Menu display help..

First I would try pressing the DISPLAY button on your remote which controls the display and if that is not it, it's probably the flex cable. These cables go bad after a while and needs to be replaced. you may also contact Pioneer to see if there is a recall on this part as they may pay for it, otherwise you can purchase it on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com/PIONEER-AVH-P7480DVD-AVX-P7300DVD-FLEX-RIBBON-CABLE-/120529728036

The manual on Page 10 says that with these modes (DVD,CD,MD,CDR,HDD) on the Remote you can control an Onkyo DVD player and CD/MD/CDR/HDD player/recorder.

well, maybe u don't have the original control the original one is (CD-R11) and if u do the volume key is located on the side. (rigth side)

i have the same unit and when i bought it, the thing that caught my eye 1st was 30,000 hours of use. mine has been back to pioneer usa 3 times thus far. and that was one of the things that was fixed. fortunately, that was under the extended warranty that i purchased.

everything is controlled for the radio by the little remote. the top right has a source button. press that button a couple of times and watch the screen as you do.

hi yes you will need the brain. the tuner is in that.
sorry

Hi, in the menu check that the output is set correctly for dvd playback. ie not through the preout for an amp. It is possible for the unit to be set up to play surround sound for dvd's. Worth a try?

might be the ribbon going out mine did the same till it eventually completely tore, had to order new calbe from pionner to repair

Sounds to be defective. All white is not normal under any conditions.
