Have you solved ???? Thanks .. I have the same problem

Smash it against the wall then buy a new unit from best buy, they have a great return policy.

I don't have a stand-alone cd recorder but like many people I have burned discs on the computer and had many disappointments. While some disc drives are clearly better than others, for no apparent reason, there does seem to be more reject discs with some software than others. Particularly disappointing is the Nero burning software that performs well when it is first installed but seems to deteriorate fairly quickly with every computer restart. I know nothing about such things so I am only guessing the cause might be that Nero displaces some Windows components and Windows seems to try repairing itself when booting. Like most things these days, especially digital things, your cd recorder is in fact a computer that depends entirely on the software loaded into it, software that could degrade or become corrupted over time. While it is possible the disc drive (laser perhaps) has become less potent it wouldn't be unreasonable to suspect the software and I suggest you contact Panasonic. It is probable, like many things requiring software, early versions were found to have problems and would be periodically updated.

I would check two things... First make sure your wires are not connected in reverse order from the speaker to the cassette deck. Second I would check for a short in the wire between the speaker and the cassette deck. You can do this relatively easy with a fluke meter. That's all I can think of hope it might help

You are aloud to post pictures of the back of your receiver. It would be easier to explain with pic.

Hello, it should disconnect external speakers when plugging the headphones. Models like vsx456 does come with speakers on/off settings but not vsx323k. You might be experiencing headphones defectiveness or even vsx323k plug being defective.

Question edited for clarity and spelling *receiver (I before E except after C) *message (2 x s) Remove the unit and take it into a Pioneer Service Centre. That Power Loop often happens with overheating or Firmware issues, . ..

Not a fuse for the speakers. There is a protection circuit in the unit that shuts off the audio amp if there is a problem with the speakers drawing too much current.

a good good run, most never get that far, never serviced. 1981 actual; using RCA rear jacks mark PLAY? both speakers? L and R>? CD, all CDs low. but is FM radio low too>? there is no CD player there, on board so if FM is ok and AM then your CD player not told is bad. OR????? CDDA real music disks (brick store bought off shelf) or or CD with a bunch of MP3, or WAV or FLAC files? is CD-r disk , SUN wrecked, not kept in dark not used. oops. CD_R are easy to wreck in sun say parked on a window ledge. all mine are good back to the first CD-R ever made and have hundreds here.. buy new BluRay player and it does them all, no more weak laser do not use phono jack or that will put the preamp into saturation or the AGC there to go nuts. use only tape or aux , play jacks phono is only for phonograph weak weak mag cartridges tell what is there all and get better answers can go back 1960s and tubes, sure can. (old as dirt me)

google Remote for Pioneer HTD520, there are several on line. amazon has new one.

It seems that one of the rear lamps burned. Have you tried to open Setup of the TV and raise the level of light?

Not meaning to resurrect an old thread, but I had the same issue and found the culprits after a few hours of fiddling around. The autoplay was dropping the needle close to the middle of the record and then picking it up again and returning indefinitely. I'll leave this here for anyone else who has this issue. The auto drop adjustment is not what you want to be messing with, but you need to take the bottom main assembly out and focus on the parts in the attached pictures. These two parts are screwed onto the largest/main cog on the main assembly. Mine were gummed together with old grease. They are easily removed and cleaned and relubricated. The two shafts on the PU assembly are meant to move independently - mine were again stuck together with old grease. I worked them loose and applied some new lubricant. After cleaning these parts it worked perfectly again!

There may be a short somewhere inside that's causing it to draw too much power. If many other people are experiencing the same problem, then it may be a design flaw (like the original Xbox 360s).
As I always say, if it's under warranty/exchange, then just go that route by calling the manufacturer (for warranty) or just exchange it at the store you purchased it from.
If you're a gambling man, or find and understand the schematics, you could try stepping up the fuse to a slightly higher value. This isn't something you should seriously consider unless ALL other avenues have failed, as the fuse blows to protect the rest of the circuit from essentially melting down.

Check the all time 5volt supply is there. It comes from the standby supply.

Apparently this receiver will always display the feature demo when the car is turned on or the key is in the accessory position. You do not need the remote. Press the furthest right button (6) of the multi-function buttons below the screen to exit the demo. (These are soft keys and the display will give different text options depending on the mode. When the display is in standby, the screen says ATT above this button. When you are setting tuner presets, it will have a 6.) The soft keys match the remote behavior. Crutchfield has the manual for the DEH-P9400MP on the product page: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-gewSvqpRW4f/p_130DEHP940/Pioneer-DEH-P9400MP.html . On the Overview tab, see the What's in the box section. The current link to the manual is https://pdf.crutchfieldonline.com/ImageBank/v20070116103800/Manuals/130/130DEHP940.PDF . I hope this helps.

I had the same problem. I didn't clean the system I just got mad and inserted the cd holder really hard and smacked the radio a few times. Now it's working again. I suggest you do the same. Sorry for my bad English.

An internal fuse may have failed while in storage. Power switch failure is another possibility.

Not a good idea to update the software! According to the User manual a UE22 code indicates a failed software update. (scroll to p. 75). If you haven't tried to update the firmware in the receiver then perhaps the wrong buttons have been operated on the remote control which placed the receiver in the update "mode".

The receiver has failed internally and has to be repaired.
