Hook Up Sirius To A Stereo Home Receiver

Hook Up Sirius to a Stereo Home Receiver


After the merger with XM, Sirius has become the leader in satellite radio. Compared to terrestrial radio, the benefits are enormous. Vast numbers of channels and CD quality sound are just some of the many reasons why more people are switching to satellite radio. Although Sirius commonly is used in a vehicle, it also can be installed in your home stereo as well. By hooking up your stereo with Sirius, you will be able to experience the next generation of radio.


Instructions


1. Purchase a Sirius home stereo docking kit. These are different than the models used for vehicles and are compatible with most stereos. Sirius docking kits can be found in most electronics stores and online as well.


2. Plug the black mini adapter of the audio cable into the back of the docking cradle. Take the other end of the audio cable and plug the white and red adapters into the back of your stereo.


3. Plug the AC adapter into the back of the docking cradle. Plug one end of the AC power cord into the power brick. Wait until the completion of installation before plugging the power cord into an outlet.


4. Plug the antenna into the back of the docking cradle. Set the lock lever on the back of the docking cradle to "Unlock." Insert the radio receiver into the docking cradle, then set the lever to "Lock." Plug the power cord into an outlet, then press and hold the power button to turn on the receiver.
