phil most of the Pioneer screens that I've seen can be removed from the front to access the mirror. If the speaker grill does not come off easily then they use 2 covers , 1 each side along the division between the screens and spkr grill on either side of the control button assembly. remove covers and Phillips screws....Peter Keith's Stereo burl ON pe.kow@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Phil Bader Sent: July 28, 2005 10:38 AM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Pioneer SD-P501Q projo(1988year) top foldover,occassionally "blinks" FIX First, the set reportedly would "blink" occassionally said customer. I noticed it may blink,and the OSD channel number would reappear when it did. I seem to have traced it to a front switch "TV-CATV Selector", for tuning model, HRC,CATV,broadcast....Every time I touched it, it blinked.Cleaning it seems to have cured it. The fold over with about 3 inches retrace was fixed by replacing vertical output : ic501 (an5521) AND AN E-CAPnext to the IC (c608?), 100UF@35v. I focused it,liiks good.BUT: no orig. remote so can not access menu for color,tint,etc. *Question: can I take the rear mirror cover off to get to the mirror for cleaning without damage? I see no warning on this 1988 set*. Phil -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc. (estab. 1976) 3420 Recker Hwy.
