I recently started experiencing diagonal lines on my TV when I use my receiver for sound.
Here's the setup.
DVD Player
- Component to Receiver (Video)
- RCA to Receiver (Audio)
Surround Receiver
- Component to Television
Television
- Component from Receiver
Nothing fancy. However when I have this setup and watch a DVD with sound through the receiver I get faint diagonal lines running through the picture from bottom right to top left. If I remove the DVD-to-Receiver RCA connection (and connect the DVD player to the TV audio input) the lines go away.
The strange thing about this is that I dont have to connect the RCA jacks necessarily to the receiver. I can get the same thing from just touching the cables to anything metal on the receiver.
Any ideas?
I have read the "Ground Loop Interference" threads and I dont think this is the case as everything is plugged into the same outlet.
