Dim/dark Picture Over time my pioneer elite pro-520hd has slowly begun to get a darker/dimmer picture, especially when watching a movie with a dark scene, you can hardly see anything at that point.

The model indicated here is rear projection that uses three picture tubes.

If rear cover is removed--can be done by removing entire front screen but there are hazards like damaging the screen---with rear cover removed clean the lens in the three round cyclinders which point up and are hard to miss===

They are the light source for the picture---there is if you look up inside and to the rear a mirror but unless grimy it rarely needs cleaning.

clean the lens with a lens cloth or even a paper towel with glass cleaner sprayed on the towel.

SOURCE: Pioneer Elite PRO-520HD POPS the SHUTS OFF

It could be a couple of things doing it. The lead on the CRT , The Flyback and or splitter are just a few of the things that come to mind. be careful as thats high vorage and a arching CRT or Flyback lead can be very dangerous . It is usually best to callm in a professional for those kind of repairs and diagnosis unless your a skilled technician , let a repair shop handle the problem and be safe.

It is most likely just solder connections on your power supply. If the only diag LED that lights is on the supply, then thats usually the case. You can unplug the set and remove the supply to fix it with a little soldering. You have to remove the metal board supporter from the bottom of the board and solder quite a few connections. Look for cracked connections on the power connectors to the rest of the set, and also connections on the main transformer. If you need soldering experience, get a kit at radio shack and build a little project to get some practice.

SOURCE: pioneer elite pro-530hd tv---no picture at all!

I have a 532nd 53 that shuts off and red stand by lite comes on in the back. If you wait awhile and unplug it and plug it back in it will come on again and then shut off after an hour or two

Pioneer Elite Pro 620 HD TV on several occasions the screen has gone black but sound continues and the power green libht remains on. After shutting down for 10-15 minutes picture comes back.

Pioneer Elite Pro rear projection 620HD - Picture is still there but brightness and "white" have faded over years allowing for mediocre viewing when room is dark only. During the daylight picture is visible if viewed straight on and within 15 feet from set. Any suggestions?

I have a pioneer elite pro 100 projection tv. the picture seems to be getting darker and darker. and the color seems to be fading as well what could be wrong? and i havent tried to turn up the brightness...

hi..first check it out the brightness.It is available in the
menu button,available on the top of the tv.If it still doesnt
work Projection TVs have a high intensity lamp as the light
source. They wear out and gradually get dim.You probably
need to replace it.
check it out..
thank u..

Is the RGB computer-like jack at the rear of the Pioneer PRO-520HD projection TV a digital input like a DVI input? I'm trying to use the TV for BluRay discs. Chris Fox

The RGB input is like a computer monitor input, and may handle HD. I would recommend using component video instead for ease of use, but also most TVs will only handle a couple resolutions, but your component jack should handle 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i giving you flexabilty and a comprable picture.
