I've tried searching for answers to this issue, but didn't find anything relevant...
I just installed my PDP-6010FD on Saturday and am loving it so far, with one minor exception. Namely, it occasionally shuts itself off with the front-panel red led flashing an error code, 8 blinks, pause, repeat.
I've been able to get the TV turned back on by disconnecting power, waiting for a minute, then plugging it back in and powering it up.
This has happened 3 or 4 times to me so far and, I have to say, is awfully frustrating.
Anyone have any idea what error this particular code represents?
I've already called Pioneer and a local service company, but I'd like to have as much information at my disposal as possible, prior to the service call.
And, in case it may be relevant, the shutdowns have occurred while watching HDTV via HDMI connection from a Time Warner Cable/Motorola DCH3416 set top box.
Thanks,
Dan W.
UPDATE 1/22: service techs were just here and took a look at my set and proclaimed the issue to be a bad power-supply, but I don't have 100% confidence in their diagnosis as my red-blinking LED error code didn't exactly match what they were expecting as an indication of a bad power-supply. Now I have to wait for the new power-supply before knowing if they were right or wrong. Sure wish I knew the factory error codes. :-(
