Ground loops can cause endless problems, from wide darker bands that slowly move up or down your TV screen...no matter what channel you're on...to a 60 cycle hum from your speakers. We've helped thousands of people solve these problems with our coax ground breaker (63400) because, usually, the ground loop is caused by the connection to the cable TV line coming in.
But once in a while that doesn't fix the problem because the ground loop is within the AV equipment itself. When the ground loop includes the video signal, whether it's baseband (composite) video or component video, this device does the trick. Install it on up to four video cables to isolate the ground levels of your components.
