Product Description

Panasonic's 50-watt x 4 CD receiver is CD-R/RW-compatible and has changer controls so you can add on a CD or MiniDisc changer. Being Sirius« satellite radio-ready means you can get 60 original channels of commercial-free music and 40 world-class sports, news and entertainment channels.

Note: Sirius radio requires subscription, antenna, and tuner.

3.0 out of 5 stars Panasonic's "Sirius Tuner", March 26, 2004

I have had the frustrating journey too of learning the hard way about the CR-SRT100 SSR Receiver. It also goes by designation of CR-ZX0161Z. I was able to obtain it by buying a used CR-SRF100 which is the SRT100 plus a Control Display Unit(CDU)which is for non Sirius ready units. I then figured out that the supplied wiring harness (M2C457018) that you connect to the CDU is different than the one you use for hooking up the SRT100 to a Panasonic Sirius ready head unit.That harness is the M2C457019,which,thank God,you can purchase for a pricey $32.17 at www.PASC.Panasonic.com. I love my car stereo and was willing to do all this. If given another try at building a stereo system with the intention of using it to use Sirius or XM I would go with another brand where there are deals that throw in a FREE Satellite tuner with your head unit purchase. Hope this was helpful. TML

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't get this unit for Sirius Radio..., February 24, 2004

Get Kenwood or Audiovox instead. The newer 2004 models that are coming out from Panasonic are no longer Sirius-ready. I confirmed that talking to their support line today.

Trying to locate the necessary Panasonic receiver (CR-SRT100) to go with this head unit for Sirius service is near impossible now as it is no longer in any retail stores and has been discontinued. You might find it on Ebay or some obscure web sites overpriced, but you might also have problems getting other parts as well, such as a TERK SIR-SP splitter needed to hook up this hard-to-find CR-SRT100 receiver to an TERK SIR3 Sirius Satellite antenna that is equally impossible to find now in retail outlets.

Panasonic already burned older 3DO customers with backing out of their M3 gaming console product when the Playstation took over the market. Don't let them do the same to you if you want Sirius radio support from them.
