The Asia Risk 2006 conference in November proved a very well attended and highly praised event. Pamela Tang and Joe Marsh report on who was there and what they said
With more than 200 delegates present, the 2006 Asia Risk conference was even better attended than the previous year's, and the bulk of the delegates were highly complimentary about the event, in terms of both general organisation and the content of the presentations. One described the event as a "beautiful symposium", while others were more prosaic - but equally lavish - in their praise. It was not hard to see why, given the impressive surroundings of Hong Kong's Island Shangri-La Hotel and the calibre of many of the speakers.
Bart Broadman, JPMorgan's former vice-chairman of Asia, opened the conference with a highly anticipated speech about the nascent credit derivatives market in Asia. Broadman is now managing director of Alphadyne Asset Management, a Singapore-based hedge fund focused on credit and interest rate arbitrage.
The debt market in Asia certainly seems big enough to support a strong CDS market, said Broadman, citing Monetary Authority of Singapore figures putting at $2.7 trillion the amount of bonds outstanding in the region. But until there is breadth and depth in the Asian credit default swap (CDS) and single-index markets, the region will always be a limited credit market, he said, pointing out that the Asian component of global credit portfolios or structures such as collateralised debt obligations tends to be very small.
Immature and illiquid
There are major barriers to using the same types of credit trading strategies in Asia as are employed in Europe and the US, mainly due to the market's immaturity and illiquidity, said Broadman. Commenting on the difficulties of executing even basic strategies like index arbitrage, he said: "The only credit index regularly quoted is iTraxx Asia, but only 70% of components are quoted on a regular basis, and to trade an index regularly you need them all to be quoted or you end up using a proxy-type basket, which is not so accurate."
Broadman summed up his views by saying: "It's only a slight exaggeration to say that the Asian CDS market is a virtual wasteland, and it will remain that way until meaningful liquidity enters the market."
Citing the illiquidity of Asia's credit markets, he said they would benefit from credit futures. "Something needs to happen with the help of an exchange, such as listed credit default swaps (CDSs) with simple binary-type payoffs. That would create a big risk pool and more transparency," said Broadman. "If a good exchange did this, hedge funds might become primary liquidity providers on such contracts."
His comments followed the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's early-November announcement that it intends to launch credit futures in the first quarter of 2007. The CME has thereby challenged Eurex - which itself plans to launch a CDS index - to become the first exchange to get a piece of what is now a $26 trillion over-the-counter market.
In response to questions from the audience, he highlighted several issues of concern in the credit derivatives market. One thing that needs tackling, said Broadman, is front-running - the practice of taking a position in the market with advance knowledge of a transaction that is likely to influence the market price. There may be "no Eliot Spitzer for the credit markets, no overarching regulator", he said "but front-running or potential insider trading is going to get a lot of scrutiny".
A Czech comparison
Another very interesting - and far-flung - speaker on the first day was Jan Barta, chief executive of CSOB Investment Co and CSOB Asset Management Group. He had made the trip from Prague to Hong Kong to speak on the structured product market in the Czech Republic, which is small, but, as in much of Asia and the rest of the world, growing very fast. For example, in 2005, around $20 billion Czech koruna ($949.5 billion) was invested in capital-guaranteed funds in the country - in the first half of 2006 alone, more than $30 billion had been invested in them.
"Interest rates were very low in 2003, so people were attracted by the good performance of the equity markets," said Barta. "Sterling or US dollar longer-tern rates exceeded Czrech koruna rates, so they offered a good environment for structured cap-guaranteed products."
He went on to say that the use of domestic currency in structured products offers diversification across asset classes. "Investors perceive diversification when using capital-protected structured products as well as bonds both psychologically and also from a purely technical point of view," said Barta. "These products can play the role of fixed income or close to fixed income within the investor's portfolio, as long as they are free of currency risk."
The first day continued with the theme of structured products - perhaps not surprisingly, given the explosive growth in volume of such investments in recent months. This time, it was a regulator's turn, when a senior official from Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) had much to say on retail structured investments.
Alexa Lam, the SFC's executive director of intermediaries and investment, outlined her concerns on product misselling - particularly to retail investors - giving several examples of problems she had seen. She also highlighted that it is not just banks that are seeing major growth in the selling of investment products, but insurance firms are increasingly selling insurance-linked products.
"We have been getting a lot of complaints from investors and have conducted a survey into the issues we should be addressing," said Lam. "We asked a selection of investment advisers whether they are addressing those issues." She was referring to an SFC survey published in late November, which found that many investors who bought unlisted, retail structured products for their perceived higher returns did not fully understand the nature of these products (see page 8).
Several issues emerged, she said. One was that many advisers do not carry out proper know-your-client procedures; they should be doing this not only to combat money-laundering, but also so that they can provide the products that are suitable for their clients, she said. "Some seem to think having a copy of the customer's ID card is enough," added Lam. "But you need a proper client profile and an understanding of their investment objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance. How can you advise customers to buy products otherwise?"
Another concern was that some push just one type of product, to any risk profile of client profile - usually the product that provides the adviser with the biggest return.
Day two
One of the major themes of the second day of the conference was another very topical subject: the Basel II capital adequacy accord. The lack of data poses a huge challenge for banks trying to calculate credit risk under Basel II, said Harald Scheule, senior lecturer of finance at the University of Melbourne, in a panel discussion. This is particularly true for banks pursuing the internal ratings-based approach, because it requires fundamental changes in the way banks collect data and estimate and validate their models, he added.
Although banks started collecting data shortly after the Asian financial crisis in 1997/98, the data only covers a few years of economic growth, with limited numbers of credit loss events. "Statistical hypothesis tests for calibration and discrimination require sufficient number of credit loss events, which are often not available," said Scheule.
Christopher Laursen, director in capital markets and trading risk at the US Federal Reserve Board in Washington, DC, agreed. "In the wholesale area, many firms haven't collected data for long periods of time in the way that credits are broken out in their Basel II rating systems. With limited data, robust model validations aren't possible."
On the question of Basel II limitations, Scheule said current Basel II proposals are a compromise between accuracy and practicability. "For the first time, banks' capital will be based on the credit risk inherent in the loan books to absorb future credit losses. To relax difficulties to implement the new set of rules, the Basel committee on banking supervision had to make a number of simplifications with regard to the nature of the risks covered (credit, market and operational risk), the specification of correlations or the assumption of granular portfolios."
Laursen also commented on the question of limitations on models, saying it is difficult to have a perfect model, even if it is customised for a particular institution.
And neither is stress-testing foolproof, added Laursen. "Are you getting to a right capital number for the risk that you're under taking? You might get a number that complies with the rules and makes sense, but you always have to think a little further and consider what could happen if there is real concentrated stress," he said. "Stress-testing is always some kind of estimate and you may estimate too high and you may estimate too low versus what actually happens."
Meanwhile, in another Incisive Media conference that immediately followed the Asia Risk event - Structured Products Asia 2006 - there was another presentation of note: on the legal aspects of structured products. There has been an unprecedented growth in derivative and structured products in China over the last 18 months but there are also challenges, said Chin-Chong Liew, partner and head of derivatives and structured products Asia ex-Japan at law firm Linklaters, in his executive address.
Liew also raised the issue of whether the sale and distribution of offshore securities in China would comply with its securities law. The regulation defines securities as shares, corporate bonds and securities designated by the state council, although the body has not designated any so far for this purpose, said Liew. "Foreign issued securities are foreign-currency denominated debt securities, not shares or corporate bonds, so it is not clear whether the securities law applies," he said.
Offshore financial institutions have been selling notes to qualified domestic institutional investor (QDII) banks, and in turn these banks sell products that are linked to the notes, said Liew. China announced the QDII scheme in April, which allows banks and corporates to invest Chinese funds in overseas fixed-income products. The China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) is amenable to this practice by offshore financial institutions, he said. The China Securities Regulatory Commission has not taken a view on this practice, because the QDII plan is believed to be regulated by the CBRC, said Liew.
Yet the regulators have not reacted as favourably to cross-border renminbi-denominated foreign exchange derivatives. In October, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (Safe) issued a circular stating that no domestic institution and individual should participate in any overseas renminbi derivative transactions without Safe approval.
This means banks must stop cross-border non-deliverable forwards and swap transactions, said Liew. He added that the informal view from Safe is that the regulator will not be taking any action on existing deals.

Srial# B10V3CML201129B. My Tv did the same thing turn on & off,now it does not turn on. the red light on the tv lights up but does not turn on.
I had white dots all over my television screen. I contacted Samsung's customer service (1-888-899-7602). I gave them the required information about the television and they gave me a number to the best electronic repair business they recommended. I contacted the business, scheduled an appointment for them to come out, and they took out the old chip and installed a new chip. The DLP looks/plays like a brand new tv!!! There was no CHARGE :-) I'm grateful and happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteI found the replacement chip online for $159. Going to swap it out over the weekend
DeleteOur HL61A750A1FXZA just joined the club. Called Samsung and all they could say is that "yours isn't on the list"...Sorry! Don't buy Samsung!
DeleteHL61A750A1FXZA just started getting white dots. Called and E-mailed everyone I could and they wouldn't stand behind it. Even with all the known issues with the white dots??? I was just about to buy a second Samsung for my other living room. Kind of feel stupid for being so loyal to their product for so many years now.
DeleteI have a HL61A750A1FXZA I bought in 2009 so far the picture is good except a shadow on the left side from top to bottom about 3 inches wide.
Recently all 3 of my HDMI ports quit working.
Any one have that happen to them.
The nearest Samsung repair place is 80 miles away.
i have been in contact with Samsung with a white dots on my hl56a650c1fxza. im getting no help. they keep telling me someone will contact me but never do. the dots are going faster and faster every day. is there a recall on this. if so why was i not notified of it. please help me with this.
DeleteI have the same problem with the noise. It's been going on for a long time. Sometimes I have to unplug the TV then start it again to make it disappear. I'e been very disappointed ever since I bought this TV. The worst part is that I paid $3,500.00 for this POS.
DeleteI have the same thing white dots multiplying each day! It's the chip that is defective. I called samsung and the will not do anything for you. Contact the Consumer Product Safety Commission & maybe after people start complaining they will recall the TV
DeleteI also have an issue with white dots appearing on our DLP TV. Our model code # HL67A750A1FXZA
Serial # AKW63CKQC03199B
Version RE01
could this be problems from same series of this type of tv >?
ReplyDeletewhich is listed in the series above the HL-S series
Anyone know about White Dots appearing all over the screen? Seems like they are multiplying.....
I had the same problem with my dlp slim by samsung. I called the manufacture and they send out a tech no cost but, it does depend on the model. This was a year ago. My paper work is worn so I don't have the number anymore but I found most the information online. There is also a class action lawsuit taking place for products that shut on and off. This is online as well.
DeleteI'm also having the dead pixel issue. I have a Samsung DLP TV model #HL-T5076S. I did a little research and came to the conclusion of having to change the light engine. Haven't been able to find this part(s) anywhere. Any help?
Deletei also have problems with white dots samsung hlt5075sx/xaa date of manufacturer is june 2007 could it possibly be fixed or replaced?
I also have the white dot problem, and it's a lot more than a few, left side of the screen is covered with them, the set was manufactured in 2006, I've replaced 2 lanps in that time frame. Model No. HL-S5086S I too would like to know what to do with this problem.
I had that problem, found some information online a year ago to call samsung. I called them up gave my serial #, it was a defected something, I can't remember what but they sent out a tech no cost. I found out this year there is a class action lawsuit for certain product#'s that are shutting on and off. I didn't qualify for that although my tv shut's on and off, and sometimes takes a few minutes to come on. I have a dlp slim manufactured in 07. I searched the net and located this info. I suggest all Samsung consumers do so.
DeleteIt seems to be covered.
For more information call 1- 888-899-7602.
You should be able to be reimbursed
I have a samsung Model # hl t4675sx/xaa manufactured June 2007 I recieved as a gift from my mother Xmas 2009. It is darkening around the bottom and most anoying is the appearance of "white dots" on the screen which seem to be getting worse.. is my model tv covered by any recalls from Samsung??
ReplyDeleteI have dlp 50 hl-s5087w is blinking(led) with no picture. I replaced the lamp. it works with a a litlle humming in the back then after a month it turned off with a binking led
ReplyDeleteI have a 61 inch model that blew the bulb. I changed the bulb but the set is still not working with both the red and green led's blinking and no other activity.
ReplyDeleteThis may be a different issue. Did you change the bulb or did a service technician? You need the model and serial number to compare to Samsung recalls. Also check this Samsung Recall covered until September 12, 2013. http://www.recall.emailmenow.com/2012/03/free-repair-samsung-tv.html or try http://goo.gl/tb1jd

I have a 56 inch model#HL56A650C1FXZA and the white dots have covered the screen. What can I do?
ReplyDeleteHello, I have a HLT5076sx which is aquiring the white dot issue as well. I understand there was a recall on it for this problem. As I see, others are having this issue as well by the recent posts. Dose anyone know if Samsung will still repair this as I see the lawsuit mentions the warrenty extension into 2011?
ReplyDeleteL Romero: I just called Samsung 7-15-12 regarding my 55 LCD. I purchased my TV 3 years ago and from day one had problems with the power cord. Now I have the same issues with the crackling noise and the turning off and on. Per Samsung customer service because my warranty is no longer valid there is nothing that the company can do for me. They are aware of lawsuite but not willing to cover cost.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the model number and manufacture date of TV? This warranty extension ended on October 22, 2011, but there is another recall that is covered until September 12, 2013. Here is the other recall that may affect you. http://www.recall.emailmenow.com/2012/03/free-repair-samsung-tv.html or try http://goo.gl/tb1jd

ReplyDeleteI HAVE A 61 INCH SANSUNG AND HAVE WHITE DOT COMING ON THE SCREEN. WHAT SHOULD I DO ? I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM UNDER THE RECALL.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem with mine. My picture is still great, so I've learned to look beyond the DOTS.
DeleteJust to let you know, I have a 55" DLP and called the Samsung Service Center just today about white dots growing on TV. Started in April. They were very nice and said it was DMD chip problem and would have local TV service call within 2 days and will fix FOR FREE. They will not give you the runaround, just be mannerable. Said my TV would work as good as new. If you are getting dots on any source..like movies, HDMI, Game source,....it is the Chip.. DO NOT GO BUY NEW TV....or NEW CHIP $250)You are a 5 minute phone call from new picture. Don't need receipt ,transaction # or purchase date....only model# and Serial #. pull the tag from the back of the right side of screen, by Inputs area (HDMI,Theater...etc). Trust me...They recognize the problem.....remember to put your tag back on TV...See it is easy if you treat people with respect...They know you have spent a lot of money and want your business again. Call 800-726-7864.
DeleteHave white dot problem, called Samsung they said your model is not covered, 50" DLP HL/T 5087SX/XAA .
DeleteAsk to speak to a supervisor. They told me the same "your model is not covered" deal. Once I spoke with a supervisor, she offered me a courtesy one time free of charge replacement of the DMD chip. A local repair company will be coming to my home.
DeleteI have 61 dlp with the white dots. was told today, 9/13/2012 that my tv was covered for the capacitor problem but not the white dot issue. Just wondering why if they are having the exact same problem out of all these TVs why they wouldnt fix them so maybe when I buy another tv I would buy from them.....
ReplyDeleteHi I have the same issue Samsung is giving me the run around but look further I seen back in 2011 with the same model # as mine I have the HL61A750A1FXZA they fixed some so they replied back giving Samsung good remarks I have printed their post. But I am just now getting the white dots about 2 or 3 months ago started out with 1 now the whole screen is filled and so far SamSung will not do anything but different people tell you different crap. Before this is over I WILL TAKE THIS FURTHER, I will let it be known different ways of Telling the world not to buy any SAMSUNG PRODUCTS because they have respect of people and will not stand by their products. If a product has a defect and this is a known defect weather or not its model is a HLT OR HL-S Seris or whatever it should be fixed for FREE....
I just called yesterday Nov. 14, 2012 and Samsung told me they are covering my white dot issue, but not my capacitor issue. Service guy is coming Monday so I'll let you know how it goes. White dots started appearing about a month ago, and have grown from a couple to probably a thousand. My tv turns on but makes a clicking noise at times when turned off, assuming it's the capacitor from the threads I have read. 2007 DLP, model HLT5676SX
DeletejANUARY 3,2013, i HAVE THE WHITE DOT PROBLEM ON MY61" DLP MODEL #HL-T 6187saxiXAA. tALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AT sAMSUNG SUPPORT AND AM WAITING FOR A SUPERVISOR TO CONTACT ME. oN juST ASK, THEIR WEBSITE, i WAS TOLD BY THEIR TECH TAHT IT WAS A DMD CAUSING THE PROBLEM. iT WAS MADE BY TEXAS INSTRUMENTS AND THAT SAMSUNG KNEW ABOUT IT, BUT KEPT PUTTING THEM IN THE TVS. i BOUGHT MY TV J1NUARY 19,2008
Deletei have the white dots on my TV and the capasitor issue also. smasung want to charge me 475.00 to fix the issue with the white dots. i bought my TV june of 2007. did not even get 6 years out of the TV. my TV is HL-R6167W
DeleteI have the HL61A750A1FXZA purchased in 2008. I called Samsung and they stated that this model is not under recall and I would be liable for an "out of warranty service call". They would not acknowledge that this is a chip problem and stated there is no issues with this model. You only need to put the model in google to find a plethora of people with white dot issues. I am now awaiting a supervisor to call me back within two days.
Ask to speak to a supervisor. They told me the same "your model is not covered" deal. Once I spoke with a supervisor, she offered me a courtesy one time free of charge replacement of the DMD chip. A local repair company will be coming to my home.
DeleteI am experiencing several of the same issues. I was informed that this was normal wear and tear. I filed a complaint with the New Jersey Better Business Bureau and received a quick response that they will cover the part - not the labor. I have two other models cited above they are refusing repair. I am just going to go purchase a new SONY 4k television and send their CEO a pic with a letter. My parents owned the same TV for 20 years. What a joke.
DeleteI also have a Samsung DLP 67 inch bought it in 2008. I am also experiencing the white dots. I went to online Samsung chat for resolution was not satisfied and asked for a supervisor. The supervisor was not helpful at all until I informed him I had an employee that worked for our local TV station and that this might make a great news story. Now I am waiting for a call from Samsung that I should receive in the next 2 days. We shall see and I will keep you posted! I also did the survey and requested an email copy of our chat conversation. The fact of the matter is this is a known problem with the DLP's! I have a 67 inch and was told it was normal wear and tear and had not been reported with my particular model number - well I'll just bet they didn't sell a lot of the larger models therefor they haven't gotten a lot of complaints about them. It is the principle of the matter. It is a known problem with the DLP's they should stand behind their products and fix it!
I have a 50 inch Samsung HL-R5064W when it comes on the the blue screen I have white horizontal lines and they stay there all the time. Is this the color wheel or bulb or something different. Need help
ReplyDeleteMy samsung 50" has white dots beginning to appear, the tv is 4 years old model # hl50a650c1fxza, samsung says sorry this model is not covered by recall, sounds like all their products are defective and should be covered , so what do I do besides never buy another samsung product
ReplyDeletei have a samsung dlp hdtv with model # hlt 4675sx/xaa. i started with one white dot then not even a month later i had a screen full, then my tv just stoped working. is this under recall or not. i bought samsung b/c i thought it was top of the line, could of picked any other brand. guess i was wrong haven't heard of other top brands with this problem. hopefully they can fix the problem and keep there reputation with me.
ReplyDeletei have 3 40inch samsung tvs and it takes 15 to 20 minutes to come on some one said it is the tuner only had them maybe 3yrs how do i get intouch with the company and also has anyone else had this probleme
ReplyDeleteI have a hlt5075sx/xaa and the speakers are popping and going out is this a recall issue? I have heard it is the mother board can anyone poi t me n the right dire tion I would appreciate it thanks.
I have a HLT 5687SX/XAA and just started getting the dreaded white dots. Samsung'd reply was that my model # does not exhibit an abnormally high rate of failure so it isnt covered. Why would DLP chips made by Texas Instruments in the same factory at the same time as the other chips that they are willing to replace at their cost expected to be any different in quality. This is a known issue with TI DLP chips manufactured in 2006-2007. Not willing to back up your products quality makes Samsung a POS company. BTW they feel that a TV is obsoleteafter 5 years so just buy anoyher of their pieces of crap for $2500.00. WARNING: DON'T BUY ANY SAMSUNG PRODUCTS EVER!!!
ReplyDeleteI have the same TV, less than 4 years old, with about 300+ dots.
Samsung refuses to fix with the same argument that their research indicates that this model does not fail as often as the others that were recalled.
What a bunch of BS.
Wonder why there is not a class action suit to cover all TVs with defective DLP chips??
ReplyDeletemake sure you put the specified bulb in your tv then you must reset lamp hours.
DeleteWe bought Samsung DLP Model HL72A650C1fza in April 2008.For the past year, we have been seeing issues. We replaced bulb in Oct 2012 .The TV tuns on and off automatically and is no longer working.Called Samsung team and they say my model is not covered as part of settlement.Repair estimate is close to $600.Piece of junk in the living room now and I need to find a way to dispose it.
ReplyDeleteWe bough a samsung DLP 1080p model HLT5076SX/XAA in 2007 and it has whites dots all over it .
In the past we had the bulb replaced in 2008 also the sound is not good it's cracks when u turn it up
Is my tv covered in the recall
My Samsung TV, model LN-T3242H was manufactured in Mexico in 2008, distributed in Ontario, Canada, and purchased at WalMart in Jan., 2011. It, too, has clicking and on/off problem which began ab. a month ago ! (Thank you Bill Clinton and NAFTA !) Their chat people told me to get it fixed !
Anonymous in CA
HOORAY ! I've got some info that may help ALL of you not yet "accepted" into the results of the class action lawsuit. Found the settlement itself online with the phone number of the "Class Counsel." It is: 505 - 235 - 1560. Spoke to "Jennifer" who referred me to the samsung office which is implementing the lawsuit victory ! THAT number is: 888 - 899 - 7602. The recording lists the "problems" covered by the lawsuit. For example: cycling on and off like mine. Then the recordin listed the type of TV (LCD, etc.) involved. After you punch in the number that corresonds to your type (mine is LCD which was number one), a list of code prefixes are read off. Mine is "LNT" which was the lst one on the list! Then the recording says to push one if your code prefix is listed. I did and waited for a human being ! Shortly, I got one. SHE wanted the serial number. I got it wrong the first few times she tried to input. Finally, I realized that the type font on the serial number (on the back of the TV) was DIFFERENT than the rest of the label. Therefore what I thought was an eight was really a SIX. What I thought was a nine was really EIGHT. Beware. Needed to use a lamp AND a strong flashlight to figure this out. She sd OK, you're covered. She is e-mailing a referral to a local TV repair that does samsung. She sd there will be NO CHARGE. Stay tuned. I'll let you all know if successful but I strongly suggest you call those numbers NOW. (Incidentally, the local TV repair shop name was given to me by samsung over the week-end to seek repair. THEY mentiond the recall/lawsuit or I would never have known ! Thank God. Best wishes to all of you. From a friend in Los Angeles.
i have brand new 2013 led 40 inch samsung, second one , blinking white lights in left corner, done bring it back for different brand , boo boo samsung
Could you supply some information on the white dot problem we're having with our Samsung DLP TV? Our The model number is HL-S6187W and it was purchased in 2007; our warranty has expired. When I initially called Samsung, I was told our DMD chip could be replaced free of charge, but when I scheduled the repair, the repair man said the serial number I read to him was NOT covered by the recall, and we'd have to pay. I decided not to have the repair done but since then, the dots have wildly multiplied. Also, I now think I may have garbled the serial number since it was so hard to read. My main questions: can we determine if we qualify for the recall based off the model number alone? Can I get any guidance as to how the serial number should start (a B versus an 8, for instance)? Thanks...
ReplyDeleteI called hot line today. About a month ago small white dots began appearing on the left side of my screen. They "reproduced" until entire screen was covered. Customer service rep very polite. Will have service tech call to set up appt for service. Problem with the white spots has been a DMD chip. If that is the problem they will repair. If not, they will give an estimate for repair of whatever is wrong and I am responsible for the trip charge. We will see how this works out! My model # Is HL-T56765X/XAA, 56 in. DLP.
ReplyDeleteI just called tonight on my HL-T5676SX/XAA and they said the same thing. Your post encouraged me to call to get it fixed. Thanks.
Deletehello i have 61" dlp tv that start having issue with the white dots in the screen wondering if anyone know where i can call to see if samsung can help me
ReplyDeleteyou need a DLP chip and Y-tube will show you how to replace it. They price in the range from $149 $439.
eric carter
I have model # HLT6176SXXAA. called Samsung about white few dots appearing on the left side screen.
Customer service is sending a local technician to replace DMD chip. Tech service should be free.
Will let you know in the next few days.
hello i have a hlt 5055WX/XAA,that keeps turning off on its own...dont know why...but seems to do it more frequently now...have to wait about a couple minutes for it to turn back on plz help
ReplyDeleteYikes!! I've read all the comments and I'm not feeling like this is going to be easy:( Bought a HLT5076S 1080P DLP on 11.23.07 Had a 5 yr warranty (which I Paid $400.00 for the warranty) and guess when the white dots began!! yep! started in December with just one or two and now in april so many I can't count. Does anyone have any suggestions besides NEVER buying another SAMSUNG product ever again!!
ReplyDeleteHad to Post! called Samsung 04.10.13 @1-800-726-7864 told them my problem gave them my model code# and serial # They said it would be covered by recall!! a service company called within hours and set up appointment for today . They were here right on time took about an hour and the TV is working GREAT!! NO White Dots. Thank You Samsung for standing behind your product!!
DeleteI have an LCD Samsung Model LN52A75OR1FXZA. Crackling noise will not power on same defect as decribed in class action suit. Called samsung they told me that although the model # is included in law suit and eligible for coverage for repair the serial number is not on their list. where can I obtain a list of eligible serial numbers. my serial # on my samsung is ALB73CFS204471V
ReplyDeleteI also have the 61 inch Samsung DLP model HL61A750A1FXZA. The white dot plauge struck me 3 weeks ago now my screen looks like a constellation of 15-20 white dots getting worse every day. If this is a defective part in the TV Samsung better help the replacement cover the replacement costs as it seems a lot of people are having the same problems.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever get the TV fixed? I have the same problem and was told that a new chip would resolve the issue, but costs about $500 installed.
DeleteMy tv had the same white spot problem and I called the number provided here and in a week samsung fixed my tv by replacing the chip. Like a new tv now.
ReplyDeleteI have a Samsung slim dlp HL-T5075sx xaa. The screen went black and the three lights at the bottom blink off an on. I replaced the red LED but that didn't fix it. I applied for the class action lawsuit and filled out the paperwork last year, but the technician came and said the power supply wasn't the issue, so it wasn't repaired by the recall. I'm still stuck with it. I am stuck with a big 50" tv in my living room that doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteI have the HLR5067WAX 50" TV....the screen keeps freezing and sound goes out..screen seems to jump...this first started happening summer of 2011, unaware of any recall..paid $200 to fix it and within a year it is back to doing the same thing....any tips?? It is giving me an "I message" of no signal or weak signal.
ReplyDeleteI have a Samsung model # HLT5076sx/xaa Serial # AHFM3CKQ100264P and I have white dots all over the screen I had went to the Samsung web site and registered my tv, and requested a service request and it would not take it told me in red letters that the warranty was out after 12 months. I got my tv in 2010 and the white dots started then but had a family issue and had to just put the tv back in the box. I have recently took the tv out of box and had the same issue with just a few dots, but now in the last couple months the dots have multiplied all across the top and in the bottom two corners. I am excited to learn that there might be a fix for it. I will cross my fingers and hope for the best. I have several Samsung products from another flat screen to mobile device to sound bar and would love to keep buying from them. I have not had a issue yet with the tv but the phone yes.
ReplyDeleteI have the Samsung DLP HLT5676SX/XAA. It was covered under the DLP Shadow Effect. They sent someone out to fix and then it went bad again. It was suppose to be replaced if it goes bad again. Since then it has been serviced 7 times. The last time the Samsung Rep from the Office of The President said that he would extend the warranty of the repair work from the repair shop. They came out and put another $700 in parts to replace the Capacitor and the Ballast Board. It worked for 18 hours and now it's dead again. The TV repair shop said I need a 2nd opinion, to contact Samsung and tell them because they had already replaced all the parts in the TV. No response now from Samsung in three weeks and no response from the TV Repair shop. I have the things in Writing. I am in AZ. Any ideas on an Attorney????????
ReplyDeleteI have a HLT5076sx/xaa and it has the famous White Dot syndrome. I called Samsung 9-13-2013 around 4pm and told them what my TV was doing and they are sending a repair person within a few days to hopefully fix my TV. I can't wait to be able to actually watch something on it again without those annoying white dots. :-)
Will post more on the outcome of my TV after the repair man leaves.
So tomorrow "Tuesday 9-23-2013" the service tech. will be here before noon to fix my white dot tv issue. :-) I can't wait either.
Will post more on how things turn out.
The TV repairman showed up just before noon. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He started working on the TV right away and changed the DMD Chip, put it back together. Turned the TV on and WHAM!! No more whites dots anywhere :-) now it looks like a fairly new TV again.
Thank you so much for fixing my TV and making it right!!
Will continue to buy Samsung Products.
Happy Customer!!
I have HL72A650C1F model and just called and found out that this model is not covered. :+(
ReplyDeleteI have a Samsung DLP model HLT5676SX/XAA manufactured in November of 2007. I have chatted with and called customer service representatives but have been told that my model tv was not covered in the capacitor settlement (http://www.samsung.com/us/capacitorsettlement/documents/20120214%20Full%20Class%20Notice.pdf) but was included in the list of televisions that had bad chips in them (http://www.samsung.com/us/dlptvsettlement/). I have contacted a lawyer for a free consultation and given the fact that so many televisions are experiencing the same thing my TV is I was told to contact Samsung first and if Samsung was unwilling to fix the television at no cost to me then I would have two options. Option 1 is to take Samsung to small claims court and recoup all money associated (ie diagnostic, repairs, lawyer fees, court costs, etc.). Option 2 use social media (ie facebook, twitter, etc) to see how many people who own televisions that use the same chip (Samsung DMD Chip, DLP, 1920X1080/XHD5) color wheel (Samsung Color Wheel, K780, SVC) or have a television that experiencing symptoms such as not turning on, experiencing a significant delay in turning on. cycling on and off, or other similar problems as stated in the class action law suit filed against them in the state of Oklahoma on March 2, 2012 and file a new class action lawsuit to include any models of televisions not listed in the lawsuit and to file for an extension of the previous class action lawsuit.
ReplyDeleteSamsung Is a WOTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP SAME PROBLEM NOT COVERED I FEEL ANOTHER CLASS ACTION SUIT!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this info! I just spoke to a Samsung rep.who was so fun to talk to! He scheduled a fix this week for my white dot problem. Yippee! I am so happy! I have replaced the bulb twice already in this tv so another expense would have been frustrating.
ReplyDeleteThird dot just appeared so I decided to do some research. Glad I found this site. I will call Samsung tomorrow about my HL61A750A1FXZA.
ReplyDeleteSamsung is well aware of the white dot problem, however, I am being told that I have the "misfortune" of experiencing the problem. After speaking with 6 different reps, they tell me that the tv is out of warranty and that it can be fixed for $480. The problem is more prevalent in models manufactured in 2006 (my HL61A750A1FXZA was made in 2008) and those are being repaired under warranty. Looks like I will be purchasing a different brand when I replace the tv (or phone, refrigerator, etc.).
ReplyDeleteHLT6187SAX/XAA Called Samsung 10/27/2013 was told my TV would be repaired for free because it was part of a capacitor class action suit. The issue; having to turn it off and on 4-8 times before it would power on. I was told by Samsung to leave the TV on because more damage would be caused that was not covered. I was told a repair shop would call and setup the appointment. Consolidated Electronics in Raleigh, NC called to make the repair on 11/7/3013. They called me back on 10/31/2013 and said the part was on backorder. I called them on 11/15 to check on the repair they told me I would have to call Samsung that they had removed the repair order. I call Samsung they offer me $300 and will send out a trucking company to pick up the TV. When I asked about a breach of the Consumer Protection Act, pertaining to; spare parts being available for a reasonable amount of time, and the fact that had I know there was a know issue with the model as a reasonable customer I would not have bought the goods. I'm currently waiting on a supervisor call back after he/she gets an answer back from their legal dept.
ReplyDeleteI have a TV model number HLS5687WX/XAA and I was just told by Samsung that while my TV has all the symtoms to qualify for the recall, my model number is not. Their TV department wanted me to tell them which light flashes when the TV turns off by itself in order to determine the problem. With that information, regardless of what it is, they will not do anything for me. This is the same thing that happened with my failed Firestone 500 tires that only had 20,000 miles on them. It cost me $400 out of my pocket and my neighbor who had 78,000 miles on his got new tires for free because of the tire manufacture date. Is seven years a long life for a TV today? I guess I will just go bigger on my next OTHER THAN SAMSUNG TV.
I have a Samsung 56 inch TV model HL-S5686w that went suddenly belly up.. the screen went blank and no sound. It was purchased in 2006. The lamp is bright and there is a regular tone when the TV is plugged into power up but nothing happens when we try to do anything else. This all happened when t I was simply changing channels with the remote. Any ideas?
I have a HL72A650, purchased in the fall of2008, with the very common white dot issue. Samsung will not cover my television, only the older models. The cost to fix is $800.00. Pretty upsetting as this is such a common issue. I have an much older Vizio Plasma, works amazing, and is on all day long unlike the Samsung which is in the theater room and only used for the occassional movie, plus as gone through three projector bulbs.
ReplyDeleteHere is my research on the white dot issue. I have a Samsung HL67A750 DLP TV.It currently has about 100 white dots, 4 weeks ago it had maybe 40.
Samsung, as with other owners, refuses to provide free replacement. The DMD device is made by Texas Instrument and is used in a large number of DLP TVs made by Samsung, Mitsubishi, Toshiba and probably others. I was able to get some date code information from TI and their response indicated that new devices are not "improved" devices. When I specifically asked whether I can expect the same problem with the replacement device they stopped responding from which I conclude that there was no redesign, however, this will have to be proved by subpenaing their records if there is a lawsuit. It is time to consider a class action lawsuit against TI and all the TV manufacturers who use their DMD device.
I have a Samsung DLP, currently has a bout 20 white dots. I contacted Samsung, come to found out that my model TV was a Canadian model which did not qualify for work in the US.
contacted Samsung again, they agreed to pay for part and not service which is better than paying close to $400. You cannot go through regular customer service, you have to contact ECR division of Samsung.
My LED was made in 2009, model UN46B6000VFXZA. Same probems as the already settled capacitor lawsuit. On and off, cracking, popping, etc. Samsung just told me that my model wasn't part of the class action suit from 2 years ago, and it was out of warranty, so too bad, so sad. I have never owned a tv for 4 years and have it go bad. I have 3 Samsung tvs, and a Samsung smartphone. Last time that Samsung and I will exchange money. These capacitor problems are still popping up all over the world for models newer than 2008. I want another class action lawsuit against Samsung. They need to be taught a lesson; they need to be accountable.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE A SAMSUNG 67" POS MY
M# IS HL67A750A1FXZA I CALLED SAMSUNG AN THEY SAID THAT THEY could not help me I need to buy a new Dlp chip and that will fix it for 200.oo dollors on ebay is it on the law suit. ??? I'm on ssi disability so how do I get help!!!! I paid 25 hundred for it an now I have 25 hundred dots I can't see the t.v. any more someone HELP PLEASE ME.!!!
Received a DLP 50 inch TV as a gift in 2007 and 3 years later I started experiencing lamp trouble. I've replaced my lamp at least 6 times since 2010 up to 2012. So far I've replaced the color wheel, the ballast and the lamp. I left the TV alone for 2 years only to find that I needed to service it, well that did'nt work either. Any advice???
ReplyDeleteI have the same model HL-5075S and so far I have logged into the live chat on the Samsung website, received a ticket number for the ECR Department, Was told to call them which is the 1-800 Samsung number, Was offered a free cruise to the bahamas, and when I declined, they BLOCKED MY PHONE NUMBER from the system. When I called it would just hang up on me or get a recording saying all reps were busy then hang up. But when I call from another phone, I get through no problem. SHAME SAMSUNG SHAME and SHADY... so I eventually got through to ECR, they asked me to agree that they would cove the DMD chip and I would be responsible for the repair. I said NO, I would like my TV fixed fully. After a little back and forth about the TV being 8 years old etc I finally got ECR to agree to cover the entire repair. The repair Tech called me within a couple minutes. I am scheduling the repair. I was also told that if anything else was wrong with the set I would have to pay. I think they are just trying to spend as least as possible and stick the customer with as much of the repair as possible. And make it very discouraging to try and get this resolved. SHAME but keep trying, everyone.. and be polite on the phone with them or they may block your number
DeleteAfter all the back and forth and number blocking, the tech came and fixed the set. Free of charge.
DeleteJust got off the phone with Executive Customer Repair(ECR).
My HL61A750A1 started displaying the dreaded white dots about 3 weeks ago(I still only have 2, but very distracting-1 is "twinkling").
Purchased April 2008, got the story of not covered as many of you have. I was very polite, explaining that perhaps the class action judgment was rendered before my model started displaying the issue, but since the symptoms were identical to those that were covered, that told me that the chip used in mine had the same problem as previous models, and would they be so kind as to cover the failed chip in my set?
They are giving me a one-time chip replacement, though I'm to pay for labor. As my background is IT, and I've added/replaced chipsets in numerous gateways and routers, I tried to get them to just send the chip to me and I would install, but they said 90 day warranty would not be covered if I installed. So now I am to call this repair place to schedule the replacement. Not sure what the labor will be, however.
I'm having the same white dot problem and have been on the phone for over an hr. I got hung up on once, then transferred numerous times with having to repeat the same information over and over after being told it would be noting before transferring me so I would not have to repeat myself and then finally I get told they will only pay for the parts as a one time courtesy but I would have to pay for labor and from what I hear that is expensive. I let the man know that I was reading from this site and have seen where people have been getting this problem solved without any charge and he just got an attitude with me and told me that not everything I see on google is correct and I should go check out samsungs page. Not really happy with them at the moment, this is some bs.
I have one dot as of now on my hl61a750a1fxza. I called and got the usual normal wear and tear which is B.S. only had the set for maybe 5 years and barely used it for the first 2 years. If it is like the others it doesnt seem like it takes too long. have to careful about aligning the formatting board if it applies or the spiral ring etc I really love the picture on this thing and could probably go buy a 55" for 600 bucks. Havent had any issues with the bulb has anyone?
ReplyDeleteThis weekend I bought 55in TV Model: HL56A650C1FXZA off craigslist knowing it had white dot problem and a chip needed to be replaced. Paid $100 hoping it was worth the gamble...
Looked up the problem part, prices and instructions on replacement then I came across this forum. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE POSTS AND INFORMATION!!! The job looked doable, but the chip is outrageously expensive!!!
My model was not under the ones covered by recall, and it is 7+year old tv, but saw a post from someone with same model and issue from (Mid-January 2015) and they said the were granted a "One Time Replacement" so I figured I would call Samsung, the worst they can say is "No".
I explained problem and gave info to the rep. (claiming I have had the TV for a long time, and how the problem has become progressively worse), wait a few, she said exactly what I expected: "My model is not covered under the recall/lawsuit". I told her about all the information I have been reading detailing how common the problem is among all of that series of these TV's, and I told her "I really have enjoyed the TV,
and how much I would hate to get to have to rid of it..." She put me on hold for about thirty seconds and then came back to say "She was escalating my case to the Corporate Division."
[Even though I was transferred to the wrong department twice, This was the first time I have never called a 1-800 number and had not been on hold for more than 30 sec.] When I reach the corporate rep. I immediately complimented them for the speed in which they fielded my call. He basically confirmed what the original person said, "Not Covered". I asked if "He could at least meet me in the middle, and just send me a good chip??" Put me on hold for about 30sec, but comes back to say "they will offer me a new chip!"
Unfortunately, they would not send chip directly to me... "It must go to licensed Samsung repair shop" The shop called me the following day. I was going to ask if there was any way I could pay a reasonable "Handling Fee" and they could just let me have the chip. But, I the cost to have them do it was $120 if I bring it to them, $140 for home service. I didn't want to pay over $100 in labor, but doing it myself would have been a pain in the arse. Thy are coming in two days (when the part is due to arrive).
Long story short: I HAD A 7+ YEAR OLD TV, NO PAPER WORK, NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL< ETC>
I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD GET ANYTHING, BUT IF YOU ARE CURTIOUS ON THE PHONE, MANY TIMES THEY WILL HOOK YOU UP!!---Assuming all goes well Thursday
Good Luck to all those with the same problem!

Hi! I'm looking for some design software that will allow walk-through's for the Mac. We've got a fairly new one, but the only program I've found is the Abracadata suite, and it's not quite what we're looking for--it doesn't offer specific options for decks, and the 3D effects aren't nearly as good as, say the Punch products or the Broderbund products. Any advice would be great! Thanks!

Things don't appear to be getting much better for the Boston Red Sox.
A day after dropping their eighth consecutive game, the Red Sox announced on Saturday that they have placed Victorino on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring. To replace Victorino, Boston recalled outfielder Daniel Nava from Triple-A Pawtucket.
Victorino came up lame in the ninth inning of Friday's 1-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays while running out a bunt attempt and stayed on base for two pitches before being taken out of the game.
The 33-year-old's injury marks his second stint on the disabled list this season, as he missed the first three weeks of the year with another right hamstring injury suffered during spring training.
Victorino is batting .242 with one home run and 10 RBIs in just 21 games played this season. Nava returns for his second appearance in the majors this season after struggling with just 10 hits in 67 at-bats through 17 games in early April.

More questions are needed to be answered. Was your divorce finalized in Michigan? In your Final Judgment of Divorce, are there words that require you to sign any or all documents with respect to the transfer of property to your spouse? If it does, you could potentially be held in contempt if you decide not to sign any/all documents. With that being said, visit with an attorney that practices in both areas of Family Law (Domestic Relations) and Real Estate Law.

Assessing the Development GapIrina SinitsinaCASE - Center for Social and Economic Research Alexander ChubrikCASE - Center for Social and Economic Research; IPM Research Center Irina DenisovaCenter for Economic and Financial Research (CEFIR); New Economic School (NES) Vladimir DubrovskiyCASE - Centre for Social and Economic Research Ukraine - CASE Ukraine Magdalena RokickaCASE - Center for Social and Economic Research Michael TokmazishviliCASE - Center for Social and Economic Research - CASE Transcaucasus Marina Kartsevaaffiliation not provided to SSRN Irina Makenbaevaaffiliation not provided to SSRN April 17, 2009 CASE Network Reports No. 74 Abstract: Current report aims to identify major existing gaps in the four socio-economic dimensions (economic, human, environmental, and institutional) and to reveal those gaps which could potentially hinder social and economic integration of neighbor states with the EU. To achieve this, the authors aim to assess the existing trends in the size of the gaps across countries and problem areas, taking into consideration the specific origin of the gap between EU15/EU12, on the one hand, and FSU republics, EU candidates and West Balkan countries, on the other hand. The paper is structured as follows: (1) An analysis of the historic roots and origins of the development gap, and its evolvement over time. (2) A review of literature sources, draft analysis of primary statistical data, and qualitative explanations of gaps and divergences in selected development issues across four socio-economic dimensions: • level of economic development and convergence rates based on real GDP (application of methodology testing β and σ convergence to the set of countries analyzed); • quality of life and its components (poverty, inequality, health status and health care, access to fresh water and sanitation facilities, subjective perceptions of well-being); • human capital and labor market development, including level of education and public spending on education, its accessibility and quality, main differences in labor market development (employment participation rates and levels of unemployment, new jobs creation and labor protection legislation); • innovation potential, including R&D, information and communication technologies, and institutional environment; • environmental performance in terms of environmental stresses, efforts aimed at their reduction, and institutional capacity; • business climate, political institutions, and other institutional indicators (econometric analysis). (3) A test econometric analysis of development gaps across selected dimensions by using a Principal Components Method (PCM). The results are further presented in the form of ranks of countries analyzed reflecting their distances from EU15 in respective aggregate averages. Special attention is paid to gender-related development issues. Respective issues in human capital and labor market study, as well as variables included into PCM analysis were supplemented with relative gender data. Several preliminary conclusions finalize the report.

Alzheimer's disease—and the cost of allopathic remedies is on the rise. Here are 5 herbs to help you and your loved ones support Alzheimer's health plans.
Lemon balm
The 16th century Swiss physician, Paracelsus, sold lemon balm to kings with the promise of inhibiting early senility. The herb continues to draw attention in modern-day laboratories for its potential to help Alzheimer's patients. Professor Elaine Perry of the University of Newcastle tested the effect of balm on the enzyme and receptors responsible for helping the molecule acetylcholine transmit nerve signals. Although more research is necessary, lemon Balm extract stimulated the receptors successfully.
Sage was examined in the same Newcastle University study that reviewed lemon balm to help cognitive function. While balm stimulated the receptors, sage inhibited acetylcholinesterase in a similar way to the Alzheimer's drug, Aricept.
Gingko Biloba
Known to support blood flow, and oxygen, to the brain, Ginkgo may promote cognition and has caught the eye of western researchers. The University of Maryland Medical Center found that Ginkgo may help Alzheimer's patients, and a 2010 study published in BMC Geriatrics found that the herb was more effective than a placebo in reducing Alzheimer's-related dementia [1]. A recent Chinese study found that, of 120 patients with mild cognitive impairment, the group who received Gingko biloba leaf tablets for 6 months scored significantly higher in logical memory and nonsense picture recognition tests than the control group [2].
Cat's Claw
One look at the cat's claw vine will bring back memories of your first cat scratch. Originally occurring in the Amazon rainforest, natives used cat's claw to help calm redness and swelling, especially in the bones and joints. Studies of cat's claw show that it dilates blood vessels, which might make it a helpful herb for Alzheimer's patients, who don't get enough blood flow and therefore oxygen in their brain cells.
In addition to diabetes, cancer, colds and flu, Asian and American gingseng have been studied for their potentially beneficial effects on Alzheimer's patients. S. Q. Hu, author of a 2008 article published in the Journal of Chinese Medicinal Materials, claims that American ginseng extracts reduced cell death in Alzheimer's disease in animal studies [3].
Other Measures
In addition to consulting a holistic physician and utilizing these key herbs, those with early signs of dementia or Alzheimer's should lower their stress levels, consume more vitamin E, and include more raw organic virgin coconut oil into their diets.

they have been due lately but I think we go in their and sweep them 3 straight and come home to the cardinals rollin...
Win the first, then win the second, then think about sweeping.
Sweep would be great, but 2 out of 3 again would be alright.
the reds have 53 games remaining, im just hoping they can go on 53, one game winning streaks.
It would be nice to sweep them but not for shure
A sweep should be the goal. God knows the Reds need to rack up the wins now before they head out for their west coast trip.
Just keep winning series
no, when is the last time we actually swept someone?
The last time a thread started like this the Reds was the team that got swept. :thumbdown
oakland series is the last sweep.
Yes!!! I vote sweep!!! Who's with me??? :all_cohol
The Cubs have been better as of late
He must have meant today. The Cubs were better, today
haha, The cubs kind of scare me, only because I think they're one of the more talented "bad" teams if that makes sense. Aramis Ramirez has started to hit a little bit, and Lee, Soriano, Byrd, and Colvin can always have a good game. That being said, i'll be happy with 2/3. A sweep vs. St. Louis would be unbelievable!
Especially since St. Louis will be throwing Carpenter, Garcia, and Wainwright against the Reds. A sweep with those starters is close to impossible.
As for the Cubs, Wells vs. Volquez looks like a tough win. Volquez is all over the place, and Wells baffled the Reds last time he faced them. The other two games should be in the Reds favor, but who knows what Gorzelanny or Arroyo shows up Friday.

@Rainbow Stuff Question
- I do have some rainbow stuff lying around that I have worn, but the only real rainbow thing I have that I have no problem wearing around anywhere is a rainbow tie-dye shirt.
It's good to show a little pride here and there, but there is certainly a difference from being tasteful and annoyingly extravagant. There's a difference between wearing a shirt or bracelet that say "Equality for all" or "Yay Same Sex Marriage Yay" or something of the like to show support, and duct taping a neon sign to your chest saying "GAY" and becoming a one-man pride parade including all the frivolous noise and prevalence of assless chaps.
and also
@Previous Label Question
- I understand the concept about labels, but labels themselves over-complicate things because people can't stick to one bloody name as they discover themselves. My best advice? If you feel that your sexual orientation or gender label has too many footnotes and revisions, just go label-less. It's far easier trying to think up a way of explaining it in a sentence or two than just one word.
Also, hi again everybody! Long time no see.

45 day price guarantee, 45 day return policy, 100% secure shopping
A powerful guitar that combines traditional craft with contemporary refinements.
Takamine's powerful P7D dreadnought combines traditional craft with contemporary refinements: a solid spruce top with scalloped "X" top bracing, solid rosewood back and sides for rich clarity and projection, and elegant maple body binding with dark wood purfling and abalone rosette.
Built with the performer in mind, the P7D features Takamine's proprietary CTP-2 Cool Tube preamp system paired with the unique Palathetic under-saddle pickup for peerless amplified response. The dual-channel CTP-2 provides low-voltage tube tone, variable from bright and brilliant to thick and warm, three-band EQ with semi-parametric midrange, auxiliary input and volume (for use when a second pickup is added), and an onboard chromatic tuner.
Other performance-enhancing features include Takamine's asymmetrical neck profile - which is slightly thinner on the treble side so that it fits the natural shape of your hand, resulting in a comfortable feel and improved playability. The split bone saddle provides more accurate intonation, and the rosewood bridge features abalone-dot ivory pins.
Premium design appointments include an ebony fingerboard with ivory binding, abalone "snowflake" inlays, a dark rosewood headcap with abalone Takamine logo, gold tuners with gold buttons, a natural bone nut and smooth gloss natural finish.
The Cool Tube
After over two years of research and design time, Takamine has once again demonstrated their leadership in acoustic-electric guitar amplification technology.
The Cool Tube preamp introduced at the January 2004 NAMM show in Anaheim, California is the most significant development in "on-board" acoustic signal processing since Takamine presented the Acoustic DSP, the industry's first on-board "digital" acoustic guitar preamplifier in 1998. The Takamine Cool Tube preamp is an on-board acoustic- electric preamp that utilizes a 12AU7 dual triode vacuum tube. The "Cool Tube" packs a huge amount of features and amazing tone into a compact package that fits neatly into Takamine's "SoundChoice" docking port. The "Cool Tube" preamp joins a range of five distinctly different preamps that are all interchangeable, giving the Takamine player several great options to fit their personal style and taste.
- Dreadnought body
- Solid spruce top
- Solid rosewood back & sides
- Rosewood bridge
- Ebony fingerboard
- Gold tuners
- Abalone "snowflake" inlays
- Gloss natural finish
- CTP-2 Cool Tube preamp electronics
See why everybody's talking about Takamine. Order today.

The following table shows the default values and behaviors of the new properties in the JDK.
Values of access properties | Default Value | Set FSP(a) | jaxp.properties | system property | API property |
7u40 | all | no change | override | override | override |
JDK8 | all | change to "" | override | override | override |
(a) Set FSP means setting FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING explicitly using JAXP factories' setFeature method.
(b) The only behavioral difference between 7u40 and JDK8 is that setting FSP will not change accessExternal* properties in 7u40, but will set the value to an empty string in JDK8. Setting FSP is considered opt-in in JDK8.
(c) The order from left to right in the table reflects the overriding order. For example, if an accessExternal property is set through the API, it overrides any that may have been set by other means.
