How to Use this Guide
Button icons:
Soloist has buttons that are used to control the features
and functions of the system. In addition, an infrared remote
control is provided to control Soloist. Some buttons exist
only on Soloist or the remote, while some buttons exist in
both places.
In order to make this guide easy to understand, icons that
look just like the buttons on Soloist and the remote control
are used in the text.
An icon like this

Soloist comes with the Sirius
connector secured to the left
with a screw
Connector sides from left to
right depending on cradle being
used
Front If connector is positioned to
the right, insert screw here
Before Inserting the Stiletto Cradles
The Sirius connector can be moved to the left or right to
match up with the Sirius radio being docked. Soloist comes
setup for Sirius plug and play radios. If you plan to use a
Stiletto portable radio, the connector needs to be moved to
the right before inserting the cradle.
Remove the securing screw on the left of the connector and
slide the connector to the right. Secure the connector by
reinserting the screw in the hole on the right of the connec-
tor as shown.

Soloist Universal Sound System
Installing the Windowsill Antenna
Before installing the windowsill antenna, read this entire
section.
To ensure strong reception of the SIRIUS signal in your
home, it is important that the windowsill antenna be
oriented correctly. Note the following antenna placement
considerations:
BEST reception can be achieved by placing the antenna
outside on the roof. The antenna is waterproof. This posi-
tion will afford the best view of the sky for best reception.
When placed in this location, an antenna extension cable
may be required.
BETTER reception can be achieved by placing the antenna
outside a window, or by mounting it to the side of the
house. In either case, try to achieve the best possible clear
view of the sky.
GOOD reception can be achieved by placing your antenna
in a window. Try to achieve a clear unobstructed view of the
sky. If your location is in major metropolitan area, the an-
tenna may be located inside the home because terrestrial
transmitters are used to boost signal strength.
From the map shown here, determine your location and
aim the portion of the antenna with the logo toward the
location indicated by the X on the map.
Key:
Area 1: Aim the antenna East, Northeast, or Southeast
1
23
4
5
Area 2: Aim the antenna North or Northeast
Area 3: Aim the antenna North or Northwest
Area 4: Aim the antenna West, Northwest or Southwest
Area 5: Aim the antenna Straight Up at the sky
Route the antenna cable to the dock. Be sure you avoid
any obstructions that could crimp, kink, or twist the cable.
Use protective grommets wherever rough openings are
encountered. If the antenna is installed outdoors, route the
cable from the antenna location to the interior of the home,
working the cable through the basement, under a window
sill, etc., and make adjustments to take up cable slack as
necessary.
Connect the antenna cable to the ANT connection on the
rear of the dock.

Using the Headphone Jack
The Headphone jack can be used with any pair of

mini jack.
The audio output of Soloist is muted if headphones are
plugged into the headphone jack. When unplugging the
headphones, the volume is automatically reset to level
15 to avoid loud bursts of sound.
