UT
from the output of
the splitter to the input of the splitter using the instructions that follow.

O
UT
refers to all TVs connected to your cable system. The places where the
splitter indicates In refers to where the TV signal is fed into the splitter.
17. Find where the TV signal is distributed throughout your house. It should be
near where the cable TV service enters the house.
18. Disconnect the cable TV service cable or antenna cable from the splitter
input, if necessary. Make sure the disconnected cable is capped or otherwise
protected from the weather.
19. Disconnect the cable coming from the receiver CH 21–69 Out port from the
splitter. If you do not know which cable this is, go to the next step.
Otherwise, go to step 21.
20. 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).
21. Reconnect the receiver’s cable to the input of the splitter.
22. Make sure you have a good picture on your remote TV(s).
