    Hello There, I have the same problem with my new Pioneer Elite 110FD. While watching TV via my HDTV converter box, the power sudenly turns off and the power indicator blinks several times and the gray box with a text PLASMA DISPLAY STARTING UP appears for about 15-20 seconds... Then the display is restored. My TV is just 4 weeks old and it happened to me 2x already. It's like an intermittent error where you cannot predict when it will happen again. Pioneer Plasma Tech Support is also cluecless about this error. Any help or suggestions please?

Un plug the power to the Plasma Screen and also to the Media Receiver for ten minutes. Disconnect the off the air antennas both A and B. After ten minutes plug in the plasma screen then the media receiver and turn on wi the remote control. You should now be back in operation. I was.
Also It may not be a bad digital tuner. The TV Guide feature is active even when the zip code is set to all 0s so if you have an over the air antenna attached the TV will look for the TV Guide info and if it can not find it because of a weak signal or the chanel it is tuned to does not carry that information the TV thinks that tuner does not work which triggers the 12 flashes. Also on power up the gray box with the waring message "Plasma Display Starting Up, Please Wait" appears and the screen is blank.

Restart your tv by unplugging the tv box from the power source/wall. Also,double check that all the plugs in the back of the tv box are secure. I did this and it fixed my problem.

Best plasma TV HDMI

None.All Plasma tvs designs are alway have high heat output and consume alot more A/C power energy than any other tvs designs out there.Tvs like CRT-tube tvs,DLP tvs -Projection tubes and projection lamps tvs,LCD-flourescent tubes tvs as Liquid crystal display screen tvs.All these tvs designs are all good tvs designs to buy but the pictures display and screen lighting and the sharpness of the pictures never have and able to compare high enough qualities as a display picture on the screen output to a Plasma screen tvs,until now LED-tvs are LCD and LED screen display combine to make it better and brighter technologies and now are good enough to compare to a Plasma screen panel tv.So buy a LED tv will get less heat output and comsume less A/C power energy too and it is good enough pictures qualities too.To compare too as a plasma screen panel tvs output.
