Subject: TV Picture Distortion Caused by Receiver

Question
I have a Harman Kardon Receiver that causes the picture on my Pioneer 60" Plasma TV to be distorted ONLY when I turn on my receiver.  Waves of lines appear in the background. Any suggestions for "filtering" this picture noise?
Thanks!

Answer
Most probably it is either electrical or cable related so try powering both pieces from different outlets also try better connecting leads between devices in type and quality in other words if you are using composite (normal AV RCA) move up to S-video or better even move to component or best move to HDMI and for any of these kinds cables vary in quality so get good cables which might have gold plated tips and good earthing

Good luck and keep me in the loop of how it went

N George
