Pioneer Model: DEH-P8400BH, USB port goes inactive

It's possible that the head unit's USB port or the wireless phone charger is no longer functioning properly. You can try the following to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Disconnect the wireless phone charger and test the USB port by connecting a different device. If the other device doesn't charge, the USB port may be faulty.
  2. If the USB port is working, try a different wireless phone charger. If it still doesn't work, the issue could be with the wireless phone charger.
  3. Check the car's fuse box for a blown fuse related to the head unit.
  4. If all else fails, contact Pioneer or a professional car audio installer for further assistance.

Pioneer plasma TV model PDP-4271HD. When I turn the power on it starts to come on and then shuts down the blue Power indicator light flashes.

Unless your a skilled electronic tech and have the test gear to trouble shoot the set don't waist your money trying to fix it. Plasma sets are about 10x more complex than a LCD set

How to program my sanyogxdb remote to w ok rk my pioneer elite vsx 33 rece v er

To program your Sanyo GXDB remote to work with your Pioneer Elite VSX 33 receiver, you can try the following steps:
  1. Turn on the Pioneer Elite VSX 33 receiver manually using the power button located on the receiver itself.
  2. Hold down the "Code Search" button on your Sanyo GXDB remote until the LED light on the remote stays lit or blinks.
  3. Press the "TV" or "DVD" button on the remote, depending on which device mode you want to program the receiver to.
  4. Enter the corresponding code for Pioneer receivers. You can find a list of Pioneer remote control codes in the instruction manual that came with your Sanyo GXDB remote or by searching online. Enter the code using the number buttons on the remote.
  5. Point the remote at the Pioneer receiver and press the "Power" button. If the receiver turns off, it means the remote has been successfully programmed. If not, repeat the process using a different code from the list until you find the one that works.
  6. Once the remote successfully turns off the receiver, press the "Code Search" button again to save the code. The LED light on the remote should turn off or stop blinking.
  7. Test the remote by pressing other buttons, such as volume up/down or channel up/down, to ensure it is functioning properly with your Pioneer Elite VSX 33 receiver.
If you're still having trouble programming the remote, consult the instruction manual that came with the Sanyo GXDB remote or contact Sanyo customer support for further assistance.

Pioneer receiver sx218 push power on clicks but nothing in front or any other sounds any ideas

If your Pioneer SX-218 receiver is not producing any sound or showing any indication of power, despite hearing a clicking sound when you push the power button, there could be a few potential causes for the issue:
  1. Power Supply: Verify that the receiver is properly connected to a working power outlet and that the power cable is securely plugged in. Check for any loose connections or damaged power cords. Try plugging the receiver into a different power outlet to eliminate the possibility of a faulty outlet causing the issue.
  2. Protection Mode: Some receivers have built-in protection mechanisms that activate in case of a fault or short circuit. This can cause the receiver to shut down and not produce any sound. Check for any obvious issues, such as loose speaker wires or a shorted speaker. Disconnect all speakers and peripherals from the receiver, then power it on to see if it starts up. If it does, gradually reconnect the speakers and peripherals one by one to identify any potential issues.
  3. Speaker Impedance: Ensure that the speakers connected to the receiver have the correct impedance rating compatible with the receiver's specifications. Using speakers with impedance levels outside the recommended range can cause the receiver to go into protection mode or produce no sound.
  4. Reset the Receiver: Perform a factory reset on the receiver to eliminate any settings-related issues. Refer to the user manual or the manufacturer's website for instructions on how to reset your specific model. Keep in mind that a factory reset will erase any custom settings and configurations, so you may need to set up the receiver again afterward.
  5. Internal Component Fault: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible that there may be an internal component failure in the receiver. In such cases, it is recommended to contact Pioneer customer support or consult a qualified technician for further diagnosis and repair.
Remember to consult the user manual for your Pioneer SX-218 receiver for specific troubleshooting steps and instructions tailored to your model. If you are unsure or uncomfortable performing any troubleshooting steps, it's best to seek professional assistance to avoid causing further damage to the receiver.

Does the pioneer vsx 1015tx has a fuse for the speakers?

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.
