Hey all, 1st post.

Have a P7500DVD - 80DVD setup, was working fine with CNDV-21 disc.

Over the weekend, I threw in a burned copy of the 50MT disc that a buddy of mine made for me. I think he screwed up on the burn b/c now I've got vertical bars showing up on screen when the display is showing the 80DVD. It will show the boot/splash screen, then vertical garbage.

I've done the search and know how to get to the service menu, but I can't enter the password by the method detailed on the site b/c no remote came with the 80DVD, and it doesn't have an IR port.

How do I get into the service menu to force a firmware re-write?

What if I just went and bought the 70MTP discs? Would that update the firmware and get me back up and running?

The 70 disks should work fine in it

I know that they will work, what I want to know is if anyone knew for sure that if I bought the discs, the system would be working again?

How would "they" know? It works in others, but you may have a problem with yours from putting in a poorly burned pirated disk

Well I guess it's worth a shot.

Question still stands: does anyone know how to get into and navigate the 80DVD service menu?

It's not possible. You need the remote to get into the service menu. I've been trying to find one on eBay for years, they go for top dollar. I have seen them go for over $100, too much for me.

I picked up another AVIC-9DVD that will come with the remote. I plan to capture the codes to where you can program them into a <$10 JP1 remote. If you don't know what a JP1 capable remote is, there is more info here.

Kewl, let me know if you extract the codes, would love to have a <$10 option.

Looks like I can get a cxb9118 from Pioneer for $90, but that seems ridiculous.

I have the same problem. I even have a remote and managed to get into the service menu and do a format. Still vertical bars. Can anyone help or think of something? Possible ground problem? Any ideas?

Come on, help me someone, or at least try to!

Hey White Knight what remote did you use to do that...I currently am using the CD-R55 and it would not let me enter the service code numbers!!
