Several components in the power supply maybe faulty, especially Tranisitor Q5110, Resistor R5114 and Diode D5102 on the power supply board. Check and replace these and also resolder the regulator IC's on the heatsink.

At power on, displays F61 code and switches off

F61 is an error code.
It will automatically shuts down your unit.
This is very common on your unit.

Try to checked if the fan is working or not.
I have repaired some unit before, this is the caused why f61 appeared.
The symptom is shutting down the unit after a few minute.
If the fan is not working it will shuts off automatically to avoid further damaged to your output I.C. from overheating.

If confirmed that the fan is working then I've suspect that your output I.C./pre-amplifier circuit is faulty.
This is quit technical and need to send to repair shop to isolate the faulty parts.
The output IC of your unit is RSN series and quite expensive.

Pls rate my help.

Thaks for using fixya...

I got panasonic- sa-ak240 stereo system i get F61 on the display then it shuts down to standbye.

F61 is an Error Code......it's basically indicating that something inside the stereo is malfunctioning or broken.

the stereo has gone into Protection mode.....could mean there is Direct Current on one of the output rails....most likely the Power Amplifier IC in your Stereo has gone bad....a new one should solve this problem....you'll need to send it in to Panasonic for replacement of the faulty parts.

F61? how do i fix it...................everytime i turn my panasonic sc-ak340 on i get a error code that reads f61 and then my system shuts down by itself..can this be fixed?

I've encountered that kind of problem.
f61 appear on the screen then shuts down the unit.
The very common defect is your fan, output ic (rsn series).
First check the fan if it is in good condition (disassembling the component is quite technical it need a lot of care).
sometimes the fan is full of dirt that's why it will not work properly which the system sense and uttered the unit to switch of avoid further damaged.
If you confirm that the fan is working properly I will suggest you to bring your unit to a qualified technician/service center because replacing the output i.c. is more technical.

Sa-ht680 service manual

The F61 indicates protect mode. There is a problem with the output stage of the amplifier section and the unit shuts down to prevent further damage. This unit will require service of the amp section. You can try to contact Panasonic for the service manual.

The output amp pac is an RSN311W64D at a cost of $95 plus shipping.

F61

Hi, I'll quote directly from the service manual Error display - F61 Problem condition - When POWER is switched on, power become off automatically. During normal operation, if DC DET become L, PCNT shall become L and the error display on the left shall be displayed. (IC501) What *I* think that they are trying to say is that the protection circuit will activate if DC appears on the speaker terminals. IC501 the audio output chip may be faulty.
