ST2-XM2 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 cable to the source input of the audio con-
trol system. Repeat the same procedure for the
Tuner 2 Audio Output.
IR Connections
The ST2-XM2 Tuner can be controlled by
infrared commands received through the two IR
connections on the rear panel. The ST2-XM2
Tuner component contains two tuners, which
must be set up as two sources. There are two
IR connections - one for each tuner in the
ST2-XM2. 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 remote
controls and keypads.
If you are using an IR-controlled system from
another manufacturer, installation should be
similar. 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.
RNET Connection
To link the ST2-XM2 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-XM2 Connection
(Non-RNET System)
The ST2-KP connects to the ST2-XM2 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-XM2 tuner sup-
ports 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-XM2 Tuner is a component of an
RNET system such as CAV6.6, the RNET-system
keypads are used.
Rack Mount Installation
The ST2-XM2 can be mounted in a standard
component 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-XM2
tuner should not be installed above a high heat-
producing component such as a power amplifier.
