ground the little black wire at the rear of the unit

When the screen appears not to work, are you able to bring up the TV's onscreen menu?  If not, it would appear you have a problem with a video board since the TV still maintains power.  I would say service is likely required and should be looked into before it gets worse and more expensive to fix.

might need laser cleaning. try a laser cleaning disc from most electronic shops

this is a security feature integrated in the player, when u are moving(handbrake is off) u shouldnt be able to watch movies, well unless u have the ability to drive SAFELY and watch a moie, witch i do doubt about. green wire should be connected to the hand brake sensor. or just make a small switch(not more than a couple of pounds or just brake any unusfull appliance that has an on/off switch and use it :-)) ( one end connect to the wire and on the other side to any metal part of the chassi - do NOT connect with positive!!) put it on a easy location and every time u start ur car have to turn the switch off and then back on this way the player thinks u are not moving and the hand brake is on.
REMEMBER, DO NOT TRY TO DRIVE AND WATCH MOVIE SAME TIME AS I DO KNOW PEOPLE TRYING TO DO IT, IF U WANT ADVICE FROM SOMEONE THAT HAD AN ACCIDENT FOR THAT REASON, A CAN PROVIDE U WITH THE INFORMATION U NEED !!!!

buy a toggle switch
run a wire from the red wire located at the back of deck
to the deck and toggle switch (power to power on toggle switch)
do the same with the ground wire (black) (ground to ground on toggle switch) (make sure to follow logos on toggle switch)
finally install e brake wire to center pin on toggle switch
now you can watch make sure toggle switch is on
if this didn't work switch the e brake wire and black wire on toggle switch
good luck hope i helped

Hi There
buy a toggle switch with 3pin
use small speaker wire attach it to red wire on unit (make sure to not UN hook red wire just add long enough speaker piece to red wire) attach it to toggle switch top (power logo) do the same for the black wire (ground) only put it in the ground on toggle switch (ground logo) attach the brake wire to the last open toggle switch turn it on and video appears while driving (follow logos on toggle switch) if this doesn't work switch the black and parking brake wires around on toggle switch
hope this helped

incompatible disc thats whats its telling you or you !

I may as well tell you as this isnt exactly a secret. You must put a switch in line so that the green ebrake wire sees nothing when you turn the vehicle on and then after the deck turns on you turn the switch on so it sees ground. That will bypass it for you.
After starting up, however, it needs to see a dual pulse. So you must switch it to ground 2x before the video will show.

There is a guy on ebay who does that repair service on the Pioneer AVH models. I thinks its $100 and change for the service plus shipping costs. Not a bad deal, beats going Pioneer! His service is also same day. http://cgi.ebay.com/AVH-P7500dvd-AVH-P6500dvd-MORE-repair-service_W0QQitemZ180196772416QQihZ008QQcategoryZ32825QQcmdZViewItem

I have the AVH-P5000DVD unit and that happen to me. I tuned on the Backgound (inside the DVD AV menu) in the system menu and lost the picture but still had the audio. I set it back to off and the video came back.

Make sure the attenuator is not on. Also make sure the unit isnt performing still, slow motion or frame by frame play back. You can also use the troubleshooting guide from the manual located at: http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/130/130AVHP570.PDF
