Pioneer 510-HD 95% of the time when i turn my unit on it comes on to a blue screen with horizontal lines and with light fuzz in the sound. if i leave it on like this for 10 to 20 minutes it will make a loud POP and the picture and sound come right on. thanks for any help you can give.

EchoKaos may not have resoldered his PS board, which most units in that line need. This will most likely solve the problem. A virtually complete resolder is needed on that board, not just the obviously problem areas.

If not -

If the hor lines are upward and curved slightly and a couple of inches apart, then the blue Screen trimpot on the focus block is most likely turned up too high. When turned down the lines will disappear.

This mucks with your grayscale, but then it's trashed anyway by now, and after reducing it, you will have to do a new grayscale on your set, or have one done by ISF. Or a tech who knows how to set the Screen controls, since ISF does not teach that.
