Smaller than its predecessor by a third, JVC's compact, PDA-styled
KT-SR2000 Plug 'n' Play (PnP) Sirius Satellite Radio receiver brings a
wealth of music and news programming to your car and/or home audio
system in a device that's as easy to use as it is to transport. The PnP
receiver offers accessible buttons and a large, bright LCD with multiple
options for enhancing legibility. Artist names and song titles are
presented in large type to enhance safety by minimizing distractions.
Use of the receiver requires activation of a subscription to Sirius
Satellite Radio ($12.95 per month or a one-time fee of $499.99). You'll
also need a car or home docking apparatus, sold separately. The KT-SR2000 lets you enter a desired channel/stream number directly,
or you can search for programming by scrolling through a list of
channels or even a list of currently playing artists. For one-touch
access, you can set up to 18 stream preferences, or presets, with the
option to lock or unlock a given function. For example, you can store a
list of preferred categories and stations without fear of alteration
until you decide it's time for a change.
Memory Capture stores 20 favorite songs in the form of PDTs (Program
Definition Text, with artist name and song title), and, when activated,
the unit's S-Seek feature will search all incoming streams for those
songs.
Time-based functions include an alarm, a sleep timer, and program
alert, which switches the KT-SR2000 to a preprogrammed stream at a
selected time. The KT-SR2000 features an easy-to-read LCD with separate
controls for brightness, contrast, and font. This model also features an
ambient light sensor, which automatically adjusts the display brightness
to suit your viewing conditions.
The KT-SR2000 must be used with one of the following adapter kits:
- JVC KS-K6013 home kit
- JVC KS-K6012 vehicle kit
Sirius satellite radio is a subscription service that provides more
