Help Cable is causing a Buzz/Hum in HomeTheatre Amp.


Hi All,
I have a Home Theatre with seperate components (Sony EP9ES and ATI 1505). I JUST installed cable and it is causing HUM in my system. I KNOW that is the source....when I disconnect the cable from the HDTV, the HUM stops. Do I need some type of filter?
Thanks!

If you must buy something from the store, use the $7 solution mentioned above. This is NOT a $100 problem!!! I just took a wire with an aligator clip on one end clipping it to the "shield" on the tv cable and connecting the other end to my power source ground (for me this is the case of my PS Audio power plant, but you can connect it to the ground on your wall socket if you don't have a power device.)
