Housing TriplePlay

House the TriplePlay unit in a component rack or other suitable location that provides adequate ventilation. The maximum ambient temperature should never exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

After mounting the antenna, connect the audio cables (or optional TOSLINK), IR, and RS232 control interfaces to the other components in the system. Turn the volume control of amplifiers to a low level, then connect the power cable to the TriplePlay unit and power it on. A startup screen with Antex and SIRIUS logos will appear briefly, followed by the default display (see Figure 4 on page 7).

Tune to channel 184, a free preview channel, by pressing 1-8-4 on the front panel NUMERIC buttons. If the system is working, you will hear SIRIUS programming and can proceed to activating the unit. If the front panel display reads “Acquiring Signal” or “Antenna Not Connected,” reposition the antenna until you hear music playing.
