HELP: how to eliminate speaker HUM?

Couple of suggestions on the sub:

1. Lift the ground with a cheater plug on the sub.

2. Check to see if the sub is connected on a different outlet/circuit.

The breaker for the outlet that the sub is plugged into may be on the other phase/rail in your main circuit breaker box, or the outlet could be wired out of code. Either of those could cause the hum also. If floating the ground doesn't work, check that all the room's outlets have a black wire to the brass screw and white wire to the nickle screw. If so- and you find that the breaker for sub's outlet IS on the opposite rail from the rest of the system; move it to same rail as the rest of the room's outlets. If floating the ground DOES work: PS Audio offers some nice cords with removable ground prongs, ie:(http://www.musicdirect.com/product/74108) an inexpensive one. If you haven't been using an upgraded power cord, you'll reap some sonic benefits in the replacement process. A cheater plug will take you in the other direction.

The hum might be caused by a component or transformer near your preamp/processor. I had a small 12V transformer slip under my lexicon processor and it created a hum just as you describe. Solution...move the transformer (or other device that causes the hum).

I have a capri as well and also had problems integrating it into an ht system. I only am getting hum only from the center ch but I am getting a loud "pop" when I change channels or pause a dvd. If I take the capri out, the problem goes away. Did you have this problem as well?
I need to find a solution because i like the capri too much to let it go.
