I got this idea of measurement from one of Chesky's newsletter which talks about finding the correct power polarity for equipment.
http://www.chesky.com/core/body_librarydetails.cfm?newsid=156
I think the results are fairly repeatable but I will try again using the electrical ground. Yes I have grounded outlets but all my AV equipment do not use the ground. Do you think it is helpful to manually ground the chassis to electrical ground if it doesn't generate ground loops?I use a digital multimeter and I can check if the impedance is indicated. As mentioned in my reply to Al Sekela, last week I was testing a Harmon Kardon (demo unit) surround receiver but after one day of use it started shutting off. I'm not sure if the TV fried it. But the more probable reason is that the HK's cooling fan didn't work because on the first day it was running very hot and I could never hear the fan run.
The TV is a Sharp color TV, probably less than 10 years. It has remote and is multi-system capable. It is supplied by the owner of the house which I am renting.
