Getting Started

Installing the Home Kit

If you will be connecting the Home Kit to your PC computer, locate the dock in the vicinity of

the computer so that the USB cable can be connected between the dock and the computer.

The dock should also be located where the cable from the windowsill antenna can reach the

dock.

Connecting the AC Power Adapter

Plug the AC power adapter into a working wall outlet, and connect the power cord of the

adapter to the DC 5v connection on the rear of the home dock. (Figure 2)

Installing the Windowsill Antenna

Before installing the windowsill antenna, read this entire section.

To ensure strong reception of the SIRIUS signal in your home, it is important that the window-

sill antenna be oriented correctly. Note the following antenna placement considerations:

BEST reception can be achieved by placing the antenna outside on the roof. The antenna

is waterproof. This position will afford the best view of the sky for best reception. When

placed in this location, an antenna extension cable may be required.

BETTER reception can be achieved by placing the antenna outside a window, or by

mounting it to the side of the house. In either case, try to achieve the best possible clear

view of the sky.

GOOD reception can be achieved by placing your antenna in a window. Try to achieve

a clear unobstructed view of the sky. If your location is in major metropolitan area, the

antenna may be located inside the home because terrestrial transmitters are used to boost

signal strength.

From the map shown in Figure 3, determine your location and aim the portion of the antenna

with the logo toward the location indicated by the Xon the map.

Key:

Area 1: Aim the antenna East, Northeast, or Southeast

Area 2: Aim the antenna North or Northeast

Area 3: Aim the antenna North or Northwest

Area 4: Aim the antenna West, Northwest or Southwest

Area 5: Aim the antenna Straight Up at the sky

Route the antenna cable to the dock. Be sure you avoid any obstructions that could crimp,

kink, or twist the cable. Use protective grommets wherever rough openings are encountered.

If the antenna is installed outdoors, route the cable from the antenna location to the interior

of the home, working the cable through the basement, under a window sill, etc., and make

adjustments to take up cable slack as necessary.

Connect the antenna cable to the ANT connection on the rear of the dock. (Figure 2)

Testing and Optimizing the Antenna Signal Strength

The stronger the SIRIUS signal strength, the less likely it is that you will experience an inter-

ruption of the audio when listening to a broadcast. To assist you in adjusting the antenna

aiming for optimal reception, the Sirius S50 can display a screen showing the strength of the

SIRIUS signal being received.

To access the antenna aiming menu, place the media player in the dock without connecting

the USB cable. Press the Setup button on the media player and select the Antenna Aiming

menu option from the Device Settings menu. (Figure 4) The SATELLITE portion of the Anten-

na Aiming display screen shows the strength of the signal being received from the satellite,

while the TERRESTRIAL portion of the display screen shows the strength of the signal being

received from terrestrial based transmitters, if available. Make small adjustments to the aiming

of the windowsill antenna until you achieve the strongest possible signal.

Connecting the Home Dock to Your Computer

You can integrate the home dock with your computer’s sound system so that you can utilize

the speakers connected to your computer for listening to both the computer and the Sirius

S50. When connected in this way, you will be able to listen to Sirius S50 and use the com-

puter at the same time. For example, when using the My Sirius Studio software, you will be

able to review the songs recorded in your S50 or in your playlists, or listen to the streaming

content available via the SIRIUS internet streaming service through your computer’s speakers.

Or, when listening to the Sirius S50 while using your computer, you will also be able to hear

the various computer sounds.

To connect your computer and the home dock to your computer’s speakers, connect the

Figure 4Figure 4

audio cables as follows:

Make a note of the connector on your computer to which your speakers are connected.

This is typically a green connector, and may be marked “Speakers” or have a speaker

icon. Disconnect the wire plugged into that connector and plug that wire into the LINE

OUT connection on the rear of the dock. (Figure 2)

Connect the provided audio cable which has the 1/8” (3.5mm) connectors on both ends

into the connector on the computer which had been connected to the speakers.

Connect the other end of this cable to the LINE IN connection on the rear of the dock.

(Figure 2)

If you will be using your PC computer with the dock, connect the provided USB cable to the

USB connection on the rear of the dock. (Figure 2) Connect the other end of the USB cable

to an available USB port on your computer.

Connecting the Home Dock to Your Stereo System

If you will not be connecting the home dock to your computer’s speakers, you may connect

the dock to amplified speakers or your home stereo system. Plug the provided audio cable

with the RCA-type connectors on one end to your speakers or home stereo system audio

input connection, and connect the other end of the cable to the LINE OUT connection on the

rear of the dock. (Figure 2)

Note that if you are connecting the home dock directly to speakers, you will have to use ampli-

fied speakers.

Operation

Synchronizing the Sirius S50 to your Computer

When the Sirius S50 is actively connected to your computer via the USB connection, you will

not be able to listen to live broadcasts. Instead, the My Sirius Studio software is used to con-

trol the Sirius S50 for viewing content which you have recorded, managing and transferring

songs and playlists, or streaming SIRIUS music from the web.

To connect the Sirius S50 to your PC computer, place the media player in the home dock and

press the USB Sync button to initiate the USB connection. This will cause the computer

to recognize the Sirius S50. While the computer is connecting, the Sirius S50 will display

the Connecting. Please Wait. message. When the Sirius S50 is connected to the computer

the DO NOT DISCONNECT message is displayed, and no buttons on the media player or the

home dock will be functional.

To disconnect from the computer, always use the Eject function of the software to terminate

the USB connection before removing the media player from the dock. Failure to do so may

result in the corruption of the files in the Sirius S50. Refer to the software manual included on

the software CD for more information about using the software, or the manual may be down-

loaded from the SIRIUS website at http://www.sirius.com.

Accessing the Setup Menu

To access the Setup menu when the media player is in the home dock, press the Setup

button on the media player.

Saving Shows with a Scheduled Recording

The home dock is able to save shows using the scheduled recording feature, and recordings

can occur even if the unit is turned off. The dock will wake up and perform the recording at

the scheduled time, provided that the media player is in the dock, the dock is connected to

the AC power, and the antenna is receiving a good signal. Upon waking up at one minute

prior to the start time of the recording, you will have the option to cancel the recording. If you

do not cancel the recording, the scheduled recording will occur and the dock will turn itself

off upon completion. Scheduled recordings are limited to a maximum of 20, with a maximum of

2 hours per each recording session.

For more information about scheduled recordings, refer to the manual which accompanied the

Sirius S50.
