How old is it?
I've never really heard of something like that. I have a pre-amp that won't work with the remote unless it's turned on at the box. Sometimes the kids turn it off at the box, then remote doesn't work etc. Your problem sounds similar so it might be a switching problem or it's getting low power and turning itself off.
What happens if you unplug and replug it in from the wall? Does it act the same? Could be a low power problem. What else is on the circuit? Anything running when it happened? Air conditioner or microwave?
The unit is only about 4 years old. I've contacted Pioneer, but got no help because they say it's out of warrantee. The TV has a main power switch in which you have to turn on before it will function. The Remote and the TV has a secondary power switch. So when you turn off the TV from the remote, there are actually some residual power going through the TV.
I am not sure what else is on the same circuit. I will have to check on that. But this has only been happening this month and nothing new had been added to the circuit. I suspect that it might be a low power problem. I will need to measure it and see what's going on next time it goes off. Thanks for your help!
