Yes, it has two HDMI inputs on the rear of the TV.

This usually happens when there is a new firmware available for this TV. You may need to contact Pioneer to get the firmware and you can install it from a Flash Drive. I can not recall (though I do own this TV) if this TV can be connected directly to the internet or not, however, if you check Pioneers Web Site, you should find the firmware unless they have discontinued this model in which case you will need to call them and see if they can email it to you or point you to a location on their site. Hope this helps. PS. I could not find any info on this TV on their site anymore, so I would suggest calling them Call 1-800-421-1624, Monday - Friday Between 7:30 - 11:30 AM and 12:30 - 4:00 PM PST.

Hi Larry. I imagine that you have found an answer to your problem, long before now. But, just in case... I can tell you that the problem that you are having with the Pioneer PDP-5071HD 50" Plasma TV is the Power Supply Board. It is no longer able to distribute the correct amount of power to the rest of your boards. This is why the light blinks "Red" (usually 3x) and the set does not turn on. If you want to save your HDTV from the junk yard, you can purchase a new Power Supply Board and put it in yourself (it's not hard at all). I picked one up for $185.00, back when my set did the same thing. Hope this helps. Good luck.

You would need a box like the Western Digital live or a newer gaming system like Wii, Xbox, PS3. The code is given when you register that device to your Netflix account. I am unaware of any other way as the codes are specific to your account and the device your trying to use it on. The Pioneer PDP-5071 does not have a way to handle the stream without a separate device as listed above.

Does the set have sound with a DVD etc. directly connected to one of the audio/video inputs this set has?

HelloJust do a factory reset to all option. Just go to its user manual page number [[64]. All the details are described there. OK.

We have a Hitachi TV with an AT&T U-Verse contract. The volume control on our remote does not work at all.

There are two power buttons on this TV. One on the lower left front and one on the right side. make sure they are both on. During storage it may have deactivated both of them.

Hello - I can't diagnose your problem from the info given. But what you described is a problem with the tuner, or some other switching problem.
It does not indicate there is anything wrong with your plasma panel.

Hello. You have to go into your Display Settings, in your HP Laptop, and chose the Dual Screen/Monitor Setting & make sure you check the "Extend my Windows Desktop onto this Monitor" Box. If you are trying to view your Internet Browser on your TV - you will need to Click on and Drag your Browser to the Right... of off your Laptop Screen and onto your TV Screen. This will take care of your problem!

Yeah this would need a plasma screen replacement. not too good sound as well. Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/edwy_1a56970cf1ea4620

Pioneer recommended a firmware upgrade for the repeating twelve blue led blinking and remote issue you specifed.

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. ..
