Default Sports Bar Hum Job Questions

This is normal. SOME of it may be on the feed itself. Use a pair of
headphones and connect it to one of the RCA audio feeds and see if you
hear the hum. Also look for hum bars on the video.


Okay, gotta find an RCA adapter. Radio Shark, here I come.


You don't really need one, you can hold the tip and ring of the headphone
plug against the tip and shield of a male RCA with your hands for a couple
seconds. But it's handy to have one.

They have nine video receivers, four of which are hooked to the Onkyo
receiver.


How? Do they have RF coming out or baseband video? If it's baseband
video, is it going into any kind of distribution amp?

If you hear it on headphones and see noise on the video, it's time to start
tearing the satellite system and the video distribution system coming out of
it apart.


That'll be somebody else's job. g


Probably not. Video guys seem not to know anything about audio and most
of them seem clueless about grounding too...
