Pioneer PDP-425CMX 42 in. Plasma Television Logo

Pioneer PDP-425CMX 42" Plasma Tv

The top 4 or 5 inches of the tv looks fine and below that there is a solid black horizontal line that is about 2 inches thick. From the Black line down, the screen is white with a little bit of ghost imaging. I plan on check the voltages at certain points on different boards, but before I start, I was looking for suggestions to see if anyone has seen this problem in any plasma before and can suggest a good starting point. I was thinking either the main board or the 42 x-drive assembly.

Try the scan PCBs that run down the side and the connectors that hook them up to the rest of the system. That would be my first place to start.

Unfortunately I don't have service manuals for non-european models. What is the date of manufacture?

The signal appears to buffer on some channels interrupting a clear video and audio presentation

When you are seeing buffering only on some channels then that is your cable provider or satellite. Nothing to do with your tv.If it were buffering on all then you can suspect something in the reciever section being annoying.

Pioneer plasma tv has vertical white line

Hi my name is Roety,
I can help you with your issue ,
 If the line is present on all inputs, and effects the menu the panel (screen ) is bad.
The cost of a new panel is probably more than a new Tv.
Try reseating the ribbon cables before trashing the TV

Black horizontal line across the middle of the plasma TV screen

It could be a defective Y-Buffer board, or a defective Plasma panel.

Dpo adjustment

Press the menu key on the remote on on the tv itself. Look for the menu option that says "setup" or Video Adjust, or something of the like.  It should give you options like: color, tint, sharpness, etc.
Just browse through the menu to see how yours is setup.
Hope this helps.

Pioneer plasma 42 inch tv won't turn on. power runs thru dvd. remote is sending signal and dvd has power.

There should be a power button on the bottom of the panel that has to be depressed for the television to power on. It is the main power supply button and without it there is no power going into the TV.

Black Vertical Bar

It will burn into the screen overtime. The Akai units have a resistor on the address board that feeds the PDP that usually has a crack in the solder on one or both ends of it. There are about 4 address boards that are right below the panel itself and the suspect one is the board right below the line that is appearing. Have someone with solder skills repair it.
