This model is one of the most convenience model made by Sirius. It can operated independently without any docking station or boombox.

Unfortunately it is also over-heat very easily when turn on and play for longer than an hour. Parts in this receiver are usually damaged when it got over heated. Usually last less than an year (Use at least 30 minutes dayly)

Solution to make it last longer: Turn the "Contrast" and "Brightness" to the lowest level.
