Cable problems

[ruddie66]

I’ve cable hook up in living area working fine. Can’t get it to work in bedroom. Taken jacks off ceilings in both rooms tighten cables. Still nothing in bedroom. Any suggestions??

Did you check the connections on the splitter? In my 26RR, there is a splitter in the ceiling above the LR connection. Gently pull on the coax cable to the plate, and it should come out.

Yes, checked both all needed alittle tightening. Still have no picture or audio.

Why from the splitter in ceiling there are cables that go to the Furrion radio/dvd ? I’m thinking there is something not right w/ splitter and may have to put my own in.

Why is there cables that run from splitter to back of the furrion player. Talked w/ tech at furrion they said there should not be any cables from player to splitter, it should be a direct connection to tv.

So here’s the latest. Found an actual cable splitter buried further up in the ceiling. This is from LR cable connection plate. All 3 cables attached to this new found splitter were some what lose. Tighten all, retried tv in BR, now have 5 of 7 channels. That’s as good as it gets. Thanks for your assistance.

Make sure the cables are on the correct ports of the splitter.
It should be marked. Some ports may have better pass-through abilities.
It will likely work wherever they are connected to but 'may' work better if connected correctly.

More than likely the fittings on either the splitter or wall plate are not on correctly, or the cable was not prepped properly. If the cable is shorted out you will have bad or no signal. You can use a volt meter. Check continuity by touching the the center conductor with one probe and the outside of the fitting with the other. It should be infinite and no sound. If it beeps its shorted. Also you could put a RF terminator on side and test in ohms and you should get 75 ohms. Splitter could also be bad, but my money would be on poor workmanship on the fittings. Center-conductor carries the signal. The white foam dielectric keeps the center conductor centered for proper impedance and the braid/foil layer is the ground. Braid touching the center will show as a shorted.
