the splitter. If you do not know which cable this is, go to the next step.
Otherwise, go to step 24.
23. If you have multiple TVs on the cable system, do the following to
determine which cable on the splitter is coming from the receiver:
• If you have at least some picture on your TV(s), turn on all remote
TVs connected to the cable system. Disconnect and reconnect each
cable one by one, observing what happens to the TV(s). When all
remote TVs lose the signal, you have disconnected the receiver's
cable. If only some or one TV loses the signal, then you have
disconnected a cable from the TV(s).
• If the above step does not work, disconnect one of the output cables
and connect to the splitter input. If you do not see a picture, connect
the cable back to its output. Repeat this step on every connection
until you get a picture on the remote TV(s).
24. Reconnect the receiver's cable to the input of the splitter.
25. Make sure you have a good picture on your remote TV(s).
