    Pioneer PDP-R05G media receiver always starts in standby mode

    Hi,
    I have a Pioneer Plasma and PDP-R06G Media receiver. When I power on Plasma TV with everything disconnected except the power cable, it starts flashing alternate red and green rectangle boxes on the screen which seems normal to me as no system cable is yet connected to it. But when the black system cable is connected to the media receiver ( media receiver not yet powered on), Plasma goes into standby mode with the red standby led constantly on and nothing is displayed on the screen. Now, if media receiver is powered on, it starts with standby led glowing and the fan at the back of the receiver stops after about 5- 7 sec. If I try to display the menu using button on the remote control, nothing is displayed on the screen. I tried to unsuccessfully factory reset the system. What can be the issue? Is it to do with the media receiver or the TV?

    Thanks.

      Try testing the tv with a different video/audio source. If the TV works fine, it is the receiver that has an issue.

          Yes. TV is working fine when different source is used. So, the issue is with the receiver. Now, what can go wrong with the receiver? How can I diagnose the problem? Is it something to do with power supply board?

          Thanks.

              hi if it was me i would try doing a hard reset of the media box to put it back into default settings and try that for a few days you may have to download a user manual or look on line how to do this.

                  No, it still could be the TV. You need to test the same input on the TV that the receiver is hooked up to, not other inputs!

                      As I said in my earlier reply, I tried to hard reset it but did not succeed as remote control is not working when TV is connected to the receiver. Only the power button on the remote is functioning. If there is any other method to hard reset it, I would be more than happy to have a go at it.

                      I borrowed the same type of receiver from a friend of mine and worked fine using the same inputs as you directed to do. Can the issue be still with the TV?

                      Thanks.

                          I doubt it. I am 95% sure the receiver is the issue.

                              Ok. So, what can go wrong with the receiver? The receiver powers on in standby mode (both the green and the red led glow simultaneously) and the cooling fan stops within 10 sec of starting the receiver. Can the issue be with the power supply PCB? Or is it something else?

                              Thanks.

                                  It can be the power supply, check ACSen what voltage it goes out

                                      I think it's normal for the fan to come on for a few seconds, it did on my kenwood. Then it will come back on if the temp rises above a ceartain point. Are you using HDMI inputs/outputs?

                                          But you can check voltage from relay after fan shut down, if it goes out power board self protect.

                                              Actually on that model media receiver the fan should run as long as its plugged in. It runs if it is powered up or in standby.
                                              Did I leave the soldering iron on?

                                                  Pioneer VSX-44 receiver HDMI dropouts
                                                  by RatherLoopy
                                                  I have an older Pioneer receiver (VSX-44) that's been dropping the HDMI output (black screen) for a few seconds every few minutes. Setup is HTPC -> Pioneer DVD HCMI in -> Pioneer HDMI out -> Samsung TV HDMI in, all with cheap HDMI cables that have never caused trouble before..

                                                  I initially found a lot of play in the receiver's HDMI inputs and output so I kind of squeezed them back into shape and they're making a tighter connection, but the problem persists.

                                                  And also, often, the HDMI will drop out in exactly the same way (black screen) just as my central air...

                                                  This is my first attempt at troubleshooting a board like this, I know I could just buy a new board but I'm curious to figure out how this works. I've been testing different components in the evenings this week and I think the problem is with the IC failing to start up for some reason. When the board is plugged in there is no standby voltage.

                                                  Then today it randomly sprung to life like a zombie but shortly died thereafter. I have no idea why it would have done that and its the first time I've seen it running. I discharged capacitors on the board last night, then it was sitting today....

                                                  Have a colleagues Pioneer VSX-3300, it wont power on, hasnt for a number of years, but just now trying to figure out what's going on with it.

                                                  It has 120V input and I have followed that 120V to a small board that appears to have a small transformer and a relay among a few other components I dont think the relay is changing state which I believe turns on the receiver, but this is all speculation.....

                                                  I have downloaded the repair guide, which I have attached to this post, but I am having a hard time following it.... Can someone please offer any advice on what to check?...

                                                  Vizio D50u-D1 Dead Set No Standby
                                                  by fharris1977
                                                  Hi. I got a Vizio with no power or standby, and won't turn on with remote or button. I checked the voltages on the connector and all read 0.00V or nearly 0(0.050 ON/OFF pin). None of the pins are labeled STB for standby although I do see some 5V pins. Other than the obvious standby led, which isn't coming on, is there a way to check for standby voltage on this PS. I'm trying to see if my problem is the PS or mainboard. Some Vizios I have fixed with no standby led me to think it was the PS but it turned out being the mainboard. Any experience with this set would be greatly appreciated.
