John as every one wrote it here, most likly you 'll need to replace the power regulator, yes it will fix it....at least in my case $23 and a half hr soldering fix it. stk470-50a what I replaced Oh yes please don't buy PANASONIC ever, 2 of my old Technics work fine, me idiot want DVD/AMP?AM?FM? combo with this junk little speakers..... ggggggrrrrr,

I have replaced STK470-05A power IC. But still I am getting the error code F61. The unit was working before and the only problem was the fan not working and stereo was playing but no sound.All 4-side speakers working but no centre speaker sound. Can any one email me a power circuit diagram.

something wrong in the power amp side normally shorted speaker connector Matthew

I'm working on a SC-HT75 DVD HOME THEATER SOUND SYSTEM with a F61 error. First I changed the Main amp module. $46.00 Same error. Then I got the service manual cd from panasonic. $20.00 Finally I found the voltage regulator bad. Part #STK470-050A $14.00

Friends, i've a similar DVD player and my problem is other. It's can't play DVD ou CD!!! In the begining, just didn't regonize the midias. The message is "no play". A friend bought a similar too and the problem is the same. She pay almost US$100.00 to repair. I will do it. Putz!!!

Recently, I got this "No DISC" error code whenever I insert a disc in. I try to use a clean disc with a tiny sweep but no help. This happens to all 5 disc changer. Please help Thanks

I had the same problem with my PANASONIC SA-VK 550 !! the F61 error. I went crazy searching for the instructional manual but I didnt find it Until I came here . it made be known that the f61 error is realted to something to power so at that instance I started my system and carefully just tried moving the ac in put which goes to the system and to my utter disbelief it works fine now. I recomend u removing all ur speaker and surround speaker connection as well as the radio transmitter and try putting it on ( it really starts sometimes) .if not try the above method . it should work. I better belive giving your system for repairs if none of them work

HI, F61 IS A ERROR CODE. THIS PROBLEM IS IN OUT-PUT CIRCUIT.MANUAL FOR THIS MODEL IS AVAILABLE FOR $10/-. REGARDS UDAY

i just got the same error code from this walmart garbage panasonic dvd home theater. i don;t owne it very long and i rarely use it.... but i have a perfect fix for it. i'm going to go to a department store that sells the same / similiar panasonic home theater. i am going to buy it.. i am going to either put my old one in the new box and bring it back OR i am going to take the parts i need out of the new one and return it saying it doesnt work. i paid 500.00 bucks for this hunk of shiite and barely used it. i am going to get satisfaction one way or another. jes. si...
