My Pioneer Plasma PDP 4214HD tv is get extremely hot on the right upper corner no matter how long its on. All vents are cleaned. What can I do?

Sounds like it may be overheating. Make sure all the vents are clean and clear and the inside electronics are not covered in dust etc.

Really it is problem with TV itself. Contact any service technician for help. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. Check the site in 'Mosaic' view. It will make search easy. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

You will only be able to buy the entire board from Pioneer in Long Beach, if it's still available. If not, I may be able to repair the board to the component level. If you need a repair, please contact me through my website at audioserviceclinic.com. I used to work for Pioneer,

Look to see PIP or picture in picture is not engaged as it may be doing this.

Is tv plasma or lcd (how old). it may be the screen or pannel has lost its efficiency. A bit like old tv's tube going. You did the correct thing by adjusting controls but this sounds like a workshop job

PDP-5040 turns on then off after 3-4 seconds / display in upper right corner says user full and record timer led is lit on box / rrepairable?

If you have fresh batteries in your remote and its still not working, then try another remote and if you can't get another remote to work with the TV then you know its not a remote problem and its more then likely a problem with the IR sensor in the Plasma TV.

If thats your case after doing your troubleshooting then see if your Pioneer Plasma tv is under warranty, if it is contact Pioneer to get the TV covered under warranty. If its not then you would need to contact Pioneer to get the part # for the IR sensor on the plasma tv.

Then depending on price you can buy it from them or do a search on google to find the best price for the IR Sensor.

i have a pdp-v402 display was wondering if it can be hooked up to my tv if so how

The problem was with the cable box and not the television. We unplugged box - (we'd reset it before) and the "2" was gone.
