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 cables to the source input of the audio con- trol system. Repeat the same procedure for the Tuner 2 Audio Output.
IR Connections
The ST2-XM Tuner can be controlled by infrared commands received through the two IR connec- tions on the rear panel. The ST2-XM Tuner com- ponent contains two tuners, which must be set up as two sources. There are two IR connec- tions - one for each tuner in the ST2-XM. 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 remotes and keypads.
If you are using an IR-controlled system from another manufacturer, installation should be sim- ilar. 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.
RNET Connection
To link the ST2-XM 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 RJ-45 Connection Wiring
ST2-KP Keypad to ST2-XM Connection (Non-RNET System)
The ST2-KP connects to the ST2-XM 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-XM tuner supports 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-XM Tuner is a component of an RNET system such as CAV6.6, the RNET-system keypads are used.
Rack Mount Installation
The ST2-XM can be mounted in a standard com- ponent 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-XM tuner should not be installed above a high heat-pro- ducing component such as a power amplifier.
