Unit worked earlier in the day, went to take a DVD out and hit the power button only to hear a click followed by another click. No display came on at all, the red AC led is on indicating it's getting line in. I pulled the cover off and tried powering it up, clicking sound is coming from a relay on the board by the AC plug. What is most likely the problem, the relay or the power supply?
Take the cover off and check both fan connections. I did this and it turned out to be a loose connection causing the F61 error. Also, check to see if the fans move even just a bit when you turn the unit on. If only one moves then you may have a burnt fan, if neither move you have a major problem. If they both move continue checking connections, loose solders etc. If all else fails, but a new one.

I took the DVD out of the unit. The next time I tried to use the unit, F61 appeared on the unit. It would not stay on and the DVD player would not open.
I too am getting the error F-61 on my Panasonic SA-HT67.
While watching a DVD it gave out a pop sound and shut down. From then on when ever I try to turn it on, it gives me the F-61 and shuts down again. It even does this with nothing plugged into it.
