Setting up for WorldSpace reception
To initiate WorldSpace broadcaster
reception
Before you can begin to receive broadcaster signals,
it is necessary for this unit to establish what
broadcaster range is available in your area. This
operation is easily performed using the LEARN
button.
1 Press the button to turn this unit on.
2 Press the WS button to select the WS band.
3 Press the PRESET– /PRESET+ buttons to select
the appropriate WorldSpace service area.
The region preset numbers appear in the display.
The maps on page 18 contain the preset numbers
for each area of coverage. Select the number
most appropriate for the region that you live in.
4 Adjust the WS antenna for optimum reception as
described in “To adjust the WS antenna” on this
page.
5 Press the LEARN button.
“LEARN?” appears in the display.
6 Press the LEARN button again while “LEARN?”
is displayed.
“LEARN 99” appears in the display and begins
counting down while the unit automatically
searches for the WorldSpace broadcaster range
available in your area. When the search is
complete, “LEARN” disappears from the display.
If the search was successful, sound is produced
and the WorldSpace broadcaster range for your
area is set in memory.
Notes:
• Pressing the WS button while the unit is searching ends
the search and restores the unit to the previous operation
mode.
• If the satellite signal reception in your area is too weak or
for some reason reception is being blocked, the signals
will not be received and “NO BEAM” appears in the
display. Reposition or redirect the WS antenna to
improve reception.

To adjust the WS antenna
For proper operation of this unit, do not procede to
other WS band operations until you have set up the
WS antenna for satellite signal reception. Using the
WorldSpace service area map and graphs on pages
18 and 19 as a guide, try to position the antenna in a
line of sight with the satellite with as few
obstructions as possible. Adjust the antenna by
rotating and tilting to direct the WS antenna in the
general direction of the satellite broadcasting to
your region. The antenna can also be tilted up to 60º
from the base.
The WS antenna signal indicator in the display
indicates the strength of the satellite signal being
received. When the antenna icon appears alone,
there is no signal being received. As the signal
becomes stronger, bars appear to the right of the
antenna icon. Try to adjust the antenna so that three
bars appear for the strongest signal reception.

Notes:
• When rotating the WS antenna, be sure to check that the
antenna cable is not being pulled or stretched as that
may cause the antenna to malfunction.
• As glass and tall structures inhibit the transmission of the
signal, try to avoid directing the antenna toward windows
or tall buildings.
• The signal indicator displays the reception of the overall
satellite signal as opposed to actual broadcaster recep-
tion. Because of this, even when the strongest signal
indicator is shown, the sound may be intermittent. This is
not a malfunction.
Extension cable
(supplied)
If necessary, detach the WS antenna from the mount
as described on page 5, and attach the supplied
extension cable in order to place the antenna in a
location that provides better reception.
