buzz/hum from tv

I have a 31" Panasonic tubed tv in a HT set up. I am using the Paradigm Studio 100's/450cc/dipolars for speakers. Ensemble wires rca's/power. Integra Research RDA7 amp and Marantz av9000 preamp. I have a minor noise, when the tv is off, with system on, but the noise is about 3x as loud when the tv is on.
I have also noticed that the closer the speakers are to the tv (front/center), even with the sound system off, (tv on) the speakers pick up a buzz. There is also a buzz from the tv's own speakers (which I do not use).
I believe it's the tube of the tv. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This does sound like the same problem. I do plan on trying to pull the tv out, as you said, and just see if the tv itself is still buzzing. If it is I might get the tv checked out. I'm waiting til after the holidays to experiment more. I'll update the post in a couple weeks.
That noise can realy drive you crazy on certain movies.
Another step would be a different rack, right now they are in a tight unit.

Hello:

I was looking at this thread and I have the exact same issue. Were you able to solve this?

Thanks.

I have a Panasonic 36 inch and had almost verbatim the same problem you described. I ended up using a Monster HTS 1000. I plugged the cable line into the Monster and the noise disappeared. Everything I tried prior to this point failed to get the noise out of the TV. I tried magnetic filters on power cords as well as disconnecting things, changing circuits etc.
