I agree with the tester. Though I do not have/use one myself (how I do it is a lot more work) but that is the easiest. There are two types of testers.
One is a radio transmitter with a directional receiver. You hook the tranmitter to the wire (Shield or nut or sleeve) and then "Track" it with the receiver. This will tell you WHERE teh cable goes but if more than one cable goes there...
The other one is a tone generator (Audio) and a speaker... You hook the generator to say the cable in the bedroom. then test each cable at the entaintement center and the one that goes BEEP.... Lable it "Bedroom"
then move the sender to another cable and repeat.
