Panasonic Sirius Satellite Radio Cr Srf100 Operating Instructions

							CR-SRF100/CR-SRT10020 1.  “SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO” will scroll across the display, twice.
2. If there is no antenna detected, “ANTENNA ERROR” will show on the second line of the display:
3. If the antenna is good, but no signal is found, “ACQUIRING SIGNAL” will show on the second line of 
the display:
4. Once satellite signal is present, the CDU will display the current channel number, category, and name
depending upon the current system configuration/setup.
NOTE: If your system is using an FM modulator and you were listening to the radio prior to starting the
SSR system, you might need to tune your radio to the appropriate FM frequency. The radio must be on the
same FM station that the Sirius Satellite Radio system is set for. 
(Please see the section on the setup operation to view or change the required FM modulator frequency)
[SECTION 6.5].

7.2.2. Shut-Down (Turn Off)
Press and hold the [SEL]button for greater than two seconds to turn the system off. The receiver mutes
the SSR audio, blanks the CDU display and turns off all indicators. If an FM Modulator is connected to the
system, it will switch back to the antenna to allow normal AM/FM radio operation .

7.3. Standard Operations & Screen Display Format
GENERAL KEYPAD HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS
In general, a function in the CDU is engaged by pressing and releasing the button. If any other button press
is detected while the first button is still depressed, the other button(s) function is ignored. The only excep-
tion from this is when a function requires simultaneous key presses (e.g., entering SETUP mode).
Therefore, in this manual, “press a key” actually means “press and release a key” unless the operation hap-
pens after an extended key press (e.g., storing a value in a preset) and then the manual will indicate “press
and hold”.
SCROLLING INFORMATION
When the length of the information to display is greater than the allocated space, the information will scroll
across the screen one time and then a shortened version that does not scroll will appear.
“CHANNEL NAME” SCREEN DISPLAY FORMAT
(this is also called the “DEFAULT”  screen display format)
The channel name (default) screen display format is as follows
• 1st line:  Channel number  &  Channel Name
• 2nd line: Category for the current channel being played
EXAMPLE:
The channel number is displayed in the first four characters of the top line, three digits and a trailing space.
17233_SGould  08/15/02  14:46  Page 22 
						

							CR-SRF100/CR-SRT10023 The channel name is displayed in the last 12 characters of the top line. If the full channel name is greater
than twelve characters in length, then the full channel name is scrolled across the display once, and the
eight-character abbreviated version is displayed thereafter.
The category name is displayed on the bottom line. If no category information accompanies this channel,
then this area of the display area will be blank.
If you change channels, there can be a slight delay in getting the new information to display.  During a
channel change, the new channel number is immediately displayed, and the rest of the display is updated
when the new information is available.
“PDT” SCREEN DISPLAY FORMAT … CHANGING TEXT INFORMATION BEING DISPLAYED
Program Descriptive Text (PDT) is available in any of the principle modes of operation (other than SETUP).
This information is only displayed on the second line of the display. The first line continues to display the
channel number and category name.
The screen display format is as follows
• 1st line:    Channel number  &  Channel Name
• 2nd line:    Category name  OR  PDT information for the specific program
When the operator presses the [SEL]button, the type of information displayed on 2nd line rotates between
the channel name and different types of PDT information.
For example, if the
• channel number is: 7
• category name is: “POP”
• channel name is: “I-70”
Then the available PDT data could be:
• Artist Name “The Police”
• Song Title “Roxanne”
The PDT type (“ARTIST” or “TITLE”) is temporarily displayed on the second line immediately before the
PDT is displayed.

followed shortly by:
17233_SGould  08/15/02  14:46  Page 25 
						

							CR-SRF100/CR-SRT10026 The display reverts to:
If the ARTIST or TITLE information is not available, the words “ARTIST” and “TITLE” are remain in their
place. If a PDT field other than ARTIST and TITLE does not contain information the field is skipped and the
next field that contains data is displayed.
DISPLAY WHEN TUNING TO A CHANNEL STORED IN A PRESET
No matter what mode you are in (PRESET, CHANNEL or CATEGORY), if you tune to a channel that is also
stored in a preset (rotating the [SEL]knob OR pressing preset buttons [1] – [6]),  the system momentarily
displays the preset number and group on the lower line of the display before continuing with the pre-select-
ed display format.
If the channel selected is stored in multiple presets:
• If the channel was selected by pressing a preset button [1] – [6]then that preset number &  group 
are momentarily displayed.
• If the channel was selected by any other means (e.g., rotating the [SEL]knob) then the system will 
momentarily display the first preset number & group that the channel is stored in.

(STORING CHANNELS IN PRESETS
To store a channel in a preset, press and hold the preset button for 2 seconds. The receiver will emit a
short beep, indicating the channel is stored at that preset button in the current preset group.
RECALLING PRESET CHANNELS
If the user presses and releases a preset button [1] – [6]the system will select the channel stored at the
preset number for the current preset group.

7.4. Category Mode
The Sirius satellite system collects category information about each available channel. Any given channel
may be associated with zero, one, or more than one category. Therefore a category map is constructed with
each category identified with the specific channels associated with it.
This channel and category mapping can be illustrated as:
Through the use of preset buttons or by being in channel mode, it is possible to tune to a channel not in
the currently selected category.
ENTERING CATEGORY MODE
You enter category mode by pressing and releasing the [CATEGORY]button. The system indicates entering
category mode by illuminating the category mode indicator located next to the category button.

EXITING FROM CATEGORY MODE
You exit category mode by entering a different mode. There are several ways to do this …
• press the [CHANNEL]button to enter CHANNEL mode.
• press the [PRESET]button to enter PRESET mode.
• enter SETUP mode.
The system indicates exiting category mode by turning off the category mode indicator located next to the
category button.
SELECTING A CATEGORY
You select a category by pressing the [CATEGORY] button until the desired category is displayed. If the 
category mode screen is not currently being displayed, the first press of the [CATEGORY]button results in
the current category being displayed. Further presses of the [CATEGORY]button selects the next category.
The  category mode screen will be displayed for a fixed time after the last button press of [CATEGORY].
After that, the system returns to the standard display format … leaving the last category selected as the
current category.
The channel is not changed when pressing the [CATEGORY]button. The channel changes once you rotate
the [SEL]knob/button (which changes the channel). At this time, if the category display screen is being
displayed, the CDU immediately returns to the previous display format.
CHANNEL SELECTION WITHIN CATEGORY MODE
As the [SEL]knob is rotated, the system increments or decrements to the next available audio channel
within the current category.
If you have just entered a new category and you rotate the [SEL]knob …
• clockwise: the system will start with the first channel (lowest channel number) in that category.
• counter clockwise: the system will start with the last channel (highest channel number) in that category.
The CDU will wrap around after the low or high channel number is reached.
