The standby keeps flashing but the power doesn't turn on

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
Blinking codes details to many popular brand TVs are given. Surf the site with patience. If blinks continue without any pause, the main board is faulty.

When the STANDBY indicator

flashes

Immediately unplug the power cord

and check the following items.

• If your unit have a voltage selector,

is the voltage selector set to the

correct voltage?

Check the voltage for your region,

then make sure the voltage selector

is set correctly.

• Are the + and - speaker cords shortcircuited?

• Are you using the supplied

speakers?

• Is anything blocking the ventilation

holes on the rear of the unit?

After checking the above items and

fixing any problems, plug in the power

cord again and turn on the unit. If the

STANDBY indicator still flashes, or if

the cause of the problem cannot be

found even after checking all the

above items, consult your dealer.

Probably the separate box is a learning remote. Have you tried to turn on the projector at the projector?

When the power indicator is blinking red, there are a few possible issues. 1) The unit has overheated internally due to insufficient air flow around the unit. Let it cool down and then make sure that you have it in a well-ventilated area. (If you keep your home theater devices in a "closet", make sure that you have good air flow so that the heat from all the devices doesn't build up.)

2) The speaker wire cores are touching each other or the back of the unit. The DRA-397 will shut itself off if it detects a short of the speaker wires. Check the connections and make sure that the wires are not touching where they shouldn't.

3) An internal short or fault has been detected. In this case, contact Denon for repair.

I hope this helps.

Usually Sony and LG Blinking Codes are the same. Here is what I have.

• Unit is dead, No blinks - Problem in the standby power section. Might check fuse,
  
• Continuous blink once a second, no pausing - No reply from the jungle IC301 (data bus is busy, shorted to ground, or held high), IK video path is defective.
  
• One blink - not used for the self-diagnosis
  
• Two blinks - B+ over current protection (OCP), unit goes to the standby mode then displays the 2 blink fault. Could be a short in the power supply of any of the circuits.
  
• Three blinks - B+ over voltage protection (OVP), unit goes to the standby mode then displays the 3 blink fault. This is also a problem in the power supply circuit,
• Four blinks - No vertical Deflection (V STOP), Screen goes to a single horizontal line then the video signal muted.
  
• Five blinks - AKB circuit (automatic kine bias), the timer/standby indicator blinks for about 30 seconds then goes to the self-diagnosis function. Something is wrong with the video. In addition, unit could be in IK blanking, try turning up screen slightly.
  
• Six blinks - No Horizontal (H STOP), no raster, goes to the blinking self-diagnosis function immediately.
  
• Seven blinks - High voltage shutdown. The high voltage has exceeded 33k and the unit goes immediately into safety shutdown. Check power supply regulation and horizontal circuits.
  

• Eight blinks - Problem with the audio (AUDIO), unit goes to standby and blinks the self-diagnosis code.

• Nine blinks - Panel Module Error or Thermal Error. If it is intermittent 9 blinks, meaning sometimes the TV comes on and other times you get flashing Make sure the regulator is -12 or -13 (negitive).

• Ten blinks - Check Q8014 and Q8013 for shorts, leakage, or bad solder connections on the " D" board. If the transistors are bad, check R8051 and IC8005, also on the "D" board.

PROTECTIVE FEATURE

In some cases, the STANDBY indicator may blink slowly, twice per second. In this case, turn off the unit, unplug the power cord, and check the following points.

Make sure the speaker cables are not reversed and connected to the wrong sides (+ and -) on the unit.

Make sure the speaker cables connected to the unit are not shorted. (Check both the unit end and the speaker end.)

Make sure the volume does not exceed the level that the unit is capable of producing.

When using the unit in a rack or other enclosed space, heat may build up inside the unit and cause a fire. When installing the unit, be sure to leave suffi cient space between the top, back and both sides of the unit and walls or other AV components to prevent the internal temperature from rising.

After checking these points, plug in the power cord and use the remote controller to turn on the unit. Turn down the volume before resuming playback. Confirm that there are no problems with the speaker connections and playback performance.

If this symptom recurs, request service at your nearest service center.

In rare instances, the unit may enter standby mode and the STANDBY indicator may blink rapidly, 8 times per second. In this case, unplug the power cord and request service at your nearest service center.

make sure the video cable is inserted firmly. is it is, the video cable wires are loose inside the monitor which it is not getting the signal, telling it to go on standby mode.

according to all of the local repair shops, 9 blinks on the stand by light means that the power supply is shot. eand and every one told me that the set had to be taken to a service center for repair, since the power supply is in a board, not seperate. cost around my area is between 50 and 150 for the parts, labor from 100 to 200.

My view is never buy a sony again! 90% of the service shops will not touch sony, saying thay cannot be authorized by sony unless they pay sony for the certificate.
