Activating your SIRIUS subscription
Before you can listen to the DT-7000S, you must subscribe to SIRIUS Satellite’s service.
1. Make sure that the DT-7000S is properly connected to your audio system and that the
antenna is oriented to receive the SIRIUS satellite signal (see pages 4 – 5 for details)
3. Press the power button to turn the DT-7000S on. After displaying the Kenwood and SIRIUS
logos, the display will read “Acquiring Signal”. Once the SIRIUS satellite signal is received,
the display will change to “Call 1-888-539-SIRIUS to Subscribe”.
4. If your DT-7000S has been properly connected and the antenna is receiving the
SIRIUS signal (preview stream #184) you will hear audio. If you do not hear audio,
re-orient the antenna until you do. (See Antenna Signal, on page 12 to use the

Using the remote
• The supplied batteries are for operational checks, and may not last as long as
alkaline batteries.
• If the remote-controllable distance begins to shorten, replace both batteries with new ones.
• Direct sunlight or light from a high-frequency fluorescent lamp may cause the remote
sensor on the DT-7000S front panel to not function properly. If this happens, move the
DT-7000S out of this direct light.
