ST2-XM OPERATION

ST2-RC REMOTE CONTROL

ST2-RC Remote Control Operation

The ST2-RC remote control is the only means of remote operation of the ST2-XM in a non--RNET sys- tem. The ST2-XM front panel displays information for the tuner that is receiving commands from the ST2- RC. However, the ST2-RC commands do not change which tuner is playing; that is done through the sys- tem’s source selection.

Turning the unit on/off

To switch the ST2 tuner in or out of standby mode,

PWR

push or any other button except TUNER 1 or TUNER 2.

Selecting the desired tuner

To control a tuner, push TUNER 1 or TUNER 2 . When pressed, these buttons will be backlit green for Tuner 1 (XM) and amber for Tuner 2 (AM/FM). Each time a tuner is selected the display will refresh with the cur- rent station or preset for that tuner, and all subse- quent button presses and memory preset entries will be associated with that selected tuner.
