Product Specifications

Suddenly, that long-distance road trip seems like a good idea - now that you'll never have to hunt for a local radio station with programming you like. Your XM Radio looks and works just like a conventional radio. Depending on the equipment you have now, you can either upgrade or replace your current radio; or order an XM-equipped audio system in select new car models. Your XM Radio requires no more space than a conventional radio, and operates with your choice of fixed or detachable antenna and a remotely mounted small XM receiver box. Offering 100 Digital Channels of new music, sports, jazz & blues, children's programming, and much more, XM Radio transmits clear digital sound from coast to coast with limited commercial interruptions. So you can drive cross-country listening to your favorite XM Station, and never miss a beat of a song or the punch line of a joke. XM Radio is more than just great sound for the road: it's ready to come home with you. The first home unit, Sony's award-winning DRN-XM01 Digital Audio Receiver model, is designed for use in both home and car. Compact and sleek, it integrates into your existing home audio systems. The satellite antenna is small and is magnetically mounted. Jog Roller and wireless remote Commander are provided for easy operation.
