SIRIUS Satellite Radio Inc. All rights reserved.
The DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module can be used with both Mi-Series and Tango Audio
Controllers.
All Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers come equipped with a DAS-AMFM AM/FM
Tuner Module. Since Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers support 2 Tuner Modules in any
combination, the DAS-SIRIUS Module can either be installed in addition to the DAS-AMFM
Module, or the DAS-AMFM Module can be removed to allow 2 DAS-SIRIUS Modules.
Each Tuner Module uses 1 source input on the Audio Controller.
Installation
Installing/removing Tuner Modules requires removing the cover from the Audio Controller, removing
the Tuner Option cover plate from the rear panel of the Controller, installing the Tuner Module, and
setting Jumpers on both the Tuner Module (to specify each Tuner Module as either TUNER 1 or TUNER
2), and the rear board pin-bus of the Audio Controller (to enable/disable Tuner Module slots 1 and 2).
Disconnect all power sources before opening the chassis. Failure to disconnect
power before performing this installation may cause injury or death.

Make sure to discharge all static electricity from your body before touching any
components of the Tuner Modules or the Audio Controller. Failure to do so may lead
to permanent damage to the Tuner or Controller.
Setting the Jumpers
While Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers support 2 Tuner Modules in any combination, this
document primarily describes installing the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module into Position 2 on the Audio
Controller (as TUNER 2), leaving the DAS-AMFM Tuner Module in position 1 (as TUNER 1).
Because of the location of the Jumpers in the Controller and on the Tuner Module, it
may be easier to make all jumper settings before installing the Tuner Module in the
Controller.

DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module Jumper Settings (Standard Installation)
There are 2 sets of Jumpers on the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module (FIG. 6). These must be set to
differentiate Tuner 1from Tuner 2 in the Controller.
Since Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers are shipped with a DAS-AMFM Tuner Module preinstalled in position 1, as Tuner 1, the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module, is typically installed in position #2
(labeled Tuner Option), as Tuner 2.

Installing the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module
Since Mi-Series and Tango Audio Controllers are shipped with a DAS-AMFM Tuner Module preinstalled in the Tuner 1 position (on the rear panel of the Controller - see FIG. 9), the DAS-SIRIUS
Tuner Module, is typically installed in position #2 (labeled Tuner Option).
Installing the DAS-SIRIUS Module Into Position 2
To install the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module into the Position 2 Tuner slot:
1. Remove the cover from the Audio Controller.
2. Remove the Tuner Option cover plate on the rear panel (FIG. 9) to expose the Position 2 mounting
slot for the Tuner Module.
3. Carefully insert the DAS-SIRIUS Tuner Module into the Controller, with the
electronics facing up, and replace the cover plate screws to secure the Module to the Controller.
