Product Description
JVC's KT-SR2000 sleek new Sirius Satellite Radio Plug n' Play offers a unique PDA like design which seamlessly integrates into a car's interior without interfering with the passenger space.

Amazon.com Product Description
Smaller than its predecessor by a third, JVC's compact, PDA-styled KT-SR2000 Plug 'n' Play (PnP) Sirius Satellite Radio receiver brings a wealth of music and news programming to your car and/or home audio system in a device that's as easy to use as it is to transport. The PnP 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-SR2000 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 18 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 20 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-SR2000 to a preprogrammed stream at a selected time. The KT-SR2000 features an easy-to-read LCD with separate controls for brightness, contrast, and font. This model also features an ambient light sensor, which automatically adjusts the display brightness to suit your viewing conditions.

The KT-SR2000 must be used with one of the following adapter kits:

  • JVC KS-K6013 home kit
  • JVC KS-K6012 vehicle kit

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.

What's in the Box
Sirius receiver, a remote control, remote batteries, and a user's manual.

5 out of 5 stars Sirius Satellite Radio rules   December 2, 2007
There are no substitutes for Howard 100, I just need the stock to go up!


5 out of 5 stars 2 Years and Strong   November 29, 2007
I purchased this tuner two years ago now when Howard was doing his 'sound check' before leaving terrestrial radio. It gets warm, but I've fallen asleep with it on God knows how many times with it still running and no problems yet. I keep this thing 'hard-wired'. Either into a Sony receiver via 1/8" to RCA or, 1/8" to cassette adapter. Even with the cassette adapter the sound is good. Actually excellent. I have no complaints except for the remote. The remote well is not that durable in a 'shop' environment, in a ziploc bag. The tuner buttons themselves have taken plenty of use however, and offer no problems. I have read lots of bad reviews on this tuner but mine is great. Just think every NFL game, NBA, NASCAR, and most importantly Howard Stern in crisp audio regular radio can't touch. Just hard wire it. It's not difficult these days. Drop $100 for a head unit with a 1/8" plug in, maybe $160 for those of you not mechanically inclined to have said head unit installed. It will be the best thing you ever do.


1 out of 5 stars Bad Unit!!   February 2, 2007
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is the 2nd one of these I have had, and the 2nd one my husband has had. The first two we got for X-Mas 2004 and were returning them both to JVC by Nov 2005. JVC gave us a horrible time, but since it was under warranty, they replaced both of them.

Now, tonight, my light sensor per JVC has gone out and they won't replace it. I can ship it to them and they will look at it for $65 and then diagnose it. Well.. the lady told me over the phone what the problem was. Then she said they will charge me to fix it, then ship it back.

WHAT??? I don't even know what to do. She suggested calling Circuit City or Best Buy for repair... both of them say NO WAY!!

Well....not such good luck.

When this unit works.. it is great... but we have had 4... and issues with all them..

Good luck!



2 out of 5 stars Great when it works   January 6, 2007

Very convenient to move this unit between the car and the boombox. However the FM modulator would not work at all in our new 4Runner, even with a simple antenna added to it. We use a cassette adapter -- it degrades the sound quality somewhat. If we had it installed again, we'd buy and install the adapter needed to connect the FM modulator output to our FM radio's antenna cable.

The red display began to be intermittent before it was a year old, now it completely out (15 months old) and is going back to JVC. Hopefully they'll give us a refurbished unit in exchange.



1 out of 5 stars Not great   December 6, 2006

I've had this unit for a year and during that time, I've experienced the following:

-Hissing no matter which FM station is chosen
-Alert feature doesn't appear to work properly. Many times I am not alerted to the songs I have saved in my favorites. I'll turn the station and there's a song I have saved, but wasn't alerted.
-The lighted display crapped out this weekend. It's dark.

I am a Mom and don't ever remove this from my car. I rarely touch the unit and opt instead to use the remote. So the wear on it is minimal. It was a poor purchase at best.
