Home Installation 11
Home Installation Just like when you first set up the Home Kit that came with your XMp3i™ or Pioneer XMp3™ Radio, there are two parts to setting up this Additional Home Kit. First, connecting the Home Dock to your stereo system or set of powered speakers, then placing and aiming the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna. Let’s start with getting your Home Dock set up.
Connect the Home Power Adapter Connect the Home Power Adapter to the red POWER connector at the left side of the Home Dock, and plug it into a wall outlet. Connect the Home Dock to a Stereo System or Powered Speakers The Home Dock can be connected to your stereo system, or to a set of powered speakers. If you are connecting to a stereo system, see the following section. If you are connecting to a set of powered speakers, see “To Connect the Home Dock to Your Powered Speakers” on page 15.
Home Installation To Connect the Home Dock to Your Stereo System The Home Dock can be connected to your stereo system through the AUX In or LINE In audio input jacks of your stereo system, using the provided Stereo Audio Cable. 14 1 Take the included Stereo Audio Cable and connect the single 1/8” (3.5 mm) connector to the green AUDIO connector at the rear of the Home Dock. 2 Connect the white left and red right Stereo Audio Cable connectors to any available input other than PHONO on your stereo system.
To Connect the Home Dock to Your Powered Speakers The Home Dock can be connected directly to a set of powered speakers. 1 Connect the 1/8” (3.5 mm) connector from the powered speakers to the green AUDIO connector at the rear of the Home Dock. 2 Plug the powered speakers into a standard power outlet. 3 Turn On the powered speakers. Dock Your Radio Place your XMp3i™ or Pioneer XMp3™ Radio into the Home Dock as shown, and turn your Radio On sliding the Power/Lock switch down.
Home Installation Step 2: Install the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna To begin, try experimenting with the Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna to get a feel for the reception in your location. Move the antenna around the room or from room to room. Aim it from different windows. In major metropolitan areas, you might find that you get great reception in several locations without worrying too much about aim and placement.
Not sure which way is south? Think about where the sun rises (in the east) and sets (in the west). Then stand so that east is to your left and you’ll be facing south. Is there a window in the direction you’re facing? Move the antenna closer to the window.
Home Installation be achieved by placing the antenna outside on a window ledge, porch, table, or patio. The location you choose should provide the antenna with a clear view of the southern sky. If none of the previous solutions work for you, then the BEST reception can be achieved by mounting the antenna outdoors, with a clear view of the southern sky.
To mount the antenna, you will need four screws (not included) with a 1/4” head (e.g., an M3 screw), and that are suitable for the material onto which you are affixing the antenna, (e.g., wood, metal, etc.). The screws should be spaced 1-3/8” apart horizontally and 1-1/8” vertically. Refer to the template on “Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna Template” on page 32. 1-3/8 in 1-1/8 in Once you have found a suitable location for the antenna, route the antenna cable to the Home Dock.
Home Installation The Indoor/Outdoor Home Antenna’s reception can also be tweaked by opening or closing the antenna clamshell, and turning the antenna. While observing the signal strength, make small adjustments to the angle of tilt of the clamshell until the highest possible signal strength is achieved. If you have not wall-mounted the antenna, turn the antenna slightly to the right or left and observe if the signal strength increases.
• The audio level of your Satellite Radio can also be increased. Refer to the User Guide which accompanied your Radio and increase the audio level. If you still have questions, for example, ‘Are there any other options/things I should consider?’, etc., refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 24.
Troubleshooting 23
Troubleshooting Your Home Kit has been designed and built to be trouble-free, but if you experience a problem, try this: • Check that all connections are firm and secure. • Make sure you have connected the Home Dock as described in this User Guide. Verify that the power outlet is working. 24 If you see this on the screen: Try this: Acquiring Signal • Move the antenna to a south-facing window. Not sure which way is south? Think about where the sun rises (in the east) and sets (in the west).
If you see this on the screen: Try this: Updating • Your Satellite Radio is being updated with the latest encryption code. Wait until the update is done. • You may be trying to tune to a channel that is blocked or unavailable. Tune to another channel. — • No program information, such as artist name, song title, or channel exists.
Troubleshooting 26 If this happens: Try this: Audio fades or has static when listening • Check all cables for a firm and secure connection. No song title or artist name is displayed • The information may not be available or updates may be in progress. Traffic and Weather channels sound different from other channels • These channels use a different audio technology than other channels so they often sound different from other channels.
