Listening to Satellite Radio
To listen to Satellite Radio, you’ll need to connect either a SIRIUS or XM Satellite Radio tuner (sold separately) to your
satellite-ready receiver. Satellite Radio is available to residents of the US (except Alaska and Hawaii).
Satellite Radio delivers a variety of commercial-free music from categories ranging from Pop, Rock, Country, R&B,
Dance, Jazz, Classical and many more plus coverage of all the top professional and college sports including play by play
games from select leagues and teams. Additional programming includes expert sports talk, uncensored entertainment,
comedy, family programming, local traffic and weather and news from your most trusted sources.
Whether you purchase a SIRIUS or XM tuner, you’ll need to activate and subscribe to begin enjoying the service. Easy to
follow installation and setup instructions are provided with the satellite tuners. Whichever service you choose, there are a
variety of programming packages available, including the option of adding “The Best of SIRIUS” programming to your
XM tuner or “The Best of XM” programming to your SIRIUS tuner, enabling you to enjoy the most popular
programming among both services. The “Best of” packages are not available to SIRIUS or XM Canada subscribers at
this time. Family friendly packages are also available to restrict channels featuring content that may be inappropriate for
children.
To subscribe to XM, U.S. customers should visit xmradio.com or call 1-800-XMRADIO (1-800-967-2346).
To subscribe to SIRIUS, U.S. customers can call 1-888-539-SIRI (1-888-539-7474) or visit sirius.com (US).
Connect XM Mini-Tuner and XM Mini-Tuner Home
Dock (sold separately) to the XM jack on the rear panel of
this unit. For details, see the operating instructions
provided with the XM Mini-Tuner Home Dock.

•
To ensure optimal reception of the XM Satellite Radio signals, the XM
Mini-Tuner Home Dock must be placed at or near a southerly facing
window with no obstacles in the path to the sky. You can mount it indoors
or outdoors. Use the “Antenna” information on the front panel display or
on the GUI screen (page 36) to check the antenna reception level and
adjust the orientation of the antenna.
Notes
•
If “CHECK ANTENNA”, “CHECK XM TUNER” or “NO SIGNAL”
appears on the front panel display, the connection and setting of the
antenna, XM Mini-Tuner Home Dock, or XM Mini-Tuner may not be
correct.
•
When “UPGRADE XM TUNER” is displayed, it means that the
connected antenna is old. See page 70 for details.
Once you have installed the XM Mini-Tuner Home Dock,
inserted the XM Mini-Tuner, connected the XM Mini-
Tuner Home Dock to your XM Ready® home audio
system, and installed the antenna, you are ready to
subscribe and begin receiving XM programming. There
are three places to find your eight character XM Radio ID:
on the XM Mini-Tuner, on the XM Mini-Tuner package,
and on XM Channel 0. Record the XM Radio ID in the
following eight squares for reference.
Note
•
The XM Radio ID does not use the letters “I”, “O”, “S” or “F”. Activate
your XM Satellite Radio service in the U.S. online at http://
activate.xmradio.com/ or call 1-800-XM-RADIO (1-800-967-2346). You
will need a major credit card. XM will send a signal from the satellites to
activate the full channel lineup. Activation normally takes 10 to 15
minutes, but during peak busy periods you may need to keep your XM
Ready home audio system on for up to an hour. When you can access the
full lineup on your XM Ready home audio system you are done.
