Placing the SR4021 system
Antenna
Connect and position the SIRIUS home antenna by inserting the antenna
cable into the antenna input on the rear of the SR4021 system. Position
the supplied antenna on the roof, near a window or other suitable
location. For tips on locating the antenna for best reception please visit
www.sirius.com or www.siriuscanada.ca and refer to the Home
Antenna Placement Tips section.
Smaller Speaker Unit
All stereo-encoded information is heard through the smaller speaker
unit. Position the smaller speaker unit on a level surface and within
21 feet (6.4 meters) of the SIRIUS home antenna.
Larger Subwoofer Unit
The larger subwoofer unit contains no stereo imaging, and its sound is
non-directional. As a result, the subwoofer doesn’t have to be placed in
any particular relationship to the smaller speaker unit and may be
hidden under a desk or placed in the corner of the room. Placing the
subwoofer on the floor close to a wall or room corner provides better
bass efficiency and optimum sound.
Stacking the Smaller and Larger Units
The smaller speaker unit and larger subwoofer unit can also be stacked
in one location by placing the speaker unit on top of the subwoofer unit.
Warning: The larger subwoofer unit is not magnetically shielded. As such,
it SHOULD be placed at least 2 feet (0.6m) from TVs, computer monitors,
computer hard drives or any other magnetic media (e.g., floppy disks, Zip
disks, computer or audio tapes, etc.).
Making Connections
To ensure first-time operation as expected, please carefully follow the
connection sequences described below in the order indicated.
1. Place the appropriate SIRIUS docking cup and adapter inside the
docking bay. Docking cups and adapters are identified with molded
in numbers that correspond to specific SIRIUS receiver models. The
docking cup and adapters are shown on the quick connection guide
that is printed on the inside flaps of the carton. This information is
also available by visiting www.alteclansing.com/SR4021.
2. Place your SIRIUS receiver inside the correct docking cup/adapter
combination.
3. If you choose to stack the smaller and larger units, insert the DIN
cable from the larger subwoofer unit into the input marked “DIN” on
the back of the smaller speaker unit. If you choose to hide the larger
subwoofer unit, plug one end of the DIN cable extension into the DIN
cable from the larger subwoofer unit, and plug the other end of the
DIN cable extension into the back of the smaller speaker unit.
4. Insert the power cord into a wall outlet.
Start Playing
Turn on your SIRIUS receiver. The SR4021 system is now ready to play
and a blue LED should be lit.
Volume
The VOLUME knob on the SR4021 speaker system controls the master
volume. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the volume and counter-
clockwise to decrease the volume. Master volume can also be controlled
using your SIRIUS receiver’s wireless remote, if available.
Wireless Remote-compatible
When the SIRIUS receiver is docked, you can use your SIRIUS wireless
remote to control the SR4021 speaker system volume (remote not
included). Simply point your wireless remote at the SIRIUS receiver to
control volume and other functions.
