Installation
Before you begin installation, read this installation section completely and follow the instructions. In addition, consult the manual of the audio device to which you will connect the Sirius
Conductor Tuner to determine the required installation configuration.
Note the following when installing:
Use the provided AC Power Adapter to provide power for the Sirius Conductor Tuner.
You can connect the audio output of the Sirius Conductor Tuner to your audio system via
the RCA-type or Optical audio output connectors of the tuner.
Mounting the Sirius Conductor Tuner
Install the Sirius Conductor Tuner in a location which avoids moisture and extreme heat. You
may place the tuner on any flat surface.
Installing the Indoor/Outdoor Antenna
Before installing the indoor/outdoor antenna, read this entire section.
To ensure consistent reception of the SIRIUS signal in your home, it is important that the
antenna be oriented correctly. Note the following considerations for antenna placement:
BEST reception can be achieved by placing the antenna outside on the roof, with a clear
360 degree view of the sky. 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.
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.
GOOD reception can be achieved by placing your antenna in a window. Try to achieve
•
•
[ Installation ]
17
a clear unobstructed view of the sky. If your location is in major metropolitan area, the
antenna may be located inside the home because terrestrial transmitters are used to boost
signal strength.
If you cannot obtain a clear 360 degree view of the sky (Best), then for the Better and Good
installations you must at least have a clear view of the sky in the direction of the SIRIUS satellites, as shown in the following map diagram. (Figure 1)

HORIZON
SKY
SOUTH
WEST EAST
NORTH
Use the map to find the area you are located in (1 to 5). Then find the direction in which you
need to have a clear view of the sky:
Area 1: You will need a location with a clear view of the sky facing EAST or NORTHEAST
or SOUTHEAST
Area 2: You will need a location with a clear view of the sky facing NORTH or NORTH-
EAST
Area 3: You will need a location with a clear view of the sky facing NORTH or NORTH-
WEST
Figure 1Figure 1
[ Installation ]
18
Area 4: You will need a location with a clear view of the sky facing WEST or
NORTHWEST or SOUTHWEST
Area 5: You will need a clear view of the sky facing STRAIGHT UP (Outdoors only)
Choose a mounting location for the antenna which has an unobstructed view of the sky in the
direction for your area.
For example, suppose you live in Area 2. You determined that your antenna will need to have
a clear view of the sky facing North or Northeast. The exact direction is determined by your
specific location in Area 2 relative to the X on the map: If you live in Texas, you will need a
more North facing clear view of the sky whereas if you live in southern California, you will
need a more Northeast facing clear view of the sky. (In major US cities, you may be able to
receive the SIRIUS signal from the SIRIUS ground repeaters, which allow you to place the
antenna away from a window if the signal is strong enough.)
Once you have found a suitable location for the antenna, route the antenna cable to the Sirius
Conductor Tuner. Be sure you avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink, or twist the
cable. Use protective grommets wherever rough openings are encountered. If the antenna is
installed outdoors, route the cable from the antenna location to the interior of the home, working the cable through the basement, under a window sill, etc., and make adjustments to take
up cable slack as necessary. Connect the antenna cable to the ANT connection on the rear of
the Sirius Conductor Tuner.
Testing and Optimizing the Antenna Signal Strength
The stronger the SIRIUS signal strength, the less likely it is that you will experience an interruption of the audio when listening to a broadcast. To assist you in adjusting the antenna
aiming for optimal reception, the Sirius Conductor Tuner can display a screen showing the
strength of the SIRIUS signal being received.
Refer to the Signal Indicator Display section on page 30 and check the strength of the signal being received. The S portion of the display screen shows the strength of the signal being
received from the satellite, while the T portion of the display screen shows the strength of the
signal being received from terrestrial based transmitters, if available. Make small adjustments
to the aiming of the antenna until you achieve the strongest possible signal.
If the Sirius Conductor Tuner loses reception at times, this is indication that the antenna is not
aimed in the optimal direction. Adjust the antenna by changing the aiming in small increments
to see if you can obtain consistent signal reception.
If you are having trouble locating your antenna in a place for optimal signal reception, please

visit your retailer or our website at http://sirius.com for information on signal distribution accessories that let you use RG-6 coax cable, your existing in-home wiring, and other
technologies to connect your Sirius Conductor Tuner to the antenna. These other options
allow placement of the antenna with the best view of the sky regardless of the location of your
Sirius Conductor Tuner.
Connecting the Sirius Conductor Tuner
Refer to Figure 2 and follow these steps to connect the Sirius Conductor Tuner:
The indoor/outdoor antenna should be connected to the ANT connector. Refer to the
previous section for the antenna installation procedure.
