XM Radio by using either satellite or terrestrial recep-

ellite Radio mode is set to XM or XM/SIRIUS (see
page 70).
• If you’re using both XM Satellite Radio and SIRIUS
Satellite Radio and the Satellite mode is set to
XM/SIRIUS (see page 70), signal strength meters for
both systems appear on the same screen.
XM Radio Messages
The following messages may appear while using XM
Satellite radio.
❑
CHECK ANTENNA
The XM antenna is not properly connected to the
Mini-Tuner Dock. Check the connection. Check the
antenna cable for damage.
❑
UPDATING
XM is updating your Mini-Tuner with the latest
encryption code. Wait a few seconds until the update
is done. Alternatively, you may be attempting to tune
to a channel that is blocked or that you cannot
receive with your subscription package. To receive
that channel, contact XM Satellite Radio.
❑
NO SIGNAL
The XM Mini-Tuner cannot receive the satellite sig-
nal. Check the XM antenna for obstructions to the
southern sky. Check the antenna positioning with the
Antenna Aiming function (see left column).
❑
LOADING
The AV receiver is tuning or decoding audio or text
data. Please wait. If this occurs often, check the XM

(see left column).
❑
OFF AIR
The XM channel you selected is not currently broad-
casting. Select another channel.

UPGRADE XM TUNER
The connected XM CNP-1000 is incompatible. The
AV receiver features advanced technology that is
designed for use with the XM Mini-Tuner. Contact
XM Listener Care and ask about upgrading your XM
CNP-1000 to an XM Mini-Tuner. Have the AV
receiver’s model name and CNP-1000 XM ID num-
ber ready beforehand, and explain that your AV
receiver is displaying the message “Upgrade XM
Tuner.” If you already have an XM Mini-Tuner con-
nected and you see this message, turn off the AV
receiver, make sure the XM Mini-Tuner is properly
seated in the Mini-Tuner Dock, and then turn the AV
receiver back on again. If the message reappears,
contact XM Listener Care and explain the issue that
you’re experiencing and the corrective actions
you’ve tried.

damaged. If the issue persists, contact XM Listener
Care. Have the AV receiver’s model name ready
beforehand, and explain the issue that you’re experi-
encing and the corrective actions you’ve tried.
