Marantz AV7701

I am experiencing horrible humm issues with my 7701 setup.
7701 is connected via XLR to 5 mono amps. Combination of Bryston and Wyred.
The 7701 when connected creates a humm noise independently of volume. The higher the amp gain and speaker sensitivity the higher the noise. I have a suspicion there is some wrong with grounding or what have you?
All units are powered and grounded via a BELKIN Power Unit.
Any ideas? I am ready to ship the 7701 back but wanted to get your input maybe i'm missing something...
Thx

Folks, thx for the help.
I did unplug the HDMI Channel from my comcast HD box and the hum disappeared. Seems, like one of you said, an issue w ground looping.
I would imagine the big challenge now is to solve the ground loop - Other wise my cable box is useless more or less.
