Possible Solution

• Check if you pressed TV on the remote control unit. (See page 32.)
If the indicator on the system lights up red, press TV .
• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 63.)
• Check the power control setting. (See page 67.)
• The system's internal temperature has increased. Clean the vents, or remove any blocking objects.
(See page 20.)
• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation.
In this case, operate the system after first turning the power of the Plasma Display, or unplugging the power
cord and re-plugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.
• Check if POWER is off. Turn the button on when the POWER ON and STANDBY indicators are off.
• Is the Mode switch set correctly? Slide it to the TV position. (See page 19.)
• Are batteries inserted with polarity aligned (+, –)? (See page 30.)
• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.) (See page 30.)
• Operate the remote control unit while pointing it toward the remote control sensor on the Plasma Display.
(See page 30.)
• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?
• Is a fluorescent light illuminating the remote control sensor?
• Internal protective circuits may have been activated.
First turn the main power off by removing the AC power cord from the power outlet, and then turn the power
on again in after one minute or more. If the problem is not solved with this, contact the nearest Pioneer
Authorized Independent Service Company, or the Customer Support Division (see back cover).
• Check if the input source for video or PC has been unintentionally selected although you want to watch a TV
channel. (See page 33.)

only audio is output. To restore the screen display, press any button other than VOL +/– and MUTING. (See
page 67.)
