Jonathan Baldry October 2016 Fiona 68 you are a genius thanks Ron January 2016 Disconnect from mains, remove metal case cover (four silver screws on sides and three black screws on back) Remove metal plate/cover off top of dvd drive (another four silver screws which are tight !). Clean the dvd spindle with isopropyl alcohol and several cotton buds until the buds come away clean. Do the same for the cap (on the inside of the lid) that rests on top of the spindle if it looks dirty. While you are at it, give the laser lens a GENTLE rub with another clean cotton bud. Be carefully on reassembly the edges of the metal cabinet are SHARP ! After re-assembly and subsequent switch-on insert unformatted Panasonic RAM disc abfpd format it. Leo November 2015 I had the U61 error come up on my tv screen and it just wouldn't disappear not matter what I did. I came on to read everyone's advise and help and found that putting in a blank dvd upside down it came up saying the disc was dirty, then I put it up the right way and it came up saying about getting it formatted. So I took the disc out and put another one in and that solved the whole problem. Thank you so much everyone for your helpful hints.... much appreciated Many Thanks Fiona from New Zealand Fiona68 August 2015 My Panaso

I've had no problems until yesterday when this began : Every time the unit is turned on I see "Hello" panasonic dvd on the display screen, shortly followed by "U61". The operating instructions say "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." But in my case, after a brief period of "sound blips" I get this message on the TV screen : "Self check failed. Press ENTER, then the unit will open panasonic dvd recorder the tray and power off automatically. If this message appears frequently, please refer to the Product Service section in the operating instructions." I've tried unplugging the recorder and after several minutes replugging - doesn't help. The Panasonic web site says that to get approved Panasonic service I would need to go 177 miles to Chicago (I live in Indianapolis). Has anyone owning this or similar model had this trouble? Is it fixable? One year and two months is a very short lifetime for a DVD recorder that has been only lightly used, and never abused.

Don't know if this will help, but could be worth a try... (Note: this is a quote. I didn't do this myself, so don't ask me any questions about it. Just thought it might be something you could look at...) I took out the 4 screws holding the DVD drive top in place. And then moved the drive head mechanism back (pushed it towards the back of the unit). I then plugged the power in, turned it on, and amazingly there was no more U61 error. I test the unit this morning again and everything seems to work properly again! "I've learned that life is one crushing defeat after another, until you just wish Flanders was dead!" --- Homer J.

I have the same message on mine and have had problems with TWO Panasonic DVD Recorders that I have purchased over the last year and a half. Please let me know: edited by ddp. Thanks!
