3 North or Northwest
4 West or Northwest
5 Straight up
When the antenna is securely mounted with a clear view up, run
the RG58U 50 ohms coaxial cable to TriplePlay unit. Screw the
cable connector to the antenna “finger tight” (do not over
tighten with a wrench) and secure the antenna cable inside the
arm of the antenna.
Housing TriplePlay
House the TriplePlay unit in a component rack or other suitable
location that provides adequate ventilation. The maximum
ambient temperature should never exceed 120 degrees
Fahrenheit.
After mounting the antenna, connect the audio cables (or
optional TOSLINK), IR, and RS232 control interfaces to the other
components in the system. Turn the volume control of amplifiers
to a low level, then connect the power cable to the TriplePlay
unit and power it on. A startup screen with Antex and SIRIUS
logos will appear briefly, followed by the default display (see
Figure 4 on page 7).
Tune to channel 184, a free preview channel, by pressing 1-8-4
on the front panel NUMERIC buttons. If the system is working,
you will hear SIRIUS programming and can proceed to activating
the unit. If the front panel display reads “Acquiring Signal” or
“Antenna Not Connected,” reposition the antenna until you hear
music playing.
