Using the XM
®
Satellite Radio
XM channels can be selected manually by directly entering the XM
channel number.
XM channels are organized into categories such as Rock, Classical, Country
and Dance to make browsing and selecting broadcast content easier.
[Note]
≥Category tune mode will be canceled automatically after approximately
15 seconds if there is no user input.
≥The display mode setting (➜ right) cannot be changed while in category
tune mode.
≥The signal strength indicator function (➜ page 28) cannot be activated
while in category tune mode.
≥XM channel selection by category enables you to narrow down your
choices to channels belonging to a broadcasting category of your
choice and then to select a favorite channel from the chosen category.
Available categories vary according to broadcasting hours. The unit
does not display categories with no broadcasting XM channel.
≥
Some XM channels belong to two categories; a primary and secondary
category, either of which can be used for XM channel selection. Although
you may have selected an XM channel from its secondary category (e.g.
DANCE), after exiting and then re-entering category tune mode, the
primary category of the XM channel is displayed (e.g. DECADES).
Channel presets allow you to quickly and conveniently select your favorite
XM channels. Up to 15 XM channels can be stored as channel presets.
