Sanyo Z4 Bulb Replacement - easy ?

So I've finally taken the plunge and ordered a new bulb for my Sanyo Z4. It had been reminding me (via the orange light) to replace since just after Christmas.

Lamp Life = 2600 hours !

I presume lamp replacement is straight forward on these?

Over the past month or so I've noticed a little the wear and tear on the picture, but I'm hoping it will be like night and day once I replace the bulb - after all my eyes have gotten used to the picutre slowly as it has degraded.

Should do me now long enough until I stump up for a 1080p PJ at the end of 2009.

It is not difficult and the manual is quite clear.

Re: Sanyo Z4 Bulb Replacement - easy ?

I've replaced two already, it's a piece of cake, well, after taking it down from the ceiling anyway.. and don't forget to give the filters a clean (bash against an outside wall).

My PJ's okay, but it can't take running a bulb on "full" anymore -it's eco mode or nothing, it just shuts down otherwise.

I'm still very happy with it though, amazing bit of kit.
