My Panasonic mini system died last weekend. It just shuts off
immediately with a "F61" error upon powering up. I tried replacing the
fuse, but that didn't appear to be the issue. Research on Usenet
suggests that the output IC may be bad(?)

Is this something which I might be able to easily fix myself? If so,
does anyone know where I might be able to find a service manual or
diagrams for this unit?

If I need to take this to a repair shop, how much might a repair cost?

Thanks,

Ir you're in the U.S Panasonic's phone number is

800-833-9626

Their audio manuals are pretty resonably priced.

I was curious if you've fixed the problem? (if you haven't, i appologize
for getting your hopes up with this "i have the same problem" post). But
yeah, mine crapped out yesterday, and i reeeally don't want to take it to
a repair shop if its theres easy solution, since it'll probably cost me
just to have someone "look at the problem". Any info you have would be
appreciated.
