every time i power up my panasonic sa-ht75 home theater system i get the F61 code displayed any ideas

F61 faultcode.
Add a capacitor of 10nF to the internal fan.
Remove the fan, open the fan casing and add a capacitor across the motor connections.
This will help and solves a lot of F61 fault codes to a big variety of technics sets.

I JUST UNPLUGED ALL THE POWER SUB/RECEIVER. THEN PLUGED IN THE RECEIVER THEN THE SUB POWER. TURNED THE UNIT ON AND OFF IT SHOULD WORK.

I had the same code error on my SC-HT810V Home Theater Sound System. I turned off the power, no luck. Unplugged the unit from the serger box, no luck. Hooked up the speakers according to the manuel, no luck (I had them hooked up to what sounded better to us.) Then I unplugged the system from the power serger box and directly into the wall. No luck again! So, being 6 months pregnant and getting frustrated from squeezing behind the fish tank to get to the surrround sound wiring, I held down the power button on the main unit. It clicked off and on about 12 times while the whole time I was holding down the power button. It seemed to reset the unit. I had to turn it off and on again as I cound not control the volume. Then everything returned to normal. Good luck to you. If it don't work, let a pregnant lady try.

as per manual; 'check and correct the speaker cord connections.(refer page 7 of manual)
if this does not fix the problem, there is a power supply problem. consult the dealer.'

F61 for SAHT75 = Power amplifier output error or power supply circuit error.

Supply voltage for IC501 (Power Amplifier).
Approx. +60.0V dc at pins 3 & 20.
Approx. -60.0V dc at pins 4 & 21.

A qualified engineer may check the above voltages.
