Hi Georgina, F61 is
an error code(protect error code in other brand) for panasonic home theater
system. This will trigger if the unit gone to overload to avoid further damaged to other parts. This
code is quite technical if your not handy with electronics. However I will say
to you the common caused of this error code. 1. Output IC - this is the most common caused of the error
code. Once shorts happened to this IC, it will trigger the error code. Exposure
to high volume and/or running in the long time will caused this IC to shorts
and produce an overload. 2. Shorted Speaker - if one of your speakers shorts, error code
will appear also. This may isolate by disconnecting the speaker to the set and
play the unit *****. If the symptom still there the fault came from the unit
itself. 3. Shorted Inputs - inputs connector is also prone to shorts due
to frequent bending and pulling. To isolate this from fault, disconnect all the
inputs connected to the unit like the aux input, antenna, mic, etc. 4. Faulty power supply - once gone to out-of-regulation condition, the error code will appear to protect
the most expensive parts from further damaged. Bad solder joints in this section is also to consider. 5. Faulty Fan and its circuitry - F61 will appear only after a minute of
operation not upon powering on the unit. Check the fan if working or not... I
would advice you to send the unit to your local Panasonic service center and
leave the expert isolate the symptoms. Also,
check if your unit is under warranty period, avail it because the manufacturer will fix it
forfree. Hope
I helped you. Good luck and have a great day! Jdvillanueva
