AS THIS INF. DIRECTLY RELATED TO FUNAI AS WELL IT SHOULD BE OF GREAT INTEREST Hi Gord, I just uploaded two bulletins regarding the diagnostic codes for the Hitachi VCR's with the led sensor problem.. The  models they cover are VT-MX211A,, VT-M221A,, VT-MX411A,,VTMX421A,, VT-MX421AC, VT-MX424A, VT-FX600A, VT-FX601A. It should be helpful in troubleshooting these models for other problems too.. Also the service Bulletin from hitachi dealing with the led light source problem. Both in .pdf format.
