Review the reference U61 in the user manual or maintenance, its posible that its needs format special or type of dvd-ram, This failure apparently is very common in this brand Panasonic.
you will think twice when You will go to buy Panasonic.
try cleaning the OPTICAL LENS directly with a Qtip , gently rub , try again , the code U61 means a self test procedure that the unit is running according to PANASONIC tech people, good luck , AJ
U-61 is a hardware error code. Usually means main board failure, however have found that a bad changer can also trigger that code since it connects directly to the main board.
From User guide: U61 • There was a power failure or the AC plug was disconnected while the unit was on. The unit is carrying out its recovery process. This process restores the unit to normal operation. The unit is not broken. Wait until the message disappears.
If fail unplug and hold power button for a minute or two and turn it on and repeat.
The manual refers to the U61 as being a recovery mode. Have you left it at U61 for a period of time while it tries to recover? U61 ≥There was a power failure or the AC plug was disconnected while the unit was on. The unit is carrying out its recovery process. This process restores the unit to normal operation. The unit is not broken. Wait until the message disappears. You could always try to force it into standby mode and back out again: Press [í/I, POWER] on the main unit to switch the unit to standby. Now press [í/I, POWER] on the main unit again to turn the unit on. If that doesn't take care of it, everything thing I've found points toward a replacement of components inside the system by a repair service. Hopefully you are still under warranty!
Hi, there was no solution to my problem with the error code U61, having talked to a Panasonic repair center it would cost £180.00 to fix this unit as the board and DVD recorder have to be replaced as one unit. It would cost me around £160.00 to buy a new one so there was no point in having it repaired.
