I get no message on the screen. For some unknown reason the projector will just shut off in the middle of a movie. I can hear the fan working when the projector is running. Filter was replaced recently. I get no clue from the troubleshooting seciton of the manual, and there is no mention of an automatic shutdown circuit. I am guessing that this might be some sort of thermal shutdown, but the projector does not feel overheated when it turns off. What else could be causing this?
There is a heat sensor cutting down the power. The sensor is located on the upper side between lamp and fan and is monitoring the air temperatur. I don't know what is causing the sensor to switch - excessive heat or simply age or ... . Anyway un screwed this sensor and my problem disappeared.
Possibly a stronger fan would solve the problem too.

same problem, shuts down, wait a few minutes then is ok, thought maybe might be side cover, when comes back on pic is great
Same problem here. I have recently changed the setting for the lamp to low and noticed that the problem seemed to go away. That is until I watch something in HD. If someone figures this out it would be greatly appreciated if they could post the solution.
I just changed my bulb and the projector shuts down as well. The last bulb lasted me two years with no problems. If the problem persist I will check and see if the two wires to the bulb needs tightening? That may be the problem. If it works I'll let everyone know. I never had any problem with it till now.
Same problem.
I have the same problem. Any solutions?
Same problem any solutions. I just cleaned the filter.
My VPL-HS20 has worked flawlessly since I bought it new years ago. Tonight, it shut completely off in the middle of a blue-ray movie, too, as others have described; no fans, nothing, no warning messages first, just an abrupt complete lack of power. Unplugging the unit, waiting a few minutes, then pressing the power button brought it back to life long enough to finish the movie, but then it happened again. The original bulb is in it, and I'm on the second air filter. Both may be due for changing, but as I said, there have been no error messages and the picture still looks great. The fans always run during a "cooling down" period when powering off.. it's really wierd to have the whole thing shut down completely w/ no warning. Ideas?
Same problem... Shutdown...
Good Evening,
We have a ceiling mounted VPL-HS20 that randomly turns itself off. It may happen after 30 minutes or NOT happen even after 3 hours. Very odd. Any help would be soooooo appreciated! Thank you!!
