XM Radio Operation

XM Radio is a satellite-delivered service that offers
hundreds of program channels, as well as local traffic
and weather information for select cities. The AVR 745
is "XM Ready," which means that the unit is able to
receive the XM service when an optional XM Connect
and Play or Passport module is connected and the
service activated. You may purchase the antenna
module needed for XM Radio from many electronics
or online retailers, or directly from XM Radio through
the "Home Receivers" section of the XM Radio Store
at www.xmradio.com.
Once you have purchased the XM module, follow
the instructions accompanying it to activate the XM
Service. Connect the plug on the XM module to the
XM Ready Module Input on the rear panel of the
AVR 745. For best results, point the antenna module
out a window, again, following the instructions packed
with the XM product. If a window view is not available
for the antenna, XM Radio operates a series of terres-
trial repeater stations that may be able to provide
reception, though this service is not available
everywhere.
IMPORTANT NOTE: XM Radio requires both the
optional, external antenna module and a sub-
scription to the XM Radio service. Antenna and
service sold separately; XM Radio is not avail-
able in Alaska or Hawaii.
If you need to view the antenna module's number,
connect it to the AVR and then follow one of the steps
shown below to select XM Radio as the input source.
Tune to "000" to get a readout of the number.
Once you have an activated module connected, follow
one of these steps to select XM Radio as your sys-
tem's audio source:
• From the front panel, press the Input Source
Selector . If XM was the last used tuner source,
it will appear; or press the button again until XM
Radio is heard. Press the Tuning Selection
to change stations within a frequency band. Press
the Tuning Selection to select a different
XM channel.
• From the TC 30 remote, press the Devices Button
4 and then press the Screen Button 6 to the
left of Audio Inputs. When the next page
of options appears on the LCD Screen 7, press
the Screen Button 6 to the left of Tuner.
The tuner will become the active input and the
options on the LCD screen will become those need-
ed for tuner operation. Press the Screen Button
6 next to any option to use it. For example, to
tune up or down through the current frequency
band, press the Screen Button 6 next to
Tuning Up or Tuning Down. When
the tuner is the active device on the TC 30, the
Channel Up/Down buttons may be used to change
station presets.
• The easiest way to select XM Radio as a source
with the TC 30 remote is to invoke the XM Activity.
First press the Activities Button 3 and then
press the Screen Button 6 to the right of
Listen to XM Radio. This will both
