FLASH SUM LCD Display error on Pioneer DV-414 DVD player

I have a Pioneer DV-414 DVD player. I have had it for 8 years. Lately, when I turn it on, the LCD display on the front of the player keeps flashing "FLASH SUM" causing the machine not to function at all. Does anyone know what the problem may be and is it easily fixable?

    Hey, dvdmoviefan...I have the same problem! Pioneer DV-414 (just like you), have had it for 8 years (just like you), and it recently - about 2 months ago - started flashing the "FLASH SUM" error on the display, leaving me no choice but to unplug it just to power it down.



    I don't know why it does it either, but honestly, I'm about 2 seconds from dropping it in the trash. DVD players are a mature product now and pretty much all DVD players have the playback ability & component outputs I need. The $40 player I bought 3 months ago is smaller and plays CD's better than the 414, which mine has ALWAYS given me problems doing. So now I have to buy another cheap DVD player because the 414 is acting up. So I say scrape together a few bucks, go to Target, and get a new DVD player to replace your 414, too! It'll probably be cheaper and less of a hassle!

SOURCE: Flash Sum

  1. Have you tried cold starting it; disconnect it completely from the mains for ~10 mins, then reconnect and try again.
  2. It is probably a problem with the EPROM or the CPU. You could try resetting the software by holding in the STOP button while turning on the power to the unit. If that doesn't work it sounds like the EPROM is corrupt or the CPU is bad.

This is a mechanical problem and will only get worse, caused by gear ware timing issues, or jamming.

Pioneer region free code DV-340, DV-343, DV-444, DV-545
Introduction
The Px4x DVD Upgrade is an advanced modification to your DVD player, which adds extra features and enables you to get more from your machine. The upgrade supplements the DVD player and in no way harms the playback quality or removes any performance features of the DVD player.

Main Features
The DVD Upgrade adds the following features to your DVD player:
 Multiregion capability
 Macrovision disable

Players Supported
The following DVD players are supported by this version of the DVD Upgrade:

 Pioneer DV-340, Pioneer DV-343
 Pioneer DV-444
 Pioneer DV-545

Modification Details
Multiregion selection
Nearly all DVD discs on the market today are encoded with a specific "region" in mind and are made in such a way that a disc designed for "region 1" will not play on a player designed for "region 2". This is so that the Hollywood studios can control the release of titles in different geographical regions all over the world. Our upgrade allows you to select between regions 1 to 6.
Macrovision & CGMS disable
All DVD players have a system called Macrovision built in to the player, which is designed to stop the copying of DVD discs to video. However, this system can have adverse affects on some projectors. For this reason the DVD Upgrade disables Macrovision to solve any problems.

Operating Instructions
You can select the region code by remote. This region will be tried first when playing a disk.
Due to this design, the modification will work on the RCE (Regional Code Enhancement) protected DVD’s. In some cases it will be necessary to insert a conventional (non RCE protected) disc before playing a RCE protected disc. Follow the instructions as detailed bellow:

1. Turn the player on without a disc in it
2. On the remote control, press 'SETUP'
3. Use right arrow to select 'General'
4. Use down arrow to select 'Basic'
5. Press 'ENTER' on the remote control
6. Press 'Display' on the remote control
You should see the region code and OSD version that the player is set to
7. Press 'Condition/Memory'
8. Press '1', '2', '3', '4', '5' or '6' to change the region code of the player
The text will disappear
9. Press ' Display ' on the remote to control the region
10. Press 'SETUP' on the remote to exit. Play the disc
This dident work for me but mayby work for you.

My Pioneer DV-444 DVD player is showing flash sum in the display when powered up and will not even open the drawer. Is there a reset for this issue?
Yes, perform an observation of the device to asertain reset buttons. A reset button would usually have demarkation indication as usable to achieve restore fucntionality of the device. Once locating the reset functionality area, restoration would require a pin like object inserted to reach reset mode knobs enbeded within the device, for safety reasons made to prevent accidental reset. Keep in mind that DVD player device restoration would resestablish to default functionality ever prior user settings acheived. For example, reseting the device repairs only maladjusted settings.

The problem with the device is reopening the clogged disk compartment. However, the reset button is capable of proving restore functionality likely to produce compartment performance as before. Additional details about the devices fucntionalities are acquireable from user manuals. Good luck

At the back of my Pioneer DV-414 DVD Player there are 3 sockets namely (component video out) which are Y (Green), Cb (Blue) and Cr (Red). Can I connect these to my TV which has sockets Red, White and...
You are describing what are called composite video outputs. Unless your TV has similar green, blue and red input sockets, you should ignore them altogether.Your Pioneer DV-414 has several different ways to link to other pieces of equipment. Depending on the sophistication of your audio/video gear you can have a higher quality video image using the S-video outlets which look something like the PS2 sockets on older computer keyboards and mice. If you don't see this socket on the back of your TV, and you don't see the composite RGB sockets either, then you will have to use the standard red & white outlet for left/right audio and the yellow outlet for video.

Hope this helps -)

DVD player and receiver will not play a dvd in surround sound ?
The dvd player is responsible for reading the surround sound track, and sending it to the receiver. First make sure you are playing the surround sound track on the dvd, many have a stereo track too. Next, try another dvd and see if you can play surround sound on that one. If you can't play surround on ANY dvd I would start looking at the audio connection from dvd to receiver. Are you using an optical cable? Red, white, and yellow RCA cables? Optical will transmit any sound over only one cable, RCA cables need one cable for each channel (LF, C, RF, LR, RR, sub.) If your connections are correct, is the receiver set to play a surround sound track? Is it set in 2 channel mode?
