Just remember, take the system down to its simplest level of connection. Find a way to hook the
system up with as many pieces of the system missing or not connected. Keep it simple and get it
to the point where the hum’s gone. Then start adding back components one at a time until the hum
returns.
Cables can be a big problem. Many audio cables and video cables are not well shielded.
You might find that the hum is isolated to a certain piece of gear in the chain, but later discover any
piece of gear placed in that input is subject to hum. This can usually be narrowed down to bad
cables.
Make sure the cables you use are properly shielded. PS Audio manufacturers an excellent line
of audio and video cables that are well shielded and will cause no problems when used in an AV
system.
Finding the problem is 9/10th of the work in finding a solution.
Good luck and call us if you need help or use our web site’s automated Humbuster section.
