Pioneer plasma won't turn on

My pioneer 5020FD Kuro tv. when I plug power to the unit, a blue light blinks 8 times pause 2 sec. and blink 8 times repeating this and if i press power button it clicks red light and makes a clicking sound and goes back to the blue light blinking again, it did this once before and the picture came on fine until i turned it off and now it just blink the blue code.

This model has no headphone out put. In the rear panel there are two monitor audio outputs which could drive headphones, but I think the volume output to a possible monitor matches the tv loudspeaker output, and may not turn off the audio separately.

Hi Miquel.

If the unit does not start but stays in standby with the red light on, then the TV is in forced standby mode because an internal problem has been detected.

Try disconnecting power cord for ten minutes. If that does not help, then the TV must be tested and repaired.

Regards.

If there is no power to tv, remove rear panel and check the fuse. If the fuse is good, the power supply will need to be replaced

If it's a horizontal line then its the TV service you are using. This also happens with cablevision and Verison FIOS services. You might be able to look into your menu settings on the TV and adjust this.

If the light on the media reciever doesn't come on then the power supply in that needs to be replaced by a service tech. If you disconnect the 2 cables from the media reciever and the panel and then try to turn on the panel it should light with red and green squares for a few seconds but will turn off as it needs the media reciever to be connected.

You will see that there is a power button on the bottom right corner of the back of the unit (item 25). Turn the unit on using that first.
