Hi.my home theatre Panasonic,when I put on its show F16,and then go off
If your getting an f16 error it is a problem with your speaker connections . Are you sure its not a f61 this is a fan issue and will shut the home theatre off but the f16 wont . You just wont have sound
Hi @ glenturret, Is it possible that the model number is not SA-8TT350 but is actually SA-BTT350? Also is it possible that the error code is f76 and not f16? If it is a SA-BTT350 and the error code is f76 then here is a link to the troubleshooting section of the service manual for a Panasonic SA-BTT350P Home theatre system describing what the causes may be. Hopefully it is close enough to your model (if yours is a SA-BTT350) to be of some help.
F61 is a fan error. The machine switches off if the fan stops. Basically you just need to oil the fan bearing. WD40 is as good as anything. To get at it just peel back the circular sticker and you’ll see it. One squirt and you’re sorted. In the case of the SA-HT990 you don’t even need to open the unit up, just unscrew the fan housing and pull it apart. There’s usually two fans. So check them both.
Hi @Roy Saviour According to the service manual for the player an F61 error code (see p.25) means a Power circuit system failure and/or direct current flown to speaker terminal. Go to p.19 to view the Power supply test points. For a possible direct current flown to speaker terminal problem, check if there is a DC voltage on the player’s speaker terminals. Normally DC is not passed through to the speakers, as this would damage them. Only the AC audio signal is sent. The DC is usually blocked by a decoupling capacitor (see p.78 for the block schematic - unfortunately it isn’t very detailed. Hopefully this is of some help.
