I have an SA-AK20 Panosonic Stereo System. When I turn it on sometimes it plays for 20 secs and shuts off F61. Other times it will play for an hour or sometimes 5 hours..Shuts off on it's own.

SOURCE: television shuts itself off

i had the same problem with my set shutting off and was told it may be the ballast so i changed that but it still would start up and shut down after a few mins, then i was asked if the bulb had been changed and i had not, so i did change the bulb and have not had it shut down yet. :) (so try a new bulb)

HELLO

As far as I can know, F61 means your output IC is dead. Contact a service centre in your locality for repair!
