At the time of publication, Sirius XM Radio Inc. is the only provider of satellite radio service in the U.S due to the merger between Sirius and XM Radio. Satellite radio offers subscribers exclusive content, a large number of stations from all over the country, and programs that the FCC does not regulate. You can connect satellite radio to a Philips stereo through the AUX input.
Instructions
1. Place the docking station next to your Philips stereo, but keep it out of direct sunlight. Plug in the mini-adapter end of the audio cable to the back of the docking station. The docking station and audio cable come with the satellite receiver.
2. Plug the red and white ends of the audio cable in the red and white audio inputs labeled "AUX" on the back of the Philips stereo.
3. Plug the small side of the A/C adapter into the power outlet on the docking station. Plug in the other side of the A/C adapter to the power brick. Do not plug the power cord into the electrical outlet. The A/C adapter comes with the satellite receiver.
4. Plug the antenna into the port labeled "Antenna" on the back of the docking station. Position the antenna near a window to receive the best reception.
5. Set the locking switch to the "Unlocked" position on the back of the docking station. Place the Satellite radio receiver inside the docking station and set the locking switch to the "Locked" position.
6. Plug the power cord into an electrical wall outlet. Press and hold down the "Power" button until the satellite receiver turns on.
7. Turn on the stereo so that the satellite receiver displays an "Updating Channels" message on the screen. This screen displays the percentage of the process that has been completed. When the update is complete, the screen will display a message informing you to call to activate your satellite radio service. The receiver automatically switches to station 184, which is the only station you can receive until you call to activate.
8. Press the "Menu" button on the satellite receiver and highlight the "Sirius Menu ID" option. Push the "Select" button. Your SID number will display. Write this number down as you will need it to complete activation. Have your credit card ready to activate the service.
