funai continued adding new products in the new century, forming a partnership, in 2001, with ricoh to develop and produce a new range of cd - rw and dvd - rw devices. in 2003, the group decided to expand its production of large - screen, lcd - based screens, setting up its first manufacturing subsidiary in thailand. the new facility was already operational by the end of that year, with its capacity expected to reach 150, 000 units per month. funai' s proven record of flexibility and production expertise made it one of the lasting fixtures in the global home appliance industry .
40 years after the first vhs video cassette recorder rolled off the production line, the last known company making the devices is ceasing production. according to japanese newspaper nikkei, funai electric, a japanese consumer electronics company, will give up on the format by the end of the july after 30 years of production .
“a company that was making parts for us said it was too tough to keep making them with sales at this level so they stopped, which led to our decision - we can’t make them without that part, ” said funai electric, which has since been overwhelmed with desperate calls from japanese vcr tape owners .
vcrs nevertheless remained the group' s core product into the next decade. by the 2000s, funai was responsible for producing as much as 30 percent of the vcrs sold around the world. part of the reason for the group' s dominance of the sector was the increasing willingness of major appliance groups to abandon manufacturing of certain products in favor of oems like funai. in this way, the company picked up a new major customer, philips electronics, which turned over its electrovoice and philips brands to the company. the united states market, supported by a dedicated u. s. sales subsidiary established in 1991, remained the group' s core market, especially for its vcr and growing television / vcr combo set sales marketed under the sylvania and symphonic brands. since the late 1980s, however, funai had begun developing a higher - end line of appliances for the u. s. market which were sold directly under its own name .
philips announced that it had signed an agreement regarding the transfer of its audio, video, multimedia and accessories business to funai on january 29, 2013. since signing, philips said it “has been working hard to prepare the business for transfer in the second half of this year; this process has now been completed .
the last maker of vhs - compatible video cassette recorders, japanese manufacturer funai electric, says its going to stop producing the devices at the end of the month due to declining sales. sony said it would cease production of video tapes in its betamax format last year, 13 years after it stopped making compatible recorders .
alex akwueme federal university ndufu - alike (ae - funai) in ebonyi state of nigeria was founded on 26 th february, 2011. the university under the visionary and dynamic leadership of professor chinedum uzoma nwajiuba fasn, fnaae aspires to be a world class centre of learning and research that will be reputable nationally and internationally .
while funai' s larger competitors clung to the japanese labor market, funai turned more and more to the foreign market for its manufacturing needs in the 1990s. the liberalization of the chinese economy presented a particularly strong opportunity, and in the early years of the 1990s funai began construction on its first factories in china in order to take advantage of that country' s vast labor pool and extremely low wages. in 1992, the company established a new subsidiary, highsonic industrial ltd. , in hong kong to provide management oversight for the group' s mainland production facilities. the first of these began operations in april 1992 in dong guan, in the guand dong province. by december of that year, the group' s second chinese plant opened, in chang ping. moving closer to its core american market, the company also opened a manufacturing base in mexico. in 1994, the company added its third chinese plant, in zhong shan, also in guand dong province .
while the bread - making machine quickly inspired competing models, funai swiftly capitalized on its new name recognition in its home country, bringing to japan its line of vcrs and other products, which included microwave ovens, telephones, fax machines, satellite antennas, and set - top boxes. by 1988, with domestic sales now representing 10 percent of the group' s total - - up from zero the year before - - funai began plans to launch a wider array of 30 new products, nearly all of which were specially developed for the japanese market. in this endeavor, the company was helped by the japanese consumer' s growing passion for all things electronic .
for lexmark customers and distributors, there will not be a disruption of service or support as they continue to work directly with lexmark. funai will become a manufacturer of lexmark’s aftermarket inkjet supplies. lexmark will continue to support its installed base of customers in the sale of aftermarket inkjet supplies and will continue to provide customer technical and warranty support .
the university is one of the nine new federal universities that were set up by president goodluck ebele jonathan gcfr on the 26th of february 2011 in order to expand access to quality education to all parts of nigeria and to produce knowledge that will support the nation’s economy and its industries. here at ae - funai our focus is on excellence and integrity .
in return, the kentucky economic development finance authority “preliminarily” approved tax incentives for funai worth around $ 1. 2 million (€885, 021) through its kentucky business investment programme, a performance - based incentive that allows companies to “keep a portion of [ their ] investment over the term of the agreement through corporate income tax credit and wage assessments” .
for the most recent nine months of its fiscal year, funai reported net sales of 174 billion yen, down 6. 4 percent year - over - year. operating income of 1 billion yen, up 218. 5 percent year - over - year, and net income of 4 billion yen, up 126. 8 percent year - over - year .
the federal university ndufu alike ikwo (funai) is a new and modern campus based university located in ebonyi state, the eastern part of nigeria. the university, under the leadership of distinguished professor oye ibidapo - obe (former president nigerian academy of science), aspires to be a world class university recognised for the delivery of intellectually rigorous, cutting - edge research and excellent teaching and learning .
at its peak, funai electric sold as many as 15 million vcrs per year, but last year only sold 750, 000 units. that vcrs were sold at all still comes as something of a surprise, not only because vcr has been superseded by two far superior formats—dvd and blu - ray—but hard disk - based personal video recorders have rendered its one advantage, the ability to record content easily, obsolete .
yukio funai is named chairman of the board and tadashi moto’ori becomes the company’s second president. the company transforms itself away from its former focus on logistics, which held sway during the 1970s and 1980s, and repositions itself as a provider of professional services. the ability of each individual to act autonomously and adapt to changing circumstances rather than waiting for instructions from superiors proves to be the key to a successful transformation .
while funai' s growth was based on analog technology, the company recognized the growing importance of new digital technologies, particularly dvd players and recorders. thus, the company began developing its competence in digitally based appliances, with a special interest in lcd - based televisions, projectors, and dvd players. by 2002, the company had begun to shift its product mix ahead of a future exit from analog technologies altogether .

the funai (i had never heard of this brand before i purchased this) seems to work well as advertised. if recording from vcr to dvd make sure that you use the unit to format your disks. recording from vhs to dvd is a slow process as you record at the same speed as playback so a 1. 5 hr tape will take 1. 5 hrs to record to dvd. i prefer using dvd - rw media as after finalising i can then take the file (the file format of this unit is vob) to my pc and convert the vob files (it makes one file per gb of data) to any preferred video format. i can then erase the dvd - rw and re - format in the funai and record a new vhs tape. the converted file can be edited then be written to any dvd. the unit comes with remote, batteries, rca cables (red, white, yellow) manual and quick guide. there is no hdmi cable included .
