Like mentioned if it is indeed a ground loop (very common with cable) then a $5.00 isolation transformer will solve it. Try disconnecting cable from the system and play a DVD or some other video source. If the lines are gone that's your problem. A power conditioner is NOT the solution for ground loops. -- mswlogo Thinkpad XP SS > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF-COAX > Meridian 861V4 (Trifield, Room corrected, Upsampled) > DSP5500 Mains, DSP5500HC Center, DSP33 Rears ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41369 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
