PDP-6020FD Buzzing and such

[Lost Johnny]

Just got my brand new Pioneer PDP-6020FD, Plugged it in and got no picture at all, and a very disturbing buzzing sound, just black screen and buzz, shut it off right away. Has anyone else had this problem?

Return it!!

I might have to, I am hoping it is a power source issue, of course I get it the day before thanksgiving, it is no small thing pacing up a 60 inch TV and having the company who brought it come pic it up, pain in the butt to be sure. I am just wondering if this happens with other Pioneer TV's.

um...that shouldn't happen with any TV.

I know that some reviewers were reporting a slight buzzing sound but not something distracting and it should only be detectable when everything is dead silent...

Another thing, I read that in higher altitude, plasma displays make a buzzing sound... Perhaps if you live somewhere high enough this might be your problem.

Edit: I don't think Minnesota is really high... Anyway, I would return it and see if the demo model has the same buzzing...

they buzz a bit depending on whats on the screen, if theres alot of white they tend to buzz more atleast mine does,
nothing shows on urs u said?
is there a blu light in the lower left corner when u turn it on?

This is "normal" and not dangerous. Turn down contrast some and you dont stress the powerwhateverthingie and the sound should go away\quieter.
IF the buzz is there after calibration i would give pioneer a call.

I told the good people at Pioneer what happened. They insisted, based on what I said that the TV was damaged by delevery people. I did not see any damge and still don't, according to them I must take all this up with the people who brought it. Why would I lie about this? If the delevery people cracked it I would have seen it, for gods sake I don't buy $3800 items all the time you bett your a%# I looked at it! Needless to say the shippers were not happy, I don't blame them. The last word from East coast shippers is they are filing some sort of conceled damage clain and the TV is to be picked up and I will get a new one. That's what I am told, let's see what happens.....any advice from anyone else with similar problems is appreciated.

Sorry this happen to you. As a last resort option if things do not work out and you placed the order on a credit card you can call the credit card company and decline charge do to merchant issues.
Hopefully everything will be resolved.

Did you buy the TV through the internet or an actual store?
