Installing TriplePlay

Antex Electronics strongl y re commends that the XM-3000 TriplePlay unit and its antenna be installed by a professional installer. Brief instructions are presented here for reference purposes only.

Parts List

Before installing your XM-3000 TriplePlay, make s ure you have all the parts listed below :

• XM-3000 TriplePlay unit

• Antenna

• Remote control

• Power cord

• RCA audio cables (3)

• SMA to SMB RF Adapter

Positioning the Antenna

Prior to mounting the antenna or finding a permanent home for your XM-3000 TriplePlay, you first want to validate the position of the antenna.

1. Power on TriplePlay to m ake sure the unit h a s pow er. You should see a startup screen with Antex and XM logos,

followed by the main dis play (similar to that shown Figure on page 6).

2. Power off TriplePlay, and then c onn ec t the audio cables, IR, and RS232 control interfaces to the other components in your audio system.

3. Align the Antenn a as f ollows:

For Indoor installation on a flat surface:

a) Set antenna on its base on a flat horizontal surface. b) Turn the base of the antenna so that the XM logo is

facing to the south if you are in the eastern half of the U.S. and to the south/southeast if you are in the western half.

c) Use the “Signal Strength” screen, as des c ribed on page

12, to optimize antenna tilt angle and position.

d) If necessary, experiment with different locations near a

south-facing window or outside.

For outdoor installation or indoor wall mounting:

The antenna can als o be a tta ched vertically to an external or internal wall if tha t is mor e convenient than pla c ing it on a horizontal surface.

a) Holding your antenna up, find a wall location that

ensures a strong signal. b) Attach antenna to the wall using four screws . c) Tilt the antenna fully back on th e ba se, place the

antenna base on the four screw heads with the antenna

pivot at the top, and pull down approximately 1/4 inch

until the base is firmly secured. Note that the XM logo

will be upside down when the antenna is properly

installed. d) Tilt the antenna awa y from the wall/base until the signal

strength is optimized. Your antenna comes with 20 feet of c a ble. If that is not

sufficient to locate the antenna wher e there is a strong XM signal, purchase a 50- foot cable extension kit. Up to two extensions can be u s ed together for up to 120 total feet of cable. Alternatively, custom lengths of 50 ohm RG58U may be used or extension kits available from third party sources.

4. Power on your soun d system and turn the amplifier to a low volume.

5. Power on TriplePlay a nd tune to channel 1, a fr ee pr eview channel. Press 0-0- 1 on the front panel NUMERIC buttons.

If the system is working, you will hear XM programming on this channel and can proceed to S tep 6.

If there is a problem with the antenna connection, the TriplePlay’s front panel display w ill r ea d “Check Antenn a .” If the antenna does not have a clear path to the satellites, the front panel display will read “No Signa l”. Reposition the antenna until you hear music playing.

6. Finish installing T r iplePlay. a) House TriplePlay in its permanent location. Follow the

instructions in the section, “Hous ing TriplePlay” below.

b) Activate the unit follow ing the “Activating TriplePlay”

instructions.

XM-3000 TriplePlay

Housing TriplePlay

House the TriplePlay unit in a component rac k or other suitable location that provides adequate ven tilation. The maximum

ambient temperature should never exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

After mounting the a ntenna, connect the a udio cables (or optional TOSLINK), IR, and RS232 c ontrol interfaces to the other components in the sys tem. Turn the volume control of a mplifiers to a low level, then con nect the power cable to the T r iplePlay unit and power it on. A startup screen with An tex and XM logos will appear briefly, followed by the default dis pla y (see Figure on page 6).

Tune to channel 1, a free preview c hannel, by pressing 0-0-1 on the front panel NUM ERIC buttons. If the s ystem is working, you will hear XM programming a nd can proceed to activating the unit. If the front panel display reads “No Signal” or “Check Antenna,” reposition the antenna until you hear music playing.

Activating TriplePlay

After the channel 1 verification test, you must activate your XM3000 TriplePlay to access all XM channels. To do so you must first obtain the XM ID numbers of your unit; one I D for each of the three independent tuners (hereafter referred to as “zones”).

Follow the instru c tions below to obtain the XM ID numbers and activate your XM r adio service. An alternate m ethod if you are already familiar with operation of the unit is to tune each of th e three zones to channel 0.

Operating TriplePlay

XM-3000 TriplePlay pr ovides intuitive contr ol of its various functions via its front panel buttons as shown in Figure 2 on the next page, the remote control, i ts hardwired IR, and the RS232 port (for local and remote operation). TriplePlay is essentially three completely independent XM satellite tuners—that is “zones”—each of which can be tuned independently so that different audio channels play in different rooms.

Within each zone you can:

• Change channels and music categories

• Punch in a channel number to tune to it directly

• Set and tune to preset chann els—10 in each zone.

You can also use the SETUP menu to block specific channels, as well as add and skip ch an nels . Instructions f or a ll these features are provided in this s ection.

Default Display

The default display, as shown below, provides information about the channel each zone is currently tuned to, including category name, channel number, channel name, artist name, and song title.

Powering On TriplePlay

With the unit and antenna properly installe d, and the unit activated, press and r elea se the POWER button to turn on the unit. The XM and Antex logos will appear for 2 s econds, followed by the default display. (If th e SETUP menu appears, you held the POWER button too lon g . Press the SELECT button to return to the default display).

When the unit is in Channel mode you can scroll through and select any channel in the entire XM lineup regar dless of what category the channel belongs to by pressing the CHAN Up/Down buttons on the front of the unit. Channel mode is the default mode at power up. The second mode supported is the Category mode. When you switch to Category mode the CHAN Up/Down buttons scroll throu gh only the channe ls within the currently selected category of music. This is particularly useful when, for example, you just want to listen to and scroll through news channels only.

Changing Zones

The ZONE button is used to select the zone in which you want to change categories or channels. Press the ZONE button to cycle through the three zones in sequence. A highlighted zone in the default display (for exampl e, zone 1 in Figure 1) is the one to which any channel and category changes are applied.

The zones corresponding to audio outputs 1, 2, and 3 are numbered from top to bottom. As shown in Figure 1, zone 1 is at the top of the display, z one 2 in the middle, and zone 3 at the bottom.

Changing Categories

The audio channels of the XM service are conveniently organized into categories such as Hits, Rock, News, Sports, etc. The category of each zone is displayed in the tit le box of each zone. Press the CATEGORY up/down buttons to tune to a different category, and then pr es s the SELECT button to confirm the category selection . Note that the category n a m e, channel name, artist name, and song title information in the display changes to reflect the new category.

Changing Tuning Mode

TriplePlay supports two modes of channel tuning: Channel mode (default) and Category mode. These modes affect the how the CHAN Up/Down buttons function on the unit or remote control.

To switch between the two tuning modes, press the SELECT button. By default the unit is in Channel mode. When you press the SELECT button, the unit changes to Categor y mode. Category mode is indicated on th e display by the abbreviation “CAT” on line 2 of the front panel display, as s hown in Figure 1 on page 6. Press SELECT again to return to Normal mode. Note that you must press the SELECT button in isolation to change the tuning mode. Do not press any other channel or category buttons before pressing SELECT.

Changing Channels

You can change music channels in either Channel or Category mode using any of the follow ing:

• Channel up/down to scroll through channels

• Numbered buttons to tu ne directly to a specific channel

• Preset button to tune to a pres et c hannel

Use the CHANNEL up/down buttons to scroll th rough the channels within a zone and/or category. S imply scroll to the channel you desire, and then press the SELECT button to confirm the channel selection. You will notice that the channel name, artist name, and song title information in the display changes to reflect the new channel. Note that you must pr es s the SELECT button within four seconds of choosing a new channel or the channel change does not take effect.

You can also tune to a specific channel directly simply by entering its channel number using the NUMERIC buttons.

XM-3000 TriplePlay Multizone Satellite Audio Receiver 9

• When you enter a three-digit channel number, such as 1-5-5, TriplePlay automatically changes to that channel.

• When you enter a two-digit ch annel number, such as 1-8, you must then press the SELECT button for the channel change to take effect. (If you enter the channel number as 0-1-8, TriplePlay will ma ke the change automatical ly.)

When preset channels have been set, you can access those presets simply by pressing th e PRESET button, then an appropriate numeric button.
