frequency or channel, preset names and AM/FM band or XM is displayed on UNO-S2 keypads. An additional RNET device can be connected to an existing ST2 by using the Link Out of the first unit into the Link In of the second unit.
Before using the ST2-XM tuner with the CAV6.6, you must assign source numbers to Tuner 1 and 2 in the ST2 Setup Menu AND complete the CAV6.6’s Source Setup procedure to identify 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-XM 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-XM 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-XM. 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 similar. 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.
A-BUS®System -
The ST2-XM Tuner can be used in an A-BUS sys-
tem with an audio distribution hub such as the A-H484 and IR-repeating keypads such as the A-KP2. The connections on the rear panel are designed to receive IR signals from a repeating system commonly used in A-BUS distributed audio systems.
For A-BUS applications, as with the CAi series installation, the two tuners in the ST2-XM unit must be set up as two sources, with two source audio inputs and two IR connections. You will need two IR link cables for these connections. The two IR code sets can be learned from the ST2-RC remote into the A-LRC1 remote control.
Note: Optional ST2-KP keypads can be used to provide control for the ST2-XM Tuner and are designed to be used with IR-controlled systems.
RS-232 Controlled System
The ST2-XM 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, www.russound.com.
