Delphi CD Audio System
The Delphi CD Audio System delivers multiple audio
playback options—all in one very smart, perfectly
portable package. Choose between these options for
your listening enjoyment: XM Satellite Radio with
your XM SKYFi Receiver (Delphi model number
SA10000, sold separately), compact disc playback
(including CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 files), or AM/FM
radio. A rotating multifunction central unit allows
you to select the module of your choice.
Before operating your Delphi CD Audio System,
connect the supplied 12V A/C power adaptor to the
jack on the rear of the unit (Figure 2), and the other
end to a wall outlet. (For battery operation, see page
11.) When the system powers up, it will play in the
last mode selected.
The central unit of the Delphi CD Audio System
rotates forward and back 180 degrees. Please
follow the direction of the arrows on the top left
corner of each side when rotating. CAUTION: Do
not use excessive force, which could damage
the Delphi CD Audio System. Before rotating the
central unit:
• Store excess cable on the tab on the back of
the lower tube so that the antenna cable does
not interfere with rotation
• Retract the telescoping FM antenna and snap
it into its storage well
COMPONENTS
The following components are included with your
Delphi CD Audio System:

for complete system opera-
tion and control information.
Positioning the XM Antenna
The XM antenna that comes with your Delphi CD
Audio System is a high-gain antenna that can
receive XM’s signal from XM’s satellites and/or,
depending on where you live, XM’s land-based
repeaters. It is recommended that the antenna be
positioned near a south-facing window or outdoors
with a clear view of the southern sky in order to
receive the satellite signal. In some cases, it will be
possible to receive XM’s signal through standard
home walls or a roof.
To position your antenna, first set up the Delphi CD
Audio System as described earlier in this guide.
Next, position the antenna until you receive the
strongest possible satellite signal (refer to Optimizing
XM Antenna Signal, page 9). If a satellite signal is
not available, you can optimize your antenna for a
terrestrial signal (signal from land repeater, where
available).

receiving a strong signal indoors, you can mount
the XM antenna directly on the back of the Delphi
CD Audio System.
1. Wind the antenna cable around the tab on the
back of the lower tube, leaving several inches of
cable free.
2. Fold the antenna down flat against its base.
3. Position the antenna so that the XM logo is
upside down. Then place the antenna base flush
against the back of the Delphi CD Audio System
so that the four pegs line up with the four slots
in the antenna base. Slide the antenna down
approximately 3/8 inch until the antenna is
securely docked. (See Figure19).
Figure 20
4. Position the antenna by pivoting the half with
the XM logo away from the back of the Delphi
CD Audio System. Then turn the entire system
until you get the strongest signal.
5. Use the “Antenna Aiming” screen (as described
under Optimizing XM Antenna Signal) to optimize
the antenna tilt angle and position.

Indoor Installation on a Flat Surface
To aim your antenna at the satellite:
1. Set antenna flat against its base on a flat
(horizontal) surface.
2. Turn the base of the antenna so that the XM
logo faces to the south.
3. Use the “Antenna Aiming” screen to optimize
the antenna tilt angle and position.
4. If necessary, experiment with different locations
near a south-facing window or outside.

Your antenna comes with 10 feet of cable. If that is
not sufficient to locate the antenna where there is a
strong XM signal, you may purchase a 50-foot cable
extension (Delphi model number SA10006) from
your SKYFi retailer. Up to two extensions can be
used together for up to 110 total feet of cable.
Outdoor Installation or Indoor Wall Mounting
For maximum flexibility and convenience, your
XM antenna can also be attached vertically to an
external or internal wall.
1. Holding the antenna up, find a wall location that
provides a strong signal. It is recommended that
you use an extension cord to temporarily locate
your Delphi CD Audio System outdoors while
optimizing the antenna location with the
“Antenna Aiming” screen.
2. Attach four screws to the wall using the screwlocator pattern in Figure 22. (First, photocopy
the pattern to use as a template.) Use screws
with head sizes small enough to fit in the center
of each of the four holes but large enough not to
pop out of the elongated sections. #4 pan-head
screws (3/8-inch long) are recommended. Leave
1/8 inch of the screw shanks visible between the
heads and the wall.
Figure 22: Screw Locator Pattern
3. Tilt the antenna fully back on its base. Place the
antenna base on the four screw heads with the
antenna pivot at the top, and pull down approximately 3/8 inch until the base is firmly secured
on the wall. (Note that the XM logo will be
upside down when the antenna is properly
installed.)
4. Tilt the antenna away from the wall/base until
the signal is optimized.
Note: Do not cut the antenna cable and attach alternative connectors or cable. The cable and connectors
included with your Delphi CD Audio System are
specially chosen to ensure that they will work with
XM’s unique frequency band. Use only an XMapproved extension kit (Delphi model number
SA10006) with your SKYFi system.
Controlling Volume, Bass, and Treble
Controlling Volume
Use the volume knob on the SKYFi panel or the
Vol+/- keys on the remote control to adjust volume
when playing XM Satellite Radio stations.
If you also use your SKYFi Receiver with a SKYFi
Vehicle Adaptor or Home Adaptor kit, the SKYFi
Receiver will remember the volume level previously
set when connected to the Delphi CD Audio System
and will return to that setting the next time the system is used.
Note that the “Line Out” level cannot be reset while
the SKYFi Receiver is in the Delphi CD Audio System
since the volume control should be used to control
the audio output. If the line out setting is adjusted
while the receiver is in the SKYFi Vehicle Cradle or
Home Stand and is later reconnected to the
Delphi CD Audio System, it will automatically
return to the prior setting the next time it is
used in the SKYFi Vehicle Cradle or Home
Stand.
Bass and Treble
In SKYFi mode, bass and treble can be adjusted
by pressing the “Menu” button on the SKYFi
Receiver or remote, selecting “Bass + Treble,”
and then setting these features in the same
manner as other menu functions*.
If the SKYFi Receiver is removed from the
Delphi CD Audio System and used in a vehicle
or home adaptor, the bass and treble settings
on the SKYFi Receiver display will be “flat” or
“zero” since the audio signal will be processed by
the vehicle or home audio system. When the SKYFi
Receiver is returned to its cradle in the Delphi CD
Audio System, it will resume the most recent bass
and treble settings.
*Refer to the
SKYFi Operating Guide
for more specific information on
operating your SKYFi Receiver.

Headphones
You may listen to your Delphi CD Audio System
through headphones. Plug the headphones into the
headphone jack on the back of the right speaker
enclosure. Many popular styles and types of headphones or ear buds can be used as long as their
plugs and/or adaptors fit the industry standard 3.5
mm diameter stereo jack.
You may also use the headphone jack as your line
output jack to play through your home stereo system. Note: Most home stereo systems will work
with the Delphi CD Audio System. Due to Delphi’s
effort to maintain a distortion-free signal, some
home systems may exhibit a lower volume output
when connected to the Delphi CD Audio System
compared to other sources (e.g., CD players).
CAUTION: Hearing damage from loud
noise is almost undetectable until it is too
late. Your hearing can adapt to higher volumes
of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud
and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions
by adjusting the volume control on your audio
system to a safe sound level before your hearing
adapts to it. To help avoid hearing loss or damage, do the following:
1. Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.
2. Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably and clearly.
BATTERY OPERATION OF THE DELPHI CD
AUDIO SYSTEM
You can operate your Delphi CD Audio System with
six D-cell batteries (not supplied) outdoors or in
other locations without access to an A/C power
source. Alkaline or rechargeable NiCD or NiMH batteries are recommended. Battery life will vary
depending on how the system is operated and the
type of batteries used.
Note: Rechargeable batteries are available in several
different capacities; the larger the “mAh” rating, the
longer the Delphi CD Audio System should play.
Some rechargeable batteries may provide sufficient
power for only 2 to 3 hours of playing time before
requiring recharging. To preserve battery life, the
A/C adaptor is recommended as the primary power
source for the Delphi CD Audio System. A 12V D/C
adaptor (Delphi model number SA10033) is also
available for use with 12V D/C portable power
sources or from a parked vehicle.
To insert batteries:
1. Disconnect the power adaptor from the back of
the Delphi CD Audio System.
2. Remove the left-side end cap from the lower
tube by unscrewing the cap counterclockwise
(Figure 24).
3. Insert six D-size (R20) batteries into the battery
compartment (lower tube). Make sure the
batteries face in the correct direction by verifying
that the positive (+) and negative (-) symbols in
the battery compartment match the same
symbols on the batteries.
4. Removing batteries is recommended when your
Delphi CD Audio System will not be in use for
an extended period of time. Batteries will discharge slowly (approximately 30 days) even
when the Delphi CD Audio System is not in use.

CARING FOR YOUR DELPHI CD AUDIO
SYSTEM
Clean the Delphi CD Audio System cabinet and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water
only. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder, or solvent, such as isopropyl alcohol or
benzene.
WARNING: Unplug the A/C power adaptor
during cleaning to avoid any electrical shock
hazard.
Precautions
CAUTION: Servicing of the Delphi CD Audio
System should be done by qualified personnel
only. In particular, do not disassemble the CD
player housing. The laser beam is harmful to the
eyes. Follow these additional safety precautions:
• Do not attempt to remove solid objects or
liquids that fall into the Delphi CD Audio
System. Discontinue operation, unplug the unit,
and consult qualified service personnel.
• Do not use non-standard compact discs (e.g.,
mini discs or square-, heart-, or star-shaped
discs) in the Delphi CD Audio System.
Attempting to use non-standard discs may
damage the unit.
Power Sources
• For A/C operation, it is recommended that only
the supplied A/C power adaptor be used. If
another adaptor is needed, make sure it is a
12V, 1800mA D/C adaptor with a unified polaritytype jack.
• As long as the Delphi CD Audio System is
connected to the wall outlet, it will continue
to draw power, even if it is turned off.
• Unplug the A/C power adaptor from the wall
outlet when the Delphi CD Audio System is not
to be used for an extended period of time.
• The Delphi CD Audio System takes six D-size
(R20) batteries.
• When the batteries are not being used, remove
them. This will help avoid possible damage to
your Delphi CD Audio System from battery
leakage or corrosion. Batteries will discharge
slowly, even when the Delphi CD Audio System
is not being used. (New alkaline batteries will
discharge in approximately 30 days when left
unused in the Delphi CD Audio System.)
Placement
• Place the Delphi CD Audio System on a flat and
stable surface to reduce the risk of the unit
falling and breaking.
• Protect the Delphi CD Audio System from the
direct rays of the sun, which can damage the
unit.
• Keep spring-wound watches or personal credit
cards using magnetic coding away from the
Delphi CD Audio System. The strong magnets
used for the speakers can erase magnetic coding
and can impair watch function.
CAUTION: The two-inch-long bass response
ports on either side of the top tube on your Delphi
CD Audio System are designed to maximize airflow
to the speakers for improved bass response.
Inserting objects into these openings may impair
speaker function and can damage the unit.
Protecting From Water Damage
• Before opening or closing the Delphi CD Audio
System CD player or battery compartment cover,
be sure to wipe off any water, dust, or sand on
the outside of the unit.
• The supplied A/C power adaptor is not waterresistant. To avoid electrical shock hazard, do
not use the Delphi CD Audio System near water
during A/C operation.
• Do not wash under running water. Water in the
headphone jack or other jacks and openings
may cause rusting and possible malfunction.
• Do not use soap or detergent.
• If the Delphi CD Audio System is splashed with
salt water or other liquid, wipe clean with a
damp cloth, then dry with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not dry with an electric hair dryer, as the
unit’s plastic parts are not rated to withstand the
high temperatures generated by hair dryers.
• When transferring the Delphi CD Audio System
from a cold location to a warm location, or when
placing it in a humid location, condensation may
form on the CD player lens. If this happens,
allow the moisture to evaporate for at least one
hour before inserting and/or playing a compact
disc.
CAUTION: The Delphi CD Audio System is not
designed to be immersed in water or other
liquids or come in continuous contact with water.
