SR°H1000 USERS GUIDE CONTROLS & FEATURES

Getting Started

Installation & Setup

Introduction

The SIRIUS Home Satellite Radio Tuner must be connected to the windowsill antenna (supplied) to process the SIRIUS signal. The Tuner recognizes and decodes the incoming SIRIUS program information and provides an audio signal to your stereo receiving equipment or other audio output equipment.

Installing Your SIRIUS Tuner

You can begin to enjoy SIRIUS Satellite Radio as soon as the Tuner installation is complete and you have initiated your SIRIUS Satellite Radio subscription. To set up your Tuner, using the following installation instructions.

Installation/Wiring Precautions

Make sure the power cable is not connected to an AC wall outlet until all interconnections have been made and verified. The power cable should be connected last. Do not install the Tuner in the locations exposed to direct sunlight or in areas subject to extreme temperatures. Incorrect installation may cause damage to the system. During antenna placement/installation, refer to the Antenna Placement procedure on page 15.

Cabling Interconnections

Set up your system using the diagram and by following the installation instructions, or enlist the help of a professional installer.

Installing/Positioning the Antenna

For best reception, the supplied antenna should be placed near a window; some repositioning may be required to achieve optimum results.

GETTING STARTED

Recommended Guidelines

Terrestrial repeaters are located in major cities. In those areas, it may be possible to locate the windowsill antenna away from a window and still get satisfactory reception. You can also place the antenna outside (on a roof structure), provided it is clear of any overhead obstructions.

Note: Because of the orbiting characteristics of the SIRIUS satellites, the strength of the SIRIUS signal may change over time. In most cases however, the signal should be available continuously. If you experience a loss of signal or audio, reposition the antenna inside your home, or outside as necessary.

Connection Diagram

SR°H1000 USERS GUIDE GETTING STARTED

Antenna Placement

Consult the map for the direction in which to point the antenna. Aim the portion of the antenna with the logo on it toward the location indicated by the X on the map. To ensure strong reception in your home, observe the following antenna placement considerations:

1. BEST Reception can be achieved by placing the antenna outside

on the roof. The antenna is waterproof. This position will afford the best view of the sky for best reception. When placed in this location, an antenna extension cable may be required.

2. BETTER Reception can be achieved by placing the antenna outside

a window, or by mounting it to the side of the house. In either case, try to achieve the best possible clear view of the sky.

3. GOOD Reception can be achieved by placing your antenna in or

near a window, since terrestrial transmitters are used in major metropolitan areas to boost signal strength. In these cases, the antenna can be placed inside the home. Try to achieve a clear unobstructed view of the sky.

Area 1: Aim East, Northeast, or Southeast Area 2: Aim North or Northeast Area 3: Aim North or Northwest Area 4: Aim West, Northwest or Southwest Area 5: Aim Straight Up

GETTING STARTED

4. Turn the Tuner on and listen for audio. If no audio is heard, aim

the antenna in different directions until audio output is heard. This is the desired antenna aiming position.

5. After determining the optimum antenna aiming position,

turn the Tuner off, disconnect the power adapter from the wall outlet receptacle, and disconnect the antenna cable.

6. Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the Tuner. Be sure you

avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink, or twist the cable. Use protective grommets wherever rough openings are encountered.

Note: Do not cut the antenna cable.

7. If the antenna is mounted outside, route the cable from the antenna

position to the interior of the home, working the cable through the basement, under a window sill, etc., and make adjustments and take up slack whenever necessary.

8. Plug the antenna cable into the ANTENNA connector on the back

of the Receiver.

9. Plug the tuner into a 110VAC wall receptacle. The front panel

STANDBY LED will light red.

10. You are now ready to activate and enjoy SIRIUS programming

within your home.

Testing Antenna Signal Strength

The stronger the signal strength, the less likely it is that you will experience an interruption of the audio. In the menu options of the Tuner (refer to page 53), there is an antenna aiming display which shows two bar graphs indicating signal strength. This can be a useful tool for positioning the antenna in an optimal location for maximum signal reception.

Activating Your SIRIUS Subscription

Before you can listen to the SIRIUS service, you must subscribe to the SIRIUS Satellite Radio service.

SR°H1000 USERS GUIDE GETTING STARTED

1. Make sure that the Tuner is properly connected and that

its antenna is oriented to receive the SIRIUS satellite signal.

2. Press the POWER button to turn the Tuner on. After displaying

the SIRIUS logo, the Tuner will update all the SIRIUS channels. The display will read “UPDATING CHANNELS” on the top line and “X% Completed” (0%-20%40%-60%-80%-100%) on the bottom line until the update completes. Note: Don’t push any buttons or perform any operations until updating has been completed.

3. Once updated and the SIRIUS channels are received, the display

will display, “To Activate Call / 1-888-539-SIRIUS” and will place you in The Preview Channel. Channel 184 is SIRIUS’ preview channel. You will not be able to tune to any other channels until you activate your SIRIUS subscription.

4. Press the MENU button to enter the “Menu Options” mode.

The “SIRIUS ID” menu option will now be highlighted.

5. Push the Select button to select “SIRIUS ID.” This will display

your Tuner’s unique 12-digit SIRIUS ID Number (SID). This SID number should also be available on the SR-H1000 packaging. Write the number down and have your credit card handy. A space has been provided at the end of this manual to write your SID.

6. Contact SIRIUS on the Internet at: https://activate.siriusradio.com/

Follow the prompts to activate your subscription, or you can also call SIRIUS toll-free at: 1-888-539-SIRIUS. You can now enjoy SIRIUS Satellite Radio’s digital entertainment, and can tune to other channels!

Creating Zones In Your Home— The SIRIUS Satellite Radio Home Connect Tuner (Optional Accessory)

The SIRIUSConnect SC-H1 Satellite Radio Tuner is an optional accessory designed to work with the SR-H1000 and other SIRIUS-ready receivers. The SC-H1 enables you to set up a zone system to receive different SIRIUS Satellite Radio programming in different rooms of your home. To connect and set up a SIRIUSConnect SC-H1 Satellite Radio Tuner, follow the installation guide provided with the unit, or consult a professional installer.
