamp the lamp/cover indicator flashing
SOLUTION: Open the lamp cover and fix proper and tight the screw

Possible that the lamp is faulty -if the hours have elapsed- check the lamp holder, the fitments.
check also the filters, clean and reset.
Make sure the power supply Unit is not having any poor soldering or faulty components to reduce the voltage output to the lamp thus making it shut down..

1.unplug power cord
2.plug back in and it should be in stand by mode.(red light on)
3.do not power on
4.on remote push RESET,LEFT ARROW,RIGHT ARROW AND ENTER(do it in less than 5 seconds)
5.after you have done this power on and go to menu and it should show lamp hours 0
6.if it didn't work just do it again, it took me a couple of tries.

If you are using the RM-PJ2 remote control, following these instructions. You will have 5 seconds to complete the key sequence.

1. Make sure the Projector is in "Standby" mode. There will be a red light instead of green
2. Press the Reset button
3. On the "joystick" type button, toggle the left directional arrow
4. On the "joystick" type button, toggle the right directional arrow
5. Press down on the "joystick" button to press Enter.
6. Your lamp hours should now be reset.

Recap: Reset, left arrow, right arrow, Enter, all within 5 seconds.

Good luck!

If you have user manual go to page no 27 and follow the instruction

Try replacing the lamp cover with a new one, if that does'nt work then it could be the sencor for the lamp cover, and if that does'nt work then contact your sony dealer and see what they can do.

I have had the same problem with 3 Sony VPL-EX1s and Sony will not answer emails regarding the problem. Hence I wont be purchasing Sony projectors again.

Hi guys

Firstly you need the remote to reset the lamp timer.

Hold down the left and right scroll buttons on the remote and press menu. That will reset your lamp timer.
