ST2-XM SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
BASIC CONNECTIONS
Power
To power the tuner, connect the 12VDC external
power supply by inserting the power supply jack
into the power supply connection on the tuner’s
rear panel.
Audio Output
Connect one end of a dual RCA audio cable to
the Tuner 1 Audio Output connection. Keep prop-
er channel identity. Attach the other end of the
RCA cables to the source input of the audio con-
trol system. Repeat the same procedure for the
Tuner 2 Audio Output.
IR Connections
The ST2-XM Tuner can be controlled by infrared
commands received through the two IR connec-
tions on the rear panel. The ST2-XM Tuner com-
ponent contains two tuners, which must be set
up as two sources. There are two IR connec-
tions - one for each tuner in the ST2-XM. You will
need two IR link cables (Russound P/N 09-0508)
for these connections. There is a unique IR code
set each for Tuner 1 and Tuner 2, which allow
each to be controlled independently. These
codes can be learned from the ST2-RC remote
into learning-capable remotes and keypads.
If you are using an IR-controlled system from
another manufacturer, installation should be sim-
ilar. 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.
RNET Connection
To link the ST2-XM to an RNET-compatible
device, use a CAT-5 passthrough patch cable
with similar wiring terminations at each end.
Connect one end of the cable to the RNET Link
In of the ST2 tuner, and connect the other end
of the patch cable to the RNET Link Out connec-
tion on the RNET-compatible device.
ST2-KP Keypad to ST2-XM Connection
(Non-RNET System)
The ST2-KP connects to the ST2-XM tuner with
CAT-5 cable, using an RJ-45 (T568A) jack on the
tuner connection end of the cable. Be sure to
use the keypad ports for the ST2-KP and NOT
the RNET link ports. The ST2-XM tuner supports
up to two ST2-KP keypads. An SA-ZX3 Keypad
Splitter can be used to add additional keypads.
Note: ST2-KP keypads are designed for use
with IR-controlled systems (non-RNET systems).
When the ST2-XM Tuner is a component of an
RNET system such as CAV6.6, the RNET-system
keypads are used.
Rack Mount Installation
The ST2-XM can be mounted in a standard com-
ponent rack using the rack ears provided. Line
the rack ear’s two rows of screw holes with the
three screw holes on the side of the tuner. Use
the screws provided to secure the rack ears
onto the unit on both sides. The ST2-XM tuner
should not be installed above a high heat-pro-
ducing component such as a power amplifier.
