Picture problems on TV from CD player


When my CD player is turned on to play or even in the standby mode it sends a signal to all TVs in the house which creates herringbone lines on a couple of channels. The same channels on all tVs in the house are affected.. When the CD player is turned completely off the lines go away. I have tried several power condioners but none have cleared up this problem. I do not watch the TV in the same room when I am listening to the player but others in the house are annoyed by this problem when watching these channels and I am listening in the systems room. The player is a Electrocompaniet ECM 1 but it also occurred when I had an Athem CD 1 player in the house. Any ideas on how to clear up this situation?

It sounds like you're experiencing RF interference from the CD player. You can try two things: 1) Ferrite clamps on the cables of the CD and TV AND 2) Moving the CD player to a different spot in the room and using a different wall socket. As to the interference on the other TV's in the house, do you have a video distribution system i.e, can you transmitt video signals from your set-up to others in the house? If the answer is yes, then you may have a problem with the distribution system not being properly insulated. Good Luck!
