SR-H1000
Audiophile quality component SIRIUS satellite radio tuner
The Best Radio On Radio
SIRIUS satellite radio lovers rejoice! Now you can enjoy the SIRIUS programming you love in your home, from a component-style tuner that delivers 100% of SIRIUS' digital sound quality. The Polk Audio SR-H1000 tuner sets the performance standard for all SIRIUS tuners.
Convenience
You no longer have to remember to take your portable SIRIUS tuner out of the car and hook it up to a home adapter. Set it up once and the SR-H1000 is ready to provide high fidelity SIRIUS programming in your home. Its 15" width and gloss black faceplate look right at home among your other audio gear.
With alarm & timer functions, you can wake up or go to sleep listening to your favorite SIRIUS station.
The SR-H1000 has a composite video output so you can view all of the standard SIRIUS information right on your TV screen--channel number, name, artist name and song title. Of course that information is also on the front panel.
Easy Navigation
With multiple channel surfing options, you can directly punch in a number, scroll by category, view by song title, channel title or artist, or access via 30 channels of direct presets. A jump button is also included- think of it as a "station recall at the press of a button" for quick switching to and from a single station.
Performance
The SR-H1000 features high-quality digital-to-analog circuitry to extract maximum detail from the SIRIUS signal. Portable units often use the cheapest quality components in their construction. Not so with the SR-H1000!
Everything Needed for Hook Up Included
The Polk SR-H1000 comes with everything you need to enjoy SIRIUS radio the day you bring it home: an indoor/outdoor SIRIUS antenna with 21 foot cable (an optional 50 foot or wireless extension is available), a digital optical cable and an RCA analog audio cable are all included in the carton.
Hooking up is a snap. The SR-H1000 features an Optical digital output and standard RCA analog stereo outputs so you can hook it up to ANY stereo receiver or amp. Of course, you'll need to subscribe to the SIRIUS Satellite Radio service.
Connect the antenna and place it near a window. Then connect to any stereo receiver with its optical digital output or standard RCA jack analog stereo outputs. Then call SIRIUS (1-888-539-SIRIUS (7474)) or log onto www.sirius.com to activate.
Perfect for Integrators and Distributed Audio
For custom installers and system integrators, RS232 allows control from home automation products such as Netstreams, Crestron, AMX etc.
Included rack ears allow convenient mounting in standard-width racks, simplifying installation. SSP input allows addition of a second zone when SC-HI SiriusConnect is added. IR input eliminates the need for an IR flasher and a 12-volt trigger input can be used to turn the unit on and off.
With SIRIUS' Music for Business subscription means the SR-H1000 is great for businesses such as restaurants, bars, retail stores, heath clubs, etc.

- Jump Function allows one button easy access of a particular station such as news, traffic or weather. Program your favorite station and access it at the touch of a button. Then press the jump button again to go back to whatever you were listening to.
- Song Seek allows you to mark up to 20 of your favorite songs and will alert you if when they start playing on any channel.

2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.Strengths:
Looks good. Great operational features.
Weaknesses:
Weak output (I am receiving a full signal from an outside antenna) and diminished frequency response. Sound seems chopped off on both ends of the hearing spectrum...wish you could have expanded it.
Review:
Good looks. Great operational capabilities. Unfortunately, and I have a new Cambridge system, the signal is no better than the small portable Sirius radio I had docked. Wish it had more power output and a wider frequency response.

Excellent product. Very good signal output for connecting to a home theater system.
Weaknesses:
No weaknesses to note on the product itself to date. If you need help getting the proper installation for this unit in your home, get the help you need and you will be glad you did. I'm sure Polk Audio will help in any way they can to get you headed in the right direction.
Review:
This product will do exactly what it is designed to do when properly set up. When the satellite antenna is properly positioned per the provided instructions, you ensure that any required signal diplexer/splitter components are properly placed (I used an existing antenna cable in my attic to combine the SR-H1000 satellite signal), this satellite receiver will provide stellar performance. No static; no choppiness at all. Very clean signal for amplification, most likely due to the DAC converter inside. When amplified through my Onkyo receiver, the digital performance sounds like I am playing CD's that are crystal clear and in digital PCM format -- you cannot tell the difference and think that you are playing a CD! If you experience "choppiness", the most likely cause is that you do not have your antenna set up properly to get full signal strength. For instance, the "window sill" antenna did not work in my home and provided a signal that was weak and "choppy" -- I did not expect it to work knowing when I bought the SR-H1000 that I would need an external antenna. I purchaed an external antenna kit from Sirius, it arrived in a couple of days, installed it per instructions, and, WOW! I am impressed and very pleased with the results! Great product, Polk Audio! Keep up the good work!
