Ground Loop Humm/Buzz from Television


Hello:

Any suggestions on the following: I have noticed a humm/buzz in my speakers that I suspect is some kind of ground loop. However, it appears ONLY when the television itself is on and disappears when I turn it off. I tried lifting the ground on the tv (which, by the way, is tied to a properly ground satellite cable/box) but to no avail. I haven't found any precedent in any of the archives so any thoughts out there?

Thanks.
John

A TV can generate a LOT of electro-magnetic garbage that could be picked up by your other equipment. It may not be easy to do but putting some distance between the TV and the rest of your stuff, at least temporarily, would tell you. Good excuse to go out get a new plasma TV!
