Hum from Digitheatre DTS

I am getting some hum from my Digitheatre DTS. I was wondering if anybody could suggest anything to reduce this. I have tried having only it plugged in to the wall and the hum is still present. It is quite annoying so I would really like to reduce it, if I can`t remove it completely.

Cheers,
Paul

The hum is coming from all of the speakers including, the centre and the subwoofer. There is no way I could change wiring for these, as I could for the rest, so I think that it must be mains hum. Can I buy anything to combat this, and if so where is it available and how much does it cost?

Cheers,
Paul

I have a hum with my sub-woofer and there was nothing I could do to stop it. The sub-woofer was fine when it was away from all my mains extension leads and speaker cables.

The buzzing will definately be related to some EM field generated by all the wires or maybe a dodgy power surply lead. Could you try changing the power lead to your sub? What about cutting off any excess speaker cable to try and reduce any interference.

The power lead can`t be disconnected from the subwoofer. The cable to the centre speaker can`t be cut any as it is not standard speaker cable it also carries the control signals to the subwoofer. All other speaker cable is just the right length.
