Please help. I have crosstalk...

In my bedroom system,I have an Audio Refinement Complete integrated amp with my T.V. plugged into aux and cdp/DVD player plugged into CD.When I have a CD playing,but setting is on Aux where T.V. is, I can hear the CD coming through.Is there anything that I can do to eliminate this crosstalk? It's not a major problem, but psychologically, I know the crosstalk is there. Thanks for your recommendations.

How loud is the CD coming through relative to the TV ? I once had a terrible crosstalk problem until I discovered I'd accidentally plugged the CD player into the tape-out (reaching behind a cabinet in the dark). Once I'd corrected this the crosstalk went away.
Now I can never detect even the slightest hint of crosstalk, so your situation seems a bit odd.

I checked the connections and they are correct. The CD is coming through at very low level and only then when the T.V volume is off and the ARC volume is cranked.

Maybe try a good power conditioner?

I remember hearing somewhere that crosstalk can be a result of dirty power carrying reflections from one piece of gear to another. Havent verified it myself, could be total BS, but might be worth a try.
