    Denon Home Theater Receiver

    ADVERTS 1
    Denon used to support both XM and Sirius. Apparently they do not anymore. They now only support Sirius, and therefor only have an input for a Sirius antenna on their new A/V receivers. Is there a solution so that I can use this receiver to get XM (like some kind of adapter) or am I going to have to use an external receiver for my XM subscription. Thanks.

    I did not think that they made an actual Sirius receiver---only Sirius ready receivers that needa separate tuner and antenna.

    In any event if it has a Sirius tuner I do not believe that there is anything you can do to receive XM. people often interchange the antennas 9with mixed results) but unless a tuner says it will tune it likely will not.


    What is the receiver model? maybe that will help us.

    It is an AVR-1709...I'll check the manual to see if it tunes or is just ready.

    Looks like you are right...it does require a tuner.
    I have a Sirius ready Kenwood radio in my car. I know that Terk makes an XM tuner that interfaces with the Kenwood software/firmware to pull XM signals (even though it is not branded as "XM ready"). Is there something similar in the home audio world?

    The biggest problem I see is that the connectors I have seen for XM reay units and Sirius ready units are totally different. One uses a DIN connector and the other something in the USB family.


    i suspect that you would need the Sirius unit anda Sirisu subscription.
