JVC’s PDA-styled KT-SR1000 Sirius satellite radio receiver brings a wealth of music and news programming to your car and/or home audio system in a plug-and-play device that’s as easy to use as it is to transport. The receiver offers accessible buttons and a large, bright LCD with multiple options for enhancing legibility. Artist names and song titles are presented in large type to enhance safety by minimizing distractions. Use of the receiver requires activation of a subscription to Sirius Satellite Radio ($12.95 per month or a one-time fee of $499.99). You’ll also need a car or home docking apparatus, sold separately.
The KT-SR1000 lets you enter a desired channel/stream number directly, or you can search for programming by scrolling through a list of channels or even a list of currently playing artists. For one-touch access, you can set up to 30 stream preferences, or presets, with the option to lock or unlock a given function. For example, you can store a list of preferred categories and stations without fear of alteration until you decide it’s time for a change.
Memory Capture stores 30 favorite songs in the form of PDTs (Program Definition Text, with artist name and song title), and, when activated, the unit’s S-Seek feature will search all incoming streams for those songs.
Time-based functions include an alarm, a sleep timer, and program alert, which switches the KT-SR1000 to a preprogrammed stream at a selected time. The KT-SR1000 features a 132 x 65-pixel dot-matrix FSTN LCD with separate controls for brightness and contrast.
The KT-SR1000 must be used with one of the following adapter kits:
- JVC KS-K6003 home kit
- JVC KS-K6002 vehicle kit (with wireless FM transmitter)
- JVC KS-K6001 vehicle kit (without wireless FM transmitter)
Sirius satellite radio is a subscription service that provides more than 100 channels of digital programming, from music to news, talk, and sports. It is available only in the lower 48 states–not available in Alaska, Hawaii, or U.S. territories.

I’ve had the JVC Sirius receiver for about 6 months now and have had no problems with it. I like the large screen and the feel of the buttons. Easy to see and use while driving.
Wow is this unit nice, like a PDA for Satellite Radio. Sirius is the best service, used to have XM but switched when they added NFL coverage, I will be a life long sub!!
It went dead after only three months. The number I called for warranty repair/replacement kept redirecting me to repair centers all over the country.
Finally, I got an answer–mail it to service center somewhere in Illinois (I pay the postage), and it will take four to six weeks to get a new receiver. Which means you will have to pay to have the new one activated, not knowing if it will fail in three months AGAIN, and…
Anyway, you get the picture. Just trust me–don’t buy it.
I have had this receiver almost a year and have dropped it three times on pavement and it still works! The other day it slipped out and the top actually split open, and then I heard something rattling inside. I thought for sure it would never work again but it does with no problems. I have not even replaced the remote batteries yet!
I drive truck at night and have a cradle for it in each of my personal vehicles so it gets alot of use.
The only thing I do not like is the red colored screen. It is hard to read especially at night in the dark. Would of been better to have the font black instead of light colored or the whole thing blue. It is a little large but I like the larger buttons rather than small.
I got the JVC kit for my birthday in early November and I’ve got to say Im hooked. The music channels are great and I havent heard a commercial since receiving the unit. I’ve had no problem with receiption in my home or car.
My new favoriate toy.
