Features

Product Overview: The Pioneer inno XM2go portable satellite radio receiver with a built-in 1 GB memory for recording satellite radio programming or storing MP3 and WMA music files downloaded from your computer. The inno comes with a home kit for connecting the unit to your home stereo system, plus a pair of earbud headphones. An optional car kit (item # 130INCAR1), or an additional home kit (# 130INHOME1) are also available. The inno has a brushed aluminum front with glossy black trim. The outline of the control buttons are backlit in blue.

XM Satellite Radio: XM Satellite Radio programming offers more than 170 digital radio channels including 69 channels of commercial free music, plus news, sports, talk, comedy, and other entertainment programming from coast to coast.

Rechargeable Battery: The inno comes with a 3.7-volt rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The battery is rated for 5.5 hours of live XM playback or 10 hours of prerecorded content playback. The amount of playback time can be affected by the duration of the display backlight. The battery can be recharged while plugged into household AC current or connected to your PC via the USB cable.

Display: The inno is equipped with a full-color 1.67" TFT LCD screen. The XM channel names are displayed in their full color logo. In addition to the XM Channel names, the display shows the channel number, artist name, song title, battery status, and clock. The display also indicates the current play mode (XM or My Music), signal strength or available memory, and, when playing songs in "My Music", a progress bar with total track length and current location within a track.

Heads Up Display: The display is normally oriented to be read when the receiver is held upright. When the receiver is placed in the home or car dock, the receiver is placed on its side, and the display automatically reorients itself so it can be properly read.

Built-in 1GB Memory: The inno's 1GB built-in memory can be used to store XM content or a combination of both XM and MP3/WMA files. You can choose to exclusively store XM content, using the entire memory to store up to 50 hours of programming. If desired, you can partition the memory so that half (512MB) is used for XM programming (up to 25 hours) and the other half for storing MP3/WMA files (between 7 and 8 hours at 128 kbps).

Recording XM: You can instantly record XM content to the memory with the press of a single button. You can also schedule a recording by setting the date (today, every day, or a specific date), start and end time, and channel. Note: To schedule a recording, the receiver must be docked in the home stand with the AC power adapter and XM antenna connected, plus signal strength of 2 bars.

10-Minute Buffer: The Pioneer inno has a 10-minute memory buffer which allows you to start recording a song on live XM anytime during the song without fear of missing the first portion of the song.

TuneSelect: The TuneSelect feature finds your favorite artist or song whenever they are currently being played on any XM channel. When you hear a favorite song, you can add the song or artist to the TuneSelect list. You can also enter an artist name or song title using the virtual on-screen keyboard, even if it's not currently playing. When the saved song or artist is playing on any other XM channel, the inno will beep and you will be given the option to switch to that channel.

Bookmark: You can bookmark songs that you hear on XM (live or recorded), and view those bookmarks through the XM+Napster application when the unit is connected to your PC. You can then look up information about the artist or album, and purchase a complete, high-fidelity version of the song that can be played on multiple devices through XM+Napster. You can also purchase other songs by the same artist (or similar artists) on XM+Napster.

Organizing Music: All songs and tracks that are stored in the inno are normally played in the order that they were recorded or transferred into the unit. You can also sort the selections by artists, category, channel, or by recording session.

Locking/Unlocking XM Content: You can "lock" a song or track to prevent the inno from recording over it. All songs by an artist, in a category, or in a channel can be locked all at once.

Info Extras: XM Satellite Radio broadcasts information such as sports scores, stock prices, and other features from time to time. You can select your favorite sports teams or track up to 20 stocks, and the scores and stock prices will scroll along the bottom of the display.

XM+Napster: Included with the inno is XM+Napster software on CD-ROM. With XM+Napster, you can manage songs, playlists, and recording sessions on the inno, transfer MP3/WMA files between the inno and your PC, explore and purchase music from XM+Napster's online store, and listen to XM Radio online. The software will also allow you to rip tracks from your CDs to your PC, plus transfer MP3/WMA files onto a recordable CD or DVD. Content from XM is recorded in AAC Plus, and cannot be burned onto a CD or DVD or otherwise transferred off the inno. See below for System Requirements. Note: XM+Napster requires a separate monthly subscription fee. XM+Napster Light service, with limited features, is also available without a monthly subscription.

Manual Correction

FM Modulator: The manual states (on pages 66-67) that the inno's FM modulator turns on automatically whenever the unit is placed in the home or car dock, or the FM modulator can be turned on manually and used in handheld mode. The FM modulator can only be used when the unit is placed in the car dock. It will not work in the home dock or in handheld mode.
