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-

modulated and produces the audio output to your existing stereo

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).
How the System Operates
Control of system functions is achieved by the wired SCU, which can
be conveniently mounted to the dashboard in a number of configura-

to control SCU functions is also available. The XM® Satellite Radio
signals are received by the antenna and are routed to the RRU, whose
