Russound ST2-XM Stereo System User Manual

INTRODUCTION
frequency or channel, preset names and AM/FM
band or XM is displayed on UNO-S2 keypads. An
additional RNET device can be connected to an
existing ST2 by using the Link Out of the first
unit into the Link In of the second unit.
Before using the ST2-XM tuner with the
CAV6.6, you must assign source numbers
to Tuner 1 and 2 in the ST2 Setup Menu
AND
complete the CAV6.6’s Source Setup
procedure to identify the tuner as a
“Peripheral“ device and assign Source
Numbers. The CAV6.6 requires firmware
version 2.00.01 or higher to control each
tuner through RNET. The UNO-S2 keypad
requires firmware version 3.00.01 or
higher.
IR-controlled System
CAi Series -
The ST2-XM Tuner can be controlled by infrared
commands received through either of the two IR
connections on the rear panel. There are two
unique IR code sets for Tuner 1 and Tuner 2,
which allow each to be controlled independently
from either IR connection. These codes can be
learned from the ST2-RC remote control into the
CA-LRC1 remote control and/or the DSC and
DAN IR learning keypads. The ST2-XM contains
two individual tuners, which makes it act as two
sources in the CAi system. There are two source
audio outputs and two IR connections - one for
each tuner in the ST2-XM. You will need at least
one IR link cable (Russound P/N 09-0508) for
these connections (one is supplied with each CAi
system). If you are using an IR-controlled system
from another manufacturer, installation should be
similar. The ST2-XM IR codes may be learned
into many other manufacturers’ remote controls
that have learning capability for unified control
over the A/V equipment.
A-BUS
®
System -
The ST2-XM Tuner can be used in an A-BUS sys-
tem with an audio distribution hub such as the
A-H484 and IR-repeating keypads such as the
A-KP2. The connections on the rear panel are
designed to receive IR signals from a repeating
system commonly used in A-BUS distributed
audio systems.
For A-BUS applications, as with the CAi series
installation, the two tuners in the ST2-XM unit
must be set up as two sources, with two source
audio inputs and two IR connections. You will
need two IR link cables for these connections.
The two IR code sets can be learned from the
ST2-RC remote into the A-LRC1 remote control.
Note: Optional ST2-KP keypads can be used to
provide control for the ST2-XM Tuner and are
designed to be used with IR-controlled systems.
RS-232 Controlled System
The ST2-XM Tuner can be controlled using the
RNET protocol provided via the RS-232 port on
the rear panel. It can also be controlled by any
RS-232-enabled control system (e.g., Crestron,
AMX). Information on RS-232 operation is avail-
able to dealers on the Russound web site,
