Introduction
SIRIUS® 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 geostationary satellites, SIRIUS® Radio provides
digital quality sound, with a choice of 100 channels of diverse programming, including music, news, history, sports, and talk.
To make this system available to the motoring public, Audiovox has
engineered a state-of-the-art SIRIUS® Satellite Radio System, consisting of a Satellite Antenna (purchased separately), a Satellite Radio Receiver Unit (RRU), a Satellite Radio FM Switching Box, 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 SIRIUS® 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 configurations. In
addition, an optional wireless remote (Audiovox P/N SAT-RC) to control
SCU functions is also available. The SIRIUS® Satellite Radio signals
are received by the antenna and are routed to the RRU, whose RF output
is supplied to the FM Switching Box.

The FM Switching Box, in turn, is capable of transmitting on seven (7) FM
frequencies; namely, 88.1MHz, 88.3MHz, 88.5MHz, 88.7MHz, 88.9MHz,
89.1MHz and 89.3MHz.
The frequency is selected using the FM band of the existing vehicle radio.
(The default FM frequency is 88.5MHz.) Select the FM frequency having
the least noise or static, and then use the SCU to choose the SIRIUS
channel for your listening pleasure.

and held, the channel number will decrease continuously. Release the
button when the desired channel number is displayed. When used in
conjunction with the Shift (SFT) button, the MUTE function is enabled.
(See Mute Function Button section below)
3. Keypad Buttons 0-9: These buttons are used to directly enter a desired
channel number. Momentarily press the Shift (SFT) button followed by
the desired channel number then the Shift (SFT) Button. They are also
used when entering and recalling preset channel numbers into memory.

the channel number will increase with each press; when pressed and
held, the channel number will increase continuously. Release the button
when the desired channel number is displayed. When used in conjunction with the Shift (SFT) button, the SCAN function is enabled. (Refer

transmitted by an optional wireless remote control unit (P/N SATRC) for remote operation. Make sure no obstructions are blocking the
signal path.

7. Power On/Off ( ) Button: Press this button to apply power to the
Satellite Radio Receiver system. The associated radio must be turned on
and off separately using its power switch.
This button is also used to back light the number keys when the system is
on. To do so, momentarily pressed and release the Power On/Off Button.
The back lighting will last for 10 seconds.
8. Mute Function Button: Momentarily press the shift (SFT) button;
then press and hold the down directional (
mute function. When enabled, the audio program is muted and the Mute
icon ( ) appears in the lower right corner of the SCU display. Press
any button to exit the mute function.
9. Scan Functions:

mentarily press the Shift (SFT) button; then press and hold either directional button (
When enabled, each channel is scanned in the either direction for 10 seconds before moving on to the next active channel. This permits channel
preview or introductory sampling of channel programming. The channel
(CH) icon on the SCU screen will appear in reverse image (white-onblack) format. Press any button to exit the Scan function.
Scanning Preset Channels - [enter code (SFT)+0+9+6+1+(SFT)] This
function works in the same way as the Scanning All Channels mode,
except this mode will only scan the preset channels. You can configure up
to 20 preset channels (two groups of 10 channels, upper and lower).
Preset channel being previewed are displayed in the lower right corner. A
black number on white background indicates that it is part of the lower
group of channels and a White number on a Black background indicates
that it is part of the upper group. When scanning these channels an indicator will appear in the right corner of the screen.

SATELLITE RADIO RECEIVER (RRU)
The RRU is a central data-receiving unit, which is required to process
the satellite signals received by the externally mounted antenna
(purchased separately). The RRU contains the processing logic needed
to recognize, decode the incoming SIRIUS® program information and
then distribute a recognizable RF signal to the
NOTE: The SIRIUS® signal can be received and processed virtually
anywhere as long as there are no obvious Satellite Signal Obstructions
such as some parking garages, tunnels, tall structures and mountains
as illustrated in Figure A Possible Satellite Signal Obstructions.
The RRU is typically installed under the seat or in the trunk/rear of the
vehicle.
FM Switching Box.
SATELLITE RADIO RF MODULATOR
The RF Modulator receives the satellite RF signals from the RRU and
provides the necessary FM pass-band logic to recognize and pass these
signals on to your existing vehicle’s FM stereo system. So, when your
radio is tuned to one of the FM frequencies between 88.1MHz and
89.3MHz, you can enjoy SIRIUS® programming. The FM Switching Box is
typically mounted behind or under the dashboard.
