INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
Thank you for choosing the Russound ST2-XM2
Dual Smart Tuner. Whether you are adding satel-
lite radio to an existing system, expanding a CAi
Series system or taking advantage of the
CAV6.6’s robust RNET
®
communication link, the
ST2-XM2 Tuner is designed to meet your needs.
The ST2-XM2 Tuner doubles your satellite radio
listening enjoyment with two XM radio modules in
one unit. The XM tuner delivers all the diversity
and choices available to XM radio subscribers.
The two modules share one set of controls and
display on the front of the unit, but each runs
independently. This arrangement allows two dif-
ferent broadcasts at the same time in a multi-
source, multi-room audio distribution system.
XM satellite radio provides over 100 channels of
music, news sports, comedy, talk and entertain-
ment. Its coast-to-coast coverage, digital quality
sound and many commercial-free music channels
make XM radio the choice for the discriminating
listener.
XM radio is a subscription-based service, and lis-
teners can subscribe by visiting XM on the web
www.xmradio.com
or by calling XM’s Listener
Care at 800-967-2346.
In addition to XM satellite access, the ST2-XM2
Tuner can store up to 72 favorites, or
memory
presets
. These are stored in groups of six called
banks
. There are six banks for each tuner. Each
preset and each bank can be given a custom
name of your choice.
The ST2-XM2 Tuner can be controlled from the
front panel or by the dedicated ST2-KP tuner key-
pad. It can also be controlled by the ST2-RC IR
remote aimed at the tuner’s front panel IR receiv-
er. The ST2-RC IR codes can be learned into any
IR learning remote control for easy system inte-
gration. It can also be controlled by IR signals
received through the IR connections on the rear
panel from IR repeating system commonly used
in distributed audio systems.
If the ST2-XM2 Tuner is part of an RNET-enabled
system such as the CAV6.6-S2 or CAM6.6, the
tuner can be controlled through an RNET keypad
such as the UNO-S2.
The ST2-XM2 Tuner also has an RS-232 port to
support fully bi-directional integration into whole-
house control systems such as Crestron
®
and
AMX
®
.
