20 Most Recent Pioneer DV-260 DVD Player Questions & Answers

thats like trying to play a dvd ina cd player. cant be done.

Hi

There are several different ways to do this depending on your equipment and what types of connecting cables they will accept.

However the setup described here is a basic setup that allows you to play discs using just the cables supplied with the player. In this setup, stereo audio is played through the speakers in your TV.

You do not need to connect the player to the cable receiver for the TV.

Use the supplied audio/video cable to connect the red and white plugs to the audio outputs and the yellow plug to the video output on the back of the DVD player. Make sure you match up the left and right audio outputs with their corresponding inputs for correct stereo sound.

On the back of your TV you should see these inputs - may be labelled AV IN, RCA IN or Composite In. Ensure you connect them using the color code i.e yellow to yellow, white to white etc.....

Connect the power supply to your DVD player and After making sure that everything is connected properly and that the player is plugged in, press STANDBY/ON on the front panel, or on the remote control to switch the player on.

If nothing is displayed on the TV make sure that the TV is set to the correct video input (not a TV channel). For example, if you connected this player to the VIDEO 1 inputs on your TV, switch your TV to VIDEO 1.

You should now see a welcome screen. Follow the prompts on screen and your DVD player is ready to play disks.

Ok folks, I've found it......turn the unit off.....press and hold the << button on the unit....should be the button closest to the power button....then power the unit on....that's all there is to it....as it turns out, before you set the unit to "progressive scan" it warns you about that and tells you how to reset it...

Use a good dvd cleaner & clean the player. If this works then problem solved, if not then check the back of the dvd for deep scratches. those are the two common causes of the problem you describe. Hope this helps & please remember to rate my answer. Thanks.

GET A SMALL PIECE OF RUBBER AND PLACE THE DVD UPSIDE DOWN SO DAMAGE IS FACING UP NOW GET A BUFFER FOR A CAR (ELECTRIC!) AND SOME NON ABRAISAVE PAST WAX FOR CARS...RUB A THIN COAT OF WAX ON THE DVD OR CD AND LET DRY NOW BUFF THE DISC WITH A FIRM PRESSURE, BUFF FOR 30 SECONDS THEN CHECK! THIS WORKS FOR ME EVERY TIME REPETE IF NESSARY

THE NUMBER OF FLASHES TELLS THE SERVICE TEC ITS BROK AND WHAT IS WRONG WOULD BE CHEAPER TO REPLACE THEN REPAYR!

It the power LED is blinking, they are coded and are in fact called Blink Codes. They tell what is wrong with the set. It won't come back on until you fix the issue. This is an old set and not worth repairing.https://www.google.com/search?q=pioneer+plasma+tv+pdp436+pg+blink+codesAll of Mr Ogwang's posts are gone as they are AI Chat GPT4 generated...

Question edited for clarity. Great question Madeleine. The ones with Screen Saver and Audio are in Preview Mode. If you want to watch them, you have to subscribe. It is a tactic to get you hooked and get you to pay. Sometimes they will give you a couple of minutes of video and audio at the beginning of a programme. It isn't a television issue, it is your cable provider and a sales technique. ..

Remove the case, look for a fan, vacuum the main board and all case vents. ..

Sorry you're having problems. Offhand the 8 blink code on a Pioneer Plasma translates to an internal communication failure in the TV and generally requires repairs. However it's worth it to try a hard reset, as sometimes the processor in the TV can simply have locked up. The first thing you would try, is disconnect the set from power, then press and hold the power button on the TV itself (not the remote), for 10 seconds and release. Then plug the set back in, and also check that the power cord is connected tight at the TV as well. Press power once, and see if the set powers up normally.

The blue blinking light on your Pioneer amp could indicate a number of issues. One possible reason is that the amp is in "standby" mode, which means that it is not currently receiving any audio signals. Another possibility is that the amp is experiencing an error or malfunction. To get a better understanding of the issue, I would recommend checking the user manual for your Pioneer amp. If you don't have the manual, you can try searching for it online using the model number of your amp. You can also try resetting the amp by unplugging it from the power source for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. If the problem persists, it may be time to take your amp to a professional for repair.
