Introduction

XM® Satellite Radio is a new and exciting audio experience on your radio dial; it provides you with digital audio programming at the touch of a button. By using two geo-stationary satellites, XM®radio provides static and distortion-free sound, with a choice of 100 channels of di- verse programming, including music, news, history, sports, and talk. To make this system available to the motoring public, Audiovox has engineered a state-of-the-art XM®Satellite Radio System, consisting of a Satellite Antenna (purchased separately), a Satellite Radio Re- ceiver Unit (RRU), a Satellite Radio RF Modulator, a Satellite Control Unit (SCU) and an optional wireless remote control. By using the FM section of any car stereo system, the RF signal information is de- modulated and produces the audio output to your existing stereo system speakers. Since XM®Satellite Radio will operate through the FM stereo system, adjustment of the audio functions (volume, tone, balance, etc.) is made by using the controls on the car radio, while selection of the desired audio channel is made using the Satellite Control Unit (SCU).
