Unit says error F61 then
F61 usually means the amp has detected a short or a severe microprocessor error.
Generally speaking, an amp attempts to protect itself from heat, shorts, overloads and operator exuberance by refusing to turn on or stay on.
Overloads can be from excessive periods of high output or marginally low impedance loading by the speakers; and shorts would be wiring issues or a speaker blowing up.
You should be able to feel if it's hot. WHY is it overheating? Make sure it has sufficient ventilation on all sides and that vent holes are not blocked by dust balls. Ensure the fan (if equipped) is running as designed (some only operate on demand). Clean dust and debris from it.
If the amp comes back on after cooling, you're lucky. They only have so many self-protection cycles in their lives so continuously resetting or cycling their power without addressing the cause can do more harm than good.
If it protects immediately on a cool power up you should disconnect the speaker connections and try it 'naked'. If it comes up then diagnose which lead(s) are shorted. If it does not come up the problem is internal and should be left to an experienced and competent hands-on tech.
Check for loose speaker connections at the speaker as a root cause for intermittent shutdown.

When turning on F61 shows on the display and will
People say that it is a fan problem - when it gets stuck with dust or does not work properly the system recognizes it and gets blocked in order to prevent overheating of the components. I changed the fan but the problem with F61 presists despite people say that changing the fan would solve the problem.

The player will not play dvd's or cd's
Hello,
You probably need to have the DVD optical lens to be cleaned. You can also try to buy some CD lens cleaner discs from best buy.
I hope this helps. Thanks and good day.

Dvd will not play in dvd player but will play in computer
I don't know if I really find the solution but several burned discs I decide to burn a poor disc 8x instead my emtec 16x and voil'a the disc go on my SC-HT70. I suppose it doesn't support new type of discs with higher velocities even burned at a lower velocity (4x). If any one have another solution please let me know.
Also I know we can upgrade firmware of Panasonic but it can only be done by a technician and it's very expensive.
Thks
