Hum when cablevision is plugged in to tv


I am trying to watch & listen to DVD's through stereo but get hum out of speakers when the cable tv is hooked up to back of tv. When I disconnect it the hum goes away. Never had this problem before until I moved to this apartment in big house. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

Get a cable isolator from Audio Advisor ($99) or make your own for about $4.
The cable isolator is the same thing as a ground loop interrupter, which Radio Shack sells for around $10 or less. I installed one on my son's TV cable and it did the job just fine.
This is a common problem. You have a ground loop caused by your cable connection. You need to isolate The cable from your system. Audio Advisor caries a product from Mondial called the Magic Block. AT $99 it is expensive, but it works.

Enjoy,
