INTRODUCTION
Before using the ST2-XM2 tuner with the
CAV6.6 or CAM6.6, you must assign source
numbers to Tuner 1 and 2 in the ST2 Setup
Menu AND complete the CAV6.6 and
CAM6.6’s Source Setup procedure to identi-
fy 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-XM2 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-XM2 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-XM2. 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 simi-
lar. The ST2-XM2 IR codes may be learned into
many other manufacturers’ remote controls that
have learning capability for unified control over
the A/V equipment.
Note: Optional ST2-KP keypads can be used to
provide control for the ST2-XM2 Tuner and are
designed to be used with IR-controlled systems.
RS-232 Controlled System
The ST2-XM2 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,
