Ground Hummm with DVD player. Help !!

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I have gotten my new Samsung 32 inch LCD TV hooked up with Samsung DVD Player. PQ is Awesome!! I ran a cable from my digital out on the DVD player to my DAC on my 2 Channel Audio System, and now have a Ground Hum. I had this before with my VCR and never was able to solve it.
I have solved Ground Hum problems before, by using cheater plugs etc. - But this time, I have no clue what to do.
If I disconnect the TV antenna the ground Hum is slightly reduced. Unplugging the Surge Protector (3 Prong) with the TV, HD Tuner, and DVD PLugged into it removes the Ground Hum Completely. The 2 channel Audio System consists of a Pre-amp, Pair of 45 SET Monoblocks, Tuner, CD Player and DAC. When the Surge Protector (containing all the TV Components) is unplugged, I can connect the TV antenna and the Ground Hum Returns. Then plugging in the Surge Protecter it gets even louder.
I cannot use my audio System with my TV until I solve this. It appears I have 2 problems - The Plug in of the Surge Protector and the Antenna.
Any Ideas? - Thanks.
