Synchronizing the Sirius S50 to your Computer
When the Sirius S50 is actively connected to your computer via the USB connection, you will
not be able to listen to live broadcasts. Instead, the My Sirius Studio software is used to con-
trol the Sirius S50 for viewing content which you have recorded, managing and transferring
songs and playlists, or streaming SIRIUS music from the web.
To connect the Sirius S50 to your PC computer, place the media player in the home dock and
press the USB Sync button to initiate the USB connection. This will cause the computer
to recognize the Sirius S50. While the computer is connecting, the Sirius S50 will display
the Connecting. Please Wait. message. When the Sirius S50 is connected to the computer
the DO NOT DISCONNECT message is displayed, and no buttons on the media player or the
home dock will be functional.
To disconnect from the computer, always use the Eject function of the software to terminate
the USB connection before removing the media player from the dock. Failure to do so may
result in the corruption of the files in the Sirius S50. Refer to the software manual included on
the software CD for more information about using the software, or the manual may be down-
loaded from the SIRIUS website at http://www.sirius.com.
Accessing the Setup Menu
To access the Setup menu when the media player is in the home dock, press the Setup
button on the media player.
Saving Shows with a Scheduled Recording
The home dock is able to save shows using the scheduled recording feature, and recordings
can occur even if the unit is turned off. The dock will wake up and perform the recording at
the scheduled time, provided that the media player is in the dock, the dock is connected to
the AC power, and the antenna is receiving a good signal. Upon waking up at one minute
prior to the start time of the recording, you will have the option to cancel the recording. If you
do not cancel the recording, the scheduled recording will occur and the dock will turn itself
off upon completion. Scheduled recordings are limited to a maximum of 20, with a maximum of
2 hours per each recording session.
For more information about scheduled recordings, refer to the manual which accompanied the
Sirius S50.
