Features
Overview: When
used with a compatible Clarion head unit, this tuner allows you to receive SIRIUS
satellite radio programming in your vehicle. In addition to this tuner, you must
have a subscription to SIRIUS Radio and a SIRIUS-compatible antenna to receive SIRIUS
digital satellite radio signals.
Note:
Satellite radio service is available only within the continental United
States. Service is not available in Alaska and Hawaii.
Stand Alone Operation: The
tuner has a mode switch that allows you to choose CeNET or Stand Alone
operation. In CeNET mode, the tuner is controlled by a compatible Clarion
head unit. In Stand Alone mode, the tuner is controlled by an optional
controller (DSC920S).
SIRIUS
Satellite Radio: SIRIUS Satellite Radio programming features up to 100
channels of digital-quality music, news, talk, sports, entertainment, and
children's programming nationwide, many of which are commercial-free. For a
monthly subscription fee, you can receive SIRIUS signals in your car.
Selecting Channels: The tuner
allows you to select channels by number or category. Channels are organized into
various program categories. You can search between the different categories and
then search among the channels within each category. Some head units offer a
channel scan feature and all have presets for your favorite stations.
CD Changer Pass-Through:
The SIRIUS radio tuner uses the CD changer input on the Clarion head unit. If
you also want to use a CD changer, there is a CD changer pass-through connection
on the SIRIUS radio tuner, so they can be daisy chained together.
