After my Pioneer records on timer recorder it turns itself off (which it should do) but loses all power to it (which it shouldn't do). I then turn it off and after 30 mins or so it comes back on. The time for recovery is becoming increasingly longer.
I have taken the player in to be repaired they have changed some parts. Whenever the Pioneer is in the workshop this problem does not happen. The repairman says he has spoken to Pioneer but has no clues.
Can you please help?
Cheers
Saturn
Nothing yet. Will check the caps in the p/supply as suggested and post result in a day or 2. Have all parts ex stock...just gotta warm the soldering iron up ;)

Hi Saturn et al, I had similar issues with my Pioneer DVR-520H. It completely went off for quite a while when it should be going to standby after a timer session. At the start it would come good after a few days. Eventually it went off altogether and nothing would bring it back. With my father-in-law being an electronics person we investigated with the help of the service manual which I found on the net. The finger was duly pointed at the power IC (MR2920) on the power supply board (Pioneer will sell only the complete board). I ordered the IC from the UK (nikko-electronics.co.uk) GBP8.99 which was the only place I could find it online and soldered it in myself (easy, if you can solder). All fixed and working again. Hope this helps.

There may be a problem with the stereo itself, or with the power supply. If the stereo is plugged into an outlet, try plugging it into a different outlet to see if that makes a difference. If the problem persists, you may need to consult a stereo repair specialist.
Common issue. The lasers/transports in these are terribly unreliable.
More of these hit repair stores and skips than pints of beer down a football thugs throat.
cut your time and loses and invest in one from any brand other than Philips. pioneer and Yamaha make exceedingly good CD-R recorders for the home user. Hhb, marantz, fostex for the pro market
If you have IR capability make sure you have power to the camera as well as a video feed. There should be a tail at the camera that supports the power and a plug in for the other side.
Hello To unlock the receiver from child lock, Press '/Power ON button on the recorder. The recorder turns OFF and ' CHILD LOCK' appear on the display. The timer indicator remains lit if there is a timer setting. The recorder will not workexcept for timer recordings. To unlock the recorder, Hold Down '/Power button on the front panel of the recorder itself, until the "CHILD LOCK" display disappears from the front panel display.
I had the same issue. It turns out that the recorder has to be switched off otherwise it won't record. The unit will power itself on at the scheduled time and record your program. It doesn't make any sense to me why this would be a requirement but it solved the problem for me.
Sometimes this will fix itself if you take the battery out. Otherwise, the best way seems to be to empty the memory, and start all over, recording on a blank slate. These are really pretty awful machines, with endless problems.
The on/off switch on mine just broke, and I say "good riddance."
I have similar problem and would like to seek help. Thanks.
I have had the same problem and eventually I could not power the unit at all. Its presently in with Pioneer to be repaired so will see how it goes.
