buzz/hum from tv

Isolate the problem. Do you have cable? Thats always a big problem. Dissconnect the cable. What kind of lights? Any dimmer swithes? Do you have a power strip hooked up on an outlet with everything plugged into it?

Try plugging your tv into an outlet further away from your stereo.

I disconnected the cable (no difference). Switched tv power to a different outlet(power line) still no difference. I have a dedicated power line to my system (20amp) and I am running a (Quantum octave 8) power strip from there with my amp, preamp and tv. Then another strip (ensemble) is powering my cd player, dvd player, cable box and vcr. The ensemble strip is powered by the octave also.
I do have a dimmer switch on a light in the next room, I could disconnect that or maybe just turn off that switch from the fuse panel to see if the noise is still there. Please let me know. I thank you people for your responses.

Start with just the amp. and speakers. Then connect one component at a time. Keep us posted!

I suspect all will be okay and then when you hook-up the TV, the humm will return. Few of us have all that much good luck combining TV with stereo.

Also, look to your television source, be it cable or Satellite. There is power coming into the system from those feeds and they are often incompatible with high-end stereo.
