leftwinger57 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hi guys, As you may or may not know I have been trying to get tunes from older Gateway to my Yamaha RX-V665. After running a 50ft lenght of 2 RCAs and h/ud up to both devices I got music but an intolerable hum along with it.Today I was messing around w/ the rear of the Yamaha and low and behold by removing my tv HDMI cord all hum was gone and the music came through loud and clear. I know this is not the scenario I wanted but clearly it's a step in the right direction.Gateway was no help it's an older unit and Yamaha could not explain why removing a plug rectified one problem.I'm kinda happy that the lenght is not an issue but on the other hand I have no idea what is causing the interference.Now to read your responses, I thought I'd get this out first.......LW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Richard Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 It appears you have equipment plugged into different outlets, causing a ground loop. Removing the HDMI broke the loop. Try moving the Gateway and plugging it into the same recepticle with the Yamaha. You could also have a problem with your cabling. Verify that the wires are the proper ones and are connected properly.
