RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, June 13, 2017 | 1:46pm CT

SiriusXM introduces its newest dock and play radio -- the Onyx EZR -- which delivers several new features at an entry-level price. The new unit features a larger display than its predecessor, the Onyx EZ, with improved resolution and selectable background and text options that allow for better viewing in all lighting conditions. It also offers a split screen option that enables the user to view what's on the current channel in one pane, and simultaneously see what's playing on their other favorite channels in the second pane.

"The SiriusXM Onyx EZR is an excellent step up in usability, featuring several new capabilities at an entry-level price," said SiriusXM Executive VP/Emerging Business Joe Verbrugge. "We're pleased to offer new and existing subscribers this exciting new radio, which will deliver both SiriusXM's robust programming lineup and an excellent user experience."

Another improvement over the Onyx EZ is the addition of TuneMix, which allows Onyx EZR users to listen to a mix of songs from across several of their favorite channels. Other features on the SiriusXM Onyx EZR allow users to:

• Operate the radio while driving by using its ergonomically designed and easily identifiable buttons.
• Browse and preview channels by category.
• Easily connect to a vehicle or home sound system.
• Set parental controls.
• Operate the radio from a distance using a remote control.

SiriusXM Onyx EZR is available now at retail locations and online stores with a MSRP of $79.99.
