Repeated F61 fault code on Panasonic Home cinema system Model: SA-PT660

Hi
this error comes when you keep your device powered all the time.
Definition: power is constant to components always on so it heats up.
look for condensers that are popped up or seems to be
change it with same type and voltage

Good Luck

As sugested by many experts.I replaced the ic no rsn311w 64d,still the error code f61 appears.Now where is the fault.?
this is for the Panasonic sa-ht 880.

Error code ' F61 ' on most Panasonic models indicate that the built-in diagnostics has sensed a fault at the output stage. This would normally refer to a failed output amplifier IC (?P/N RSN704D66P?). In some instances, the fault could also be triggered by:

• strands of Speaker wires inadvertently touching each other;
• faulty speakers;
• failed Cooling Fan of the output IC.

Options then are:

• consider a DIY (do-it-yourself) repair only if familiar with electronic components & circuitry, use of a DVM/VOM and a soldering iron. Access to a Service manual would be an advanatge;
• seek the services of an authorized service center specially if the unit is still under warranty;
• consider other options based on downtime, cost of repair, parts of availability, age of unit and prices of comparable but newer models.

Good luck

Hello.
I have a Panasonic HT-75 codes It F61 appears. What is the problem?

Hello

F 61 error means the failure of FAN
most probably dust in the fan made it to stop working so clean the dust and connect the fan to an external supply of 12v(using red and black wire) for 5 minutes and reconnect it to the unit otherwise replace the fan with new one.
Surely this will solve the problem.


Kind regards
Andrea

Sorry to hear about your error code F61

This code refers to a High Limit Temp. condition.
This is most likely caused by the cooling fan.
If the Fan has stopped running or not running at full speed, you will recv. this error message and the temp. reaches high-end limit.
Please check the cooling fan, any possible air flow restrictions and correct running RPM.

Hope this information has helped you.
Readers, please rate your technicians information.
Thanks,

you need a code 234634
it is wary simple to fix

if the code dosent work the there is

Hi,

F61 error codes could either be IC501 or the regulator (IC502) in the power supply section.

For reference, pls view these two (2) posts here and here of similar concern on other models.

Other possibilities are:
1. fan not turning;
2. cold solder;
3. looses connections;
4. one of the other components/systems hooked up to the power supply is causing a fault (tuner, disc player).

Hope this be of additional help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

i had the same problem with the error code f61.There are 2 fans,1 external and 1 internal and were both working but were very clogged up with dust thus working harder.Try cleaning them both it worked for me on the SA-HT 990 model

i think it means that the cooling fan is faulty.
