Block Channels
on Sirius Radio
Sirius Radio offers more than 130 channels. Many of these stations air programming that is only appropriate for mature audiences. If you have children, this can pose a problem. However, you can easily protect your family from content you feel is inappropriate by changing your system's settings.
Sirius systems provide parental controls that allow you to block individual stations. The process is generally the same for most models. If you're having difficulty, check your radio's user manual for specific instructions or call Sirius Radio's technical support team at 1-888-539-7474.
Instructions
1. Press your radio's Menu button to access the system's "Menu Options" screen. It will look somewhat like this:
Menu Options:
Sirius ID
Settings
Sports Alerts
Time Based Features
Signal Indicator
2. Highlight "Settings" and press "Select" to enter your choice.
3. Highlight and select "Parental Control." This option is towards the bottom of the menu. Use your radio knob or the up/down buttons on your system's remote control to scroll down the list.
4. Select "Lock/Unlock Channels." If you've opened the right menu, this will be the first option available.
5. Enter your four-digit security code. The system will not let you block channels if you enter the wrong code. If you haven't set a personalized code, enter "0-0-0-0." This is the default setting; just remember to go back and set a code later for added security.
6. Select the stations you don't want to hear using the tuning knob or your remote. Once you have the right station highlighted, press "Select." If you've done it correctly, the word "LOCK" will appear next to the channel name. Your radio will now block this station.
