Harman-Kardon AVR 254 Stereo Receiver User Manual


 
Figure 14 – AM Antenna
To enjoy XM satellite radio, purchase an XM antenna module designed
for use with XM Ready devices and a subscription to the XM service.
We recommend the XM Mini Tuner and Home Dock Bundle, available
at www.xmradio.com. The older Connect and Play module is also com-
patible with the AVR 254, but it may no longer be available in your area.
An XM Ready-compatible module uses the special connector on the
AVR 254’s rear panel that allows you to use the AVR’s tuner, including
its 40 preset station locations and remote control. Although you may
use a module with standard audio connections, which may be indicated
for “car and home use,” you will not be able to enjoy the AVR 254’s
ease of control.
RS-232 Serial Port
The RS-232 serial port on the AVR 254 is used only for software
upgrades. If we release an upgrade for the receiver’s operating system
at some time in the future, it may be downloaded to the AVR using this
port. Complete instructions will be provided at that time.
