Projection TV sets have two very common problems. One is convergence ( 3D/Warped video) the other is CRT fluid ( Dull Video). Below are more details for both items. Also, complete repair kits with instructions and repair support are avail from site such as www.TvRepairKits.com

Common Problem #1) Convergence has gone out

Projection TV sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the video to look normal. When its out of alignment the video will look 3D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the TV menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired.

This is a very common failure on these projection sets and a fairly simple DIY fix. All projection sets including Samsung, RCA, Sony, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Pioneer, Akai, GE, JVC, Toshiba, and others at some point will have the same problem.

Common Symptoms include....

• Screen looks 3D
• Colors don't line up
• One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
• Screen is bowed or warped.
• TV shuts off after powering on. Power light will blink. TV may also make a chirping noise.

Here are some pics of convergence problems.

Common Problem #2) CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.

if you are using cable or dss, check the aspect settings on the receiver. if you still have an issue, post a comment and i will help you further.

I dont think a reset code is goig to help this problem . You need to check on the power supply board and in the Middle is a 6.3amp Fuse CK to see if it is blowed, If OK Then check all the pico fuses they will look like resistors but will be either Green or Yellow 5amp,6amp,7amp fuses
They if they are good STK ICs mighht need to be replaced STK392-110s 2 of them .
Mats Electronics has all of these Parts 1-800-628-1118

Look for Blowed fuse 6amps will be in the middle of chassis ,behind the FBT flyback transfomer and the next most likley cause is your STK ICs they are big black ICs will have part number on them
example STK392-110 Mats Electroniocs has them 1-800-628-1118
If their is anything else you need to know just ASK.Thank You

Replaced the video backlight board.It about to die.

You can get a HDMI to DVI cable at Monoprice.com. You will also need to connect the audio cable as DVi does not have audio.

It the power LED is blinking, they are coded and are in fact called Blink Codes. They tell what is wrong with the set. It won't come back on until you fix the issue. This is an old set and not worth repairing.https://www.google.com/search?q=pioneer+plasma+tv+pdp436+pg+blink+codesAll of Mr Ogwang's posts are gone as they are AI Chat GPT4 generated...

Question edited for clarity. Great question Madeleine. The ones with Screen Saver and Audio are in Preview Mode. If you want to watch them, you have to subscribe. It is a tactic to get you hooked and get you to pay. Sometimes they will give you a couple of minutes of video and audio at the beginning of a programme. It isn't a television issue, it is your cable provider and a sales technique. ..

Remove the case, look for a fan, vacuum the main board and all case vents. ..

Sorry you're having problems. Offhand the 8 blink code on a Pioneer Plasma translates to an internal communication failure in the TV and generally requires repairs. However it's worth it to try a hard reset, as sometimes the processor in the TV can simply have locked up. The first thing you would try, is disconnect the set from power, then press and hold the power button on the TV itself (not the remote), for 10 seconds and release. Then plug the set back in, and also check that the power cord is connected tight at the TV as well. Press power once, and see if the set powers up normally.

The blue blinking light on your Pioneer amp could indicate a number of issues. One possible reason is that the amp is in "standby" mode, which means that it is not currently receiving any audio signals. Another possibility is that the amp is experiencing an error or malfunction. To get a better understanding of the issue, I would recommend checking the user manual for your Pioneer amp. If you don't have the manual, you can try searching for it online using the model number of your amp. You can also try resetting the amp by unplugging it from the power source for a few minutes and then plugging it back in. If the problem persists, it may be time to take your amp to a professional for repair.

You need to run a DVD or CD cleaner disc. It has small bristles that clean the dust off the tracking laser. It is less powerful than the reading laser, and is the one that registers there is a disc there. https://www.google.com/search?q=dvd+cleaner+disc ..

If your Pioneer VSX-1020 receiver is not turning on along with your television, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check the power connections: Ensure that the receiver is properly plugged into a power outlet and that the power cable is securely connected to the back of the unit. Also, check if the power outlet is functioning properly by plugging in another device.
2. Reset the receiver: Perform a soft reset by turning off the receiver, unplugging it from the power source, and waiting for about 15 minutes. Then, plug it back in and turn it on. This can help reset any temporary glitches or issues with the receiver's electronics.
3. Check the remote control settings: Verify that the remote control is properly set up to control both the television and the receiver. Make sure you have followed the instructions in the receiver's manual for programming the remote control to work with your specific television brand.
4. Test with a different HDMI cable: If you are using an HDMI connection between the receiver and the television, try using a different HDMI cable to rule out any potential cable issues. Sometimes, a faulty cable can prevent the devices from properly communicating.
5. Update the firmware: Visit the Pioneer website and check if there are any firmware updates available for your receiver model. Updating the firmware can sometimes resolve compatibility issues and improve overall performance.
6. Contact customer support: If the issue persists, it may be best to contact Pioneer's customer support for further assistance. They can provide specific troubleshooting steps or advise on whether the receiver may require servicing or repair.

Remember to consult the receiver's manual for additional troubleshooting steps and to ensure you are following the correct procedures for your specific model.

FL OFF could indicate a problem with the power supply or the cooling fan inside the receiver. Try unplugging the unit to reset the error code. If the error persists, the receiver needs to be serviced. If the Pioneer VSX-90 is still under warranty (1 year), contact the manufacturer. Otherwise, decide if it is worth fixing (including the shipping costs and minimum service fee). I wish that I had better news for you. (There are service manuals available for sale online. I know nothing about these vendors.)

Take the back off the set and use a can of air to blow out the various heat sinks on the boards along with the fans, it should run much cooler after that and get rid of the code.
