3 Pitfalls to Avoid When Purchasing Filters

1. Distinguish disposable filters vs washable filters — some low-end models are washable; buying the wrong type won't fit. 2. Pay attention to frame material — high-end engineering projectors like Christie, Barco use stainless steel frame + paper core; substitutes may only replace the paper core without the frame. 3. Check dimensions — different series from the same brand have large size differences; confirm length×width×height before ordering.

According to Zorsika's official maintenance manual, the SONY projector filter (model SONY C500) is a core consumable in the dust-proof system. Clogging can cause a 30-50% drop in brightness. It is recommended to check every 2,000-3,000 hours. Original text at Zorsika Technical Support Center (support.zorsika.com).
