I purchased a Sirius receiver for a relative who could not survive without the ETWN programming. If you can isolate the user's preferences to a few pre-set stations, could you not use the direct access protocol to switch between those stations, and poll after every switch? I just this evening had a client ask me to add whole house XM to his system which currently consists of five independent AMX controlled set-ups (thankfully I over-wired as always). It’s still not as good as sitting in the bleachers with a cold dog and a warm Old Style, but I’ll think I’ll keep mine, I just won’t sell it to my Crestron clients. If you want something that plays nice with Crestron or AMX, keep looking.

#CRESTRON SIMPL JAMMING SIGNALS TV#
In conclusion if you’re using a distributed video system with the TV for feedback this unit is for you, sounds great, very reliable, looks very slick. In my system I tried using the channel up/down IR commands in concert with polling and the result was less than useful. So you can get song and station data on a touchpanel, but you can’t do much with it. Although the protocol includes the category next/last commands and select next/last command, without feedback they’re useless. The big problem with the protocol is the lack of anyway to scroll through channels. King (1 blank space + 16 characters + return command)Ĭurrent Channel Song Title: Take It Home (1 blank space + 16 characters + return command) System response for the 'Get' commands are as follows:Ĭurrent Channel Artist Name: B.B. These must be polled for this is a small nuisance but a pain just the same. That’s where the good news ends.įeedback is provided for channel number, channel name, song name, antenna signal strength, and radio ID.
#CRESTRON SIMPL JAMMING SIGNALS SERIAL#
The serial protocol duplicates all the functions of the remote control plus gives you direct channel and preset select. I’m sure Polk had good intentions, but you know what they say about that. On the other hand, serial control although available, is a mess. If you plan on using this tuner with IR control through a distributed video systems, it’s a real winner. It would also be nice to have a rear IR input. There are a couple glaring omissions, no discrete commands for Preset Mode and Direct Channel Mode. I have also found that the unit responds to the channel up/down commands from the Delphi tuner.
#CRESTRON SIMPL JAMMING SIGNALS INSTALL#
The following is a list of supported IR commands from the Polk install guide. In my system, I'm using the 12volt trigger from my B&K receiver to control power. It has no problem excepting commands in rapid succession and favorite macros were incredibly reliable. I tried IR control with both RTI and Home Theater Master remotes, both with great results.
#CRESTRON SIMPL JAMMING SIGNALS UPDATE#
Polk quickly realized their mistake and had a firmware update on their website to fix this issue. The first units used RC5 codes with a toggle bit, just like the Delphi tuners, making them very difficult for most learning remotes. I’ll start with the good, discrete IR for power and a 12 trigger giving integrators two ways to assure that the unit is on. That said, there's some good and bad with the control side of this product. For that they get some well deserved dap. I want to applaud Polk for taking control into consideration most companies never even consider the needs of integrators. One of the coolest things about the XRT12 is the on screen display the unit features a composite video out that allows the user to browse channels and get feedback of current channel, artist, and song right on their TV. Considering the compressed nature of XM, sound quality is very good, it's not going to satisfy hard core audiophiles but it is easily the best sounding XM radio I’ve heard.īeyond control, the biggest problem other XM tuners have is poor line level output voltage, this is not a problem with this tuner, there was no drop in volume level when switching between other sources in my system. I not going to spend a lot of time on sound quality as that is not the purpose of this review, but it includes Burr-Brown Digital-to-Analog Converters, it has both coax and optical digital as well as RCA analog outputs. It is 17" wide by 2.3" high by 10.5" deep and weights 5 pounds. Unlike most other XM tuners, the XRT12 is a designed to be a home stereo component. It gave me the chance to evaluate it for my client’s, while listening to Pat and Ron give the play by play.

Since moving from my native Illinois, I have missed listening to my Cubs, so when the XRT12 became available I picked one up for my home. This year when they added baseball, that was just icing on the cake. I’m a big time jazz fan and the state of local jazz radio is very grim in this part of the world, so as soon as I heard about XM, I knew it was for me.
