Hello.
I had a similar problem with my DMR-ES15 a little over 2 years ago, and, I too, could not find a solution. I resorted to sending it off to Panasonic for their 'out of warrantee' repair, for a hefty price. (I could have bought new, but really liked the features of the ES15.) Panasonic repaired it, and it worked well for another 2 years. Just recently, 3 weeks ago, it died it's second death, with the same issue. I wish I had a solution for both of us, but it seems it is a failure which cannot be repaired by the consumer. I had seen a previous post, which has a suggestion of looking for '2 failed capacitors', but no other information, not even where these capacitors are located in the machine. I enterd a post myself, but have received so solutions/suggestions, and I don't even see my post on this site anymore. I'm a little disappointed with 'Fixya'...
If I find any new information, I'll be sure to post it.
I'm having a similar problem, error message U61 keeps showing up. The problem started after buying some different disks than I usually used, (Memorex +R) so got some more Sony (-R) which have always worked perfectly before but the problem now persists.
I've cycled it through Self Checking 100 times with disks inserted and not, blank and not, recorded and not, no luck. I've unplugged it for hours, no luck.
Disks recorded before problem: about 450 over 6 months. Not bad but a far cry from the performance I thought I'd get from this unit.
MY PANASONIC DMR-ES15 IS TOTAKKY OUT OF PHASE. STARTED WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO FINALIZE A RECORDED DISC AND NOW WON'T RECOGNISE ANY DISC.... RECORDABLE OR FACTORY MOVIE I HAVE DISCONNECTED AND LEFT AND THEN RETARTED HOPING TO RESET BUT NO. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO RESET IF IT IS POSSIBLE.
Interesting. I experienced this problem after trying to record to a +R DVD (same as PanaFan777). I've unplugged it, I've called panasonic who says send it in for service. It's 13 mos old so out of warranty and will cost me $130 to fix it from Panasonic. Any other ideas?
