1 Connect a SiriusConnect™ tuner to the SIRIUS IN
jack on the rear of this receiver.
You will also need to connect the antenna and AC
adapter to the SiriusConnect™ tuner.
Note
1 • In order to activate your radio subscription, you will need the SIRIUS ID (SID) which uniquely identifies your tuner. The SID may be found on a sticker
located on the packaging, or on the bottom of the tuner itself. The label will have a printed 12-digit SID number. When you have located the SID, write it
down in the space provided near the end of this manual. Connect 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 (1-888-539-7474).
• Select 000 (SIRIUS ID) from the on-screen display to check the Radio ID of the SIRIUS Connect tuner (see Selecting channels and browsing by genre
above).
2 You can check the strength of reception in Using the SIRIUS Menu on page 57.
3 It's easiest if you have your TV switched on to take advantage of the OSDs. You can, however, use just the front panel display to do everything if you prefer.
