Hum from DVD video cable

Yesterday I connected a dvd player to my stereo system.I
connected the audio cables to my AES AE-3 preamp and the video cable from the tv to the dvd player.When I turned everything on,there was a very loud hum coming through my speakers.I checked to make sure everything was set up
correctly.The hum continued even with the volume turned down.I removed the video cable from the dvd player,and the hum stopped.Is this a problem caused buy a poorly shielded
cable or could it be a ground problem?

A couple basic thoughts:
1. Have you checked the cable making sure it is not defective?
2.Are you hooking up the video 'out' from the dvd to video 'in' on the tv?

It sort of sounded to me like maybe you hooked the wrong cable up to your dvd player. Hope this helps
