Although you mayuse a module with standard audio connections, which may be indicatedfor “car and home use,” you will not be able to enjoy the AVR 350’sease of control.The Audiovox® CNP 1000 “Connect and Play” module for home audiouse (may no longer be available) and the XM Mini-Tuner and HomeDock (Models CNP-2000 and CNP-2000H) are compatible with theAVR 350. Additional modules may become available in the future.Modules produced for automotive, or “mobile,” use are not compatiblewith the AVR 350.NOTE: To listen to XM Radio using the AVR 350, you will need topurchase an XM antenna module and subscription, and activateyour module. XM service is not available in Alaska or Hawaii.Visit the XM Radio Web site at www.xmradio.com for moreinformation.Plug the module into the XM Antenna Jack on the rear of the AVR 350.Place the antenna module so that it has a clear view through a south-facing window in order to obtain reception from the XM satellite.Select XM Radio as the source in one of the following three ways(see Figure 78):1.
