SD-P50A5 Pioneer TV - No Video and Audio is 'chirpy'

one of your color tubes is out

Only time it will affect the screen is if you leave the game on one screen for a long time. You will not have "image burn-in". It takes a very long time for that to happen.

Yes, assuming you are using the included composite video / stereo audio cable with RCA jacks. The output would be 480i and the set would handle it the same as it would any other signal at the same resolution and refresh rate. If you mean damage to the front of the screen because of losing control of a remote, then it doesn't matter what model of TV you use. :p

sound's like bulb is going I have a complete set for your tv all set up all you need to do is bolt it in hook up the wires I saved them from my daughters tv when her audio viedo card burnt out $489.00 they want for the card to much money so I striped it I wish I would have saved the screen that's what I need but if you want the bulb set up ready to install you can have for $50.00 rocky

Hi, I am just curious. What is going on wih the Television? Thanks, Mike

Check your hori out put transistor if shorted replace NTE2973, this should be output number.if you need any more help let me know!

1) Pull chassis---remove power/convergence PCB==the one

with the large heatsink on it.

2) Remove solder from pins of four regulators on heatsink.

3)Clean board/pins w/ toothbrush & alcohol.

4)Re-solder, also solder both Stk's for prevent.

5)Re-assemble

do you have full picture and did this set have any faults before this,possible image burn on crts.from previous horizontal fault.

Check C258 Video Assy.

Your set will one day soon not come on at all. theres several capacitors on the PIP board if your set has PIP or the capacitors in the power supply. A good tech should know where to check as this set some say is hard to work on but i quess its like anything you work on for a bit gets easyer. Call an authorized repair center for pioneer. Good Luck
