Z130BT no video out — AVIC411 Forum Archive

Posted Apr 27, 2011 · 03:19 UTC#1

I am installing my new Z130BT today and cannot get the video out to work. When I hook the video out to my rear monitors I get an awful hum and well as no video out signal. This worked fine with my Z3 but not with the Z130. Any suggestions? I have tried different video cables and also hooked up an external DVD directly to the rear monitors to make sure they still worked.

I got the video to work, now I just have the hum with the rear channel RCAs.

You have good grounds everywhere? Are the RCA's away from power cables?

If I disconnect the video RCA it goes away.

Then I would guess you have a ground loop.

The strange thing is that I did not have it with my Z3.

That is strange, not sure what would be different.

I am not going to mess with it. I think it's defective and I am going to return it. It won't display video out.

I'm confused:

I thought I had the video out working last night. It would never send a signal out to the headrest monitors, just a hum to the audio chanels. I tested it everway known to man and the diagnosis IMO is that the unit is defective. I pulled it and boxed it back up to return to online car stereo.

Ahh ok

So Onlinecarstereo.com sends me videos of them testing my Z130BT with no issues. They told me I did not have the accessory box plugged in and that is why the video out did not work and that is why I have the hum in the sub channel. I think something is wrong here. Can anyone comment on if this is accurate?

"Your receiver was tested and found to be free of defect. You can see video proof here:

Please note the serial number for your receiver in the video: KCTM003758UC The issues you experienced were most likely caused by incompetence on your installer's part. In the future, please have your car audio equipment installed by a professional. Also for the record, Pioneer's Z130BT is the first 100 series receiver that includes a filter which is required for operation. If this filter (small gray box) was not installed (even for a simple bench test) the receiver will not function properly. This is the most common installation error with the the pioneer 5000 series receivers which always included the filter box. "

BTW, this is not my first install. I have been installing systems since the Punch 45 days. I am using the ASWC steering wheel remote interface.

That box they show is the ND-TMC10 traffic tuner, it has nothing to do with video output.

It does seem to be working, but it's not due to the traffic tuner.

So what do you think think the issue is? I also have a GMOS-01 in it as well.

I got my unit back an installed it today with no problems. I am not sure what the issue was.
