Friends, This one looks like a bad tuner. Feeding the AUX input from a VCR, the set works fine. Replaced the tuner, problem remains. I think it is just missing a voltage to the tuner, but have not been able to find it. Tried the Hitachi website, but no schematic available. I believe the chassis is VP8X. Made in 1990. If someone has the manual for this set, would appreciate a partial schematic with tuner voltages, or the source and path of the +33 volts (assumed) to the tuner. This is a shop set, but fixing it for sale could help pay the rent!
