Housing TriplePlay
House the TriplePlay unit in a component rack or other suitable
location that provides adequate ventilation. The maximum
ambient temperature should never exceed 120 degrees
Fahrenheit.
After mounting the antenna, connect the audio cables (or
optional TOSLINK), IR, and RS232 control interfaces to the other
components in the system. Turn the volume control of amplifiers
to a low level, then connect the power cable to the TriplePlay
unit and power it on. A startup screen with Antex and XM logos
will appear briefly, followed by the default display (see
Figure on page 6).
Tune to channel 1, a free preview channel, by pressing 0-0-1 on
the front panel NUMERIC buttons. If the system is working, you
will hear XM programming and can proceed to activating the
unit. If the front panel display reads “No Signal” or “Check
Antenna,” reposition the antenna until you hear music playing.
Activating TriplePlay
After the channel 1 verification test, you must activate your XM-
3000 TriplePlay to access all XM channels. To do so you must
first obtain the XM ID numbers of your unit; one ID for each of
the three independent tuners (hereafter referred to as “zones”).
Follow the instructions below to obtain the XM ID numbers and
activate your XM radio service. An alternate method if you are
already familiar with operation of the unit is to tune each of the
three zones to channel 0.
