What is line-of-sight?	Line-of-sight means the receiver’s satellite antenna
	has a direct and clear path to where the WorldSpace
	satellite is located in the sky.
Why is line-of-sight needed	As with all satellite broadcasting, WorldSpace
for satellite reception?	transmissions travel directly from the satellite
	to your receiver antenna. This path must be
	unobstructed so that the antenna can receive
	these transmissions.
What do the BROADCAST CHANNEL	Allow listeners to scroll through available BCs. In
▲/▼ buttons do?	PRESET mode, these buttons take you to the next
	or the previous stored channel. In PASSWORD entry
	mode, you increase or decrease the current digit by
	pressing these buttons.
What is a service component?	A service component is a separate program within
	a BC. One BC can have as many as eight service
	components. The LCD panel on your receiver shows
	how many service components are available for the
	selected broadcast channel. For instance, if the
	“RITMO” channel decided to broadcast in more
	than one language on multiple service components
	and you wanted to hear one of the alternative
	languages, you would select the appropriate
	service component.
Is a service component always	Some broadcasters may use a service component
an audio channel?	to transfer data other than audio. In that case, no
	sound will be audible upon selection of that service
	component and the LCD panel shows “DATA” every
	2 seconds.
Do all broadcast channels have	Yes. All broadcast channels have at least one service
service components?	component. Some have more, up to eight service
	components. The LCD panel displays the number
	of available service components for the selected
	broadcast channel.
