Unit getting progressively worse. Was intermittant now happens quite
often.
Comes on, then either a few seconds or several minutes later will shut
off. Must reset main on/off switch on the TV to make come back on.
Remote will not turn it on when this happens.
Any source for a schematic or tip on problem would help.
Thanks

With a Pioneer of this age, inspect all the solder joints on the
ps/deflection board and resolder the bad ones. there will be many. Also
check the joints on the convergence panel under the front grille. More than
likely just a bad solder joint, however the condition you indicate is the
proper operation of the powerdown/protection circuit.

When the set shuts off is there anything at all unusual about the picture?
