Introduction
XM® Satellite Radio is a new and exciting audio experience on your
radio dial; it provides you with digital audio programming at the touch
of a button. By using two geo-stationary satellites, XM® Radio provides
digital quality sound, with a choice of 100 channels of diverse pro-
gramming, including music, news, history, sports, and talk.
To make this system available to the motoring public, Audiovox has
engineered a state-of-the-art XM® Satellite Radio System, consisting
of a Satellite Antenna (purchased separately), a Satellite Radio Re-
ceiver Unit (RRU), a Satellite Radio RF Modulator, a Satellite System
Control Unit (SCU) and an optional wireless remote control. By using
the FM section of any car stereo system, the RF signal information is
demodulated and produces the audio output to your existing stereo
system speakers. Since XM® Satellite Radio will operate through the
FM stereo system, adjustment of the audio functions (volume, tone,
balance, etc.) is made by using the controls on the car radio, while
selection of the desired audio channel is made using the Satellite
System Control Unit (SCU).
How the System Operates
Control of system functions is achieved by the wired SCU, which can
be conveniently mounted to the dashboard in a number of configura-

to control SCU functions is also available. The XM® Satellite Radio
signals are received by the antenna and are routed to the RRU, whose
