Home Tuner to your home audio system, then placing and aiming the Home
Antenna. Let’s start with setting up the XM Direct Home Tuner set up.

proximity to your home audio system and also where the cable from the Indoor/
Outdoor Antenna can reach the XM Direct Home Tuner. Make sure the location has
proper ventilation to avoid over-heating.
