About Tivoli Audio
Tivoli Audio was started by Tom DeVesto with the goal of bringing simple to use, high
quality audio products to consumers at reasonable prices. His long professional asso-
ciation with Henry Kloss includes co-founding Cambridge SoundWorks*. As CEO and
head of research and development at his former company, Tom was responsible for the
development of many of the best selling home entertainment and multi-media products
on the market. He also held senior management positions in product development at
both Advent and Kloss Video.
Henry Kloss (1929-2002) began his long love affair with audio back in the early 1950’s
when, as a student at M.I.T., he began building speaker enclosures for fellow students
who wanted to exploit the sound of live FM broadcasts of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra. With encouragement from Major Edwin Armstrong, inventor of FM, and
M.I.T. lab staff, he co-founded Acoustic Research in 1952. Here, Henry co-invented
the revolutionary AR1 acoustic suspension loudspeaker, which forever changed the
way audio was reproduced. In 1957 he went on to co-found KLH, where he introduced
audio enthusiasts to the Model Six loudspeaker, Model Eight FM table
radio, and the Model 11 portable phonograph. Ten years later at Advent, he designed
one of the first projection television (which earned him an Emmy Award), along with
one of the first consumer cassette decks utilizing Dolby B noise reduction**. After
continuing projection television work at Kloss Video, Henry co-founded Cambridge
SoundWorks in 1988 along with Tom DeVesto. In 2000, at the age of 70, Henry
emerged from retirement to once again team-up with DeVesto to produce the original,
critically acclaimed Model One mono table radio.

Packed with your Model Satellite radio you should find:
• 1 External FM Antenna
• 1 External Sirius Antenna
• 1 External AM Loop Antenna
• 1 External Power Supply
• 1 Remote Control with Battery
• 1 Warranty Registration Card
Please contact your dealer or Tivoli Audio if any of these items are missing.
GETTING STARTED:
1. Connect the Sirius antenna to the rear Sirius antenna input.
2. Connect the external power supply and plug it into an outlet.
3. Be sure the front source knob is in the Sirius position and press
and hold the Power button to turn the unit on.
4. Position the Sirius antenna for best signal reception. See section
marked “Sirius Reception”.
5. Activate your Sirius subscription.
ATTENTION: “NO SIGNAL. PUSH ENTER BUTTON IN SIRIUS MODE” The display
will show this message when the power supply is connected to the Model Satellite for
the first time, when the power supply is disconnected and re-connected from the unit,
or after a power failure. In such cases, be sure the source knob is in the Sirius position
and the Sirius antenna is properly connected. Press and hold the Enter button to turn
the Model Satellite on to re-acquire the signal.
Activating your Sirius Radio Subscription
You will quickly be able to enjoy the multitude of Sirius channels once you activate your
subscription by following these three easy steps:
1) Once you’ve connected the Sirius antenna and power supply, the LCD screen
will show: “No Signal. Press Enter Button in Sirius Mode”. Verify that the source
knob is set in the SIRIUS position. Press and hold the red Power/Enter button
until the unit turns on. The display will initially show “Acquiring Signal”, then
“Updating Channels”, and will then show “To Activate Call 1-888-539-7474” if
the signal is received. Adjust the volume control. You should be hearing the Preview
Channel. This is the only channel you will receive until your subscription is activated.
If not, point the remote control at the unit, press the Direct button on the remote
control, followed by the numbers “1-8-4”. You should now hear the preview channel.
If you still do not hear anything, re-orient the Sirius antenna until you do. For more,
see the section marked “Reception”.
2) Now press the Menu button. Sirius ID will be highlighted in the Main Menu. Press
the Enter button to view your unit’s unique 12-digit ID number on the display.
Record this number and have a valid credit card available when you contact
Sirius at 1-888-539-7474 to activate your subscription, or log on to:
www.siriusradio.com

Note: Once your Sirius subscription is activated, whenever you receive a subscription
update, the display will show “Subscription Updated” and “Press Any Key to Continue”.
Press any front panel or remote control button to resume normal operation.
SIRIUS RECEPTION:
Use this map as a general placement guideline — some experimentation may be needed
to obtain the best reception in your particular situation.
Please face the antenna in the direction designated for your area.
In most instances, placing the Sirius antenna near a window will provide good reception,
but since the antenna is weather proof, it may also be placed outdoors with a clear
view of the sky for maximum reception. Such placement may require an antenna
extension cable (not included). If the Sirius signal is not received, the display will show
one of three messages:
• “Acquiring Signal”: The Sirius signal is weak or cannot be received. No other
information will be displayed.
• “Antenna Error”: The Sirius antenna is not connected properly. No other information
will be displayed.
• “Antenna Not Detected”: The Sirius antenna is not connected or not connected
properly and no signal is available. No other information will be displayed.
To check the Sirius satellite signal at any time, press the Menu button, highlight the
Antenna Aiming option and press Enter. Wait a few seconds for the meter to become
active. Adjust the Sirius antenna until the maximum number of reception bars are shown.
Wait two seconds after moving the antenna for the meter to reset. “SAT” indicates
satellite reception while “TER” indicates a terrestrial ground repeater used in major
metropolitan areas where the satellite signal may not penetrate. Terrestrial signals may
not be available in your area. Due to satellite orbiting characteristics, signal strength
may fluctuate throughout the day.
If you continue to experience reception difficulty, contact Sirius for additional advice at
1-888-539-7474 or email customercar[email protected]
