Congratulations on your purchase of the SIR-JVC1– the JVC
Compatible SIRIUS Satellite Radio Tuner!

designated to be “SIRIUS READY”. Contact JVC or SIRIUS for model
compatibility.
What is SIRIUS Satellite Radio?
Over 120 channels of the best
entertainment and completely
commercial-free music for your car,
home or office.
Only SIRIUS has more than 65
original music channels, from today’s
hits to R&B oldies to classical
masterpieces. From authentic Country
and real Bluegrass to cool Jazz, hot
Latin, Reggae, Rock and many more.
Best of all, it’s all completely
commercial-free.
SIRIUS also has more than 55
channels of world-class sports, news
and entertainment. Included as part of
your subscription, you get up to 16
NFL games a week, up to 40 NBA
games a week and up to 40 NHL
games a week. (Games are
broadcasted during their respective
seasons.) Coupled with great sports
news from ESPN, the SIRIUS sports
offering is unrivaled. And don’t forget
a host of other great news and
entertainment, like NPR, CNBC, Fox
News, Radio Disney and
E! Entertainment Radio.
With SIRIUS, the emphasis is on the
music and entertainment you want.
The music is hosted by SIRIUS
Jockeys, who are true experts. They
back-up the music with compelling
information about the song being
played, and they understand that
sometimes it’s best to just let the
music speak for itself.
Rely on SIRIUS rocket science for
superior coverage.
Only SIRIUS has three powerful
satellites that fly directly over the U.S.
ensuring coast-to-coast coverage with
high elevation angles. This gives the
satellites a “clear line of sight” to your
car or home, with much less concern
for buildings, trees or other objects
that might block conventional satellite
signals.
Once you experience more than 120
channels of digital entertainment,
you’ll never want to leave your car.

Installation
It is recommended that prior to
starting the installation, you
thoroughly read this manual and
follow the guidelines listed below:
Consider the mounting location
carefully. You should make sure that
you avoid the following:
• Any location where the tuner is
exposed to moisture.
• Any location where the unit is
exposed to extreme heat.
• Any location that would interfere
with moving parts on the vehicle or
hamper driving.
Mounting the SIR-JVC1 T uner
Be sure that you find a location that is
flat and has clearance above the unit
to prevent any damage as well as
allow for ventilation.
Do not install the tuner under the
carpet or in a small enclosed area
without proper ventilation. Doing so
can result in damage to the tuner or
the vehicle.
Use the supplied screws to securely
fasten the unit.
Caution:
If you are attaching the unit directly to
the vehicle’s chassis, be sure that you
check to make sure the area behind the
unit is free from moving parts, fuel or
break lines, wire harnesses or any
other items which may get damaged by
drilling a mounting hole or using the
supplied screws.
Installing the Antenna
The antenna includes a 6-1/2” cable
cover/tail which covers the exposed
antenna cable and keeps it attached
securely to vehicle roof. The tail also
helps position the antenna the proper
distance from the window, sunroof or
rear hatch.
To attach the cover/tail:
1) Once you have determined the
proper mounting location (see next
section), clean the area with the
supplied alcohol swab.
2) Connect the cover/tail to the antenna
cable, making sure that the strainrelief on the antenna seats into the
cover/tail groove. Route the cable
through the wire channel in the cover/
tail.

3) Remove the remaining protective tape
from the adhesive, carefully position
the antenna with cover/tail and apply
pressure to secure to the vehicle.
Cable Cover/Tail
Vehicle
Optimum Antenna Mounting Locations
The optimum location to mount the
included antenna is on the roof of the
vehicle. It is important to avoid any
obstruction that will block satellite
signal – like a roof rack. For convertible
vehicles, install the antenna on the trunk
lid.
• Place the antenna on a metal
surface of your vehicle at least 12" x
12", and at least 6" from a window.
(Use the antenna cover/tail as a
guide for the proper distance).
• The antenna’s powerful magnet will
secure it to the metal surface. The
adhesive that is attached to the
antenna cover/tail will secure the
cable to the vehicle. Before routing
the antenna cable, confirm that the
antenna is mounted in a good
location.
• Route the cable from the antenna to
the vehicle’s interior by tucking it
underneath the rubber molding around
the rear window (if possible).
• Route the cable from the lowest point
of the rear window into the trunk. T ake
advantage of any existing cable
channels or wiring conduits.
SIR-JVC1 Operation and Installation Guide
SIR-JVC1 Installation Guide
• For SUVs, minivans and five-door
vehicles, bring the cable into the
vehicle under the rubber molding for
the tailgate, and continue under the
interior trim.
• From the trunk, carefully route the
cable to the location of the
SIR-JVC1 and plug the SMB
connector onto the unit.

SUV/Mini-Van
Truck
Convertible (only)
Caution:
• Do not pull the wire across sharp
edges that could damage it.
• Keep the wire away from areas
where it could become tangled in the
driver’s and passenger’s feet.
• Keep the antenna wire away from
extreme heat – like exhaust systems.
• A void placing the cable near any
moving parts
