Folks, this person is telling the truth. My first PDP4225M died in January 2008. When I wnet to turn it off, it shocked me, and then no loger turned on. It took me 6 months and 1 - 2 phone calls PER WEEK to get them to give me a new set. No fooling. My replacement did the same thing 3 weeks ago in March 2009. However you can no longer call Akai AND they do not return emails. I love this monitor, but DO NOT BUY ONE!
Thanks,

You can't post conmments that contain an email address.
the fact that you got shock is because something is not right inside the tv. You need to have that tv check because a manufacturer will not fabricated a tv that can electrocute anyone, specially when you turn the volume. Static electricity is always present in front of any tv that might be the cause of why you got shock. By removing your coat, and touch some metallic object you may get electrocuted, because of static electricity. Please, I want you to have that tv check, I can check that tv for you. I felt something is wrong inside the tv, and something is loose inside like pennies and toys objects. That's my impression. My e-mail address [email protected]

Hello First of all, you must ahve its original remote control to unlock FPA lock.

Hello Blindrid,
What I would suggest you do is Press your MENU button on the tv remote, Then down to SOUND and then Turn the AUTO VOLUME to OFF. Then come out of the menu screen.
Just to check that it has all work correctly. turn you volume upto a certain number for example 25
Then turn your TV off the turn it back on. Wait until it is displaying a picture then press the volume button Once either up or down and you should see that it will go to 24 or 26 depending on what button you pressed for the volume. This will keep your volume set to whatever you had it on before you turned the tv off.

,,always unplug the set from AC,leave off a few minutes,,then re-plug back in,,that resets the micro--also,it could be the volume up button stuck-that would kill the other keys from working--you could try with a tooth pick to pull VOL UP back----THIS IS DANGEROUS --SHOCK HAZZARD!!! if someone is technically incline,with the back of the tv off,,turn set on and unplug the keyboard plug from the main circuit board while the set is playing--then use the remote and see if the fuctions returned-THIS IS DANGEROUS-SHOCK HAZARD---I REPEAT -DANGEROUS!!!! PLEASE BE CARFULL,if that cures the problem-you have a bad keyboard-you can just leave it unplugged and use the remote----JUST BE CARFULLLLLLL
