The u61 code is a common code on your unit. It signifies an issue with the DVD controller board. The problem is that it will probably cost more to fix the issue than the player is worth. Some techs had luck with dis-assembling the unit and resetting the optical block. If you have the tools and experience you can take the unit apart, disconnect all of the cables and move the optical block back. The error message is defined as the unit either suffering a power outage or being unplugged while it was on. The unit then tries to run it's own recovery program. More often than not the unit will make some noises, then display a message stating the recovery did not work, and advising you to take the unit to your local Panasonic repair center. Some owners had luck with unplugging the unit for a couple of hours, then plugging it back in and switching it back on.
In closing, if the unit displays the message that it did not recover you can then try and unplug for 2 hours. IF that doesn't work then dis-assemble and move the optical block. Failing that pay for a repair.
These steps should allow you to resolve your issue. If you do have further problems please don't hesitate to let us know. Thank you for the opportunity to assist you in resolving your issue.
