How to Hook Up Pioneer Inno2 to a Surround Sound System

Pioneer's Inno2 satellite radio offers some attractive features: satellite radio capabilities (with subscription) and a built-in 1 GB memory that stores recorded satellite radio programming or MP3 and WMA files transferred from your computer. And the Inno2 comes with a home dock, so it's easy to connect it to your home surround sound system.

Instructions

1. Place your Inno2's docking cradle in a location that's convenient for you, but close enough to connect to your surround sound system.

2. Plug the DC power adapter into a wall socket, and connect the other end into the power port connection on the docking cradle.

3. 

   Plug the 3.5mm mini-jack plug into the jack on the docking cradle, and plug the other end (with two RCA plugs) into a stereo input on your surround sound system. Most systems will have several---use one that is not being used for another device. "Aux," if available, is a good choice, but any stereo input will work.

4. Plug the antenna plug into the antenna jack on the docking cradle. Place the antenna in a spot with a clear view of the southern sky for the best performance.

5. Insert your Inno2 into the docking cradle. Turn on the Inno2 and your surround sound system, set the surround system input to the input you've chosen for the Inno2 and enjoy your music.

Tips & Warnings

• The Pioneer Inno2 only outputs stereo signals, so don't expect to have true multi-channel surround sound when you've hooked up your Inno2. Consult your surround sound system's manual for audio settings that can replicate surround sound if that's what you wish to hear.
