I am getting a steady hum for the speakers when turn on !
have tried external speakers, still have the same problem !
what might it be ??
thanks

Disconnect the input(s) and see if it hums in the absence of an audio source. A bad audio cable shield or unwisely-routed audio cables will allow entrance of unwanted signals from external power sources, magnetic fields, even dimmer-controlled track lights. Sometimes, simply reversing the orientation of the ac power plug can eliminate humming.
Reverse the cables Left to Right to see if it stays with the cable or the input channel. Follow it back to the source, isolating in the same manner. Eventually you will find the entrance point of the hum. Freqquently a cable
Is the hum in the receiver-attached speakers or the sub?
Self-powered sub?
How is the sub attached - RCA or speaker-level?

If it hums with the sub attached, unplug the sub's power cord. Differences in AC ground potentials will generate hum across linked devices.
