ST2-RC Remote Control Operation

Turning the unit on

To take the ST2 tuner out of standby mode, push PWR or any other button except TUNER 1 or TUNER 2.

Selecting the desired tuner

(Note: To change the tuner that is audio-active, you must have some other system control in place to change the source)

To control a tuner, push the TUNER 1 or TUNER 2 button. When pressed, these buttons will be backlit green for Tuner 1 and amber for Tuner 2. 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.

Selecting the desired band

Push the AM/FM button to switch between AM and FM reception.

Selecting the desired frequency

Use the Tune Up and Tune Down buttons for manual tuning. To move quickly through the channels, press and hold either of the Tune buttons for more than 1.5 seconds.

To directly select a station, press TUNE, and enter the three- or four-digit station frequency (1071 for 107.1, etc.). European regions use five-digit station frequencies.

Frequency Seek

The SEEK function is performed by pressing and releasing the SEEK left or right buttons. To seek high- er frequency station press SEEK>, and press SEEK< for lower frequencies. SEEK> tuning begins at the current frequency, seeks upward and stops at the next tuned station. Pushing the SEEK> again contin- ues the SEEK function. Once the highest frequency is reached, the tuner continues in SEEK mode at the lowest frequency.

Selecting Stereo or Mono Output

Press the ST/MONO button to toggle between stereo and mono mode. STEREO or MONO appears briefly on the screen when selecting mode. Normal opera- tion is in stereo mode. On a preset, the stereo/mono setting is saved for that preset. This is useful for sta- tions which may have annoying static in stereo mode. Selecting mono will bring in a much stronger signal with less noise but at the cost of stereo sound.

Selecting Distant or Local Reception

Press the LOC/DX button to toggle between Distant and Local mode. DISTANT or LOCAL appears briefly on the screen when selecting mode. Normal opera- tion is in Distant mode. In cities, antennas can pick up multipath signals when they bounce off buildings and get doubled. The Local mode limits the noise associ- ated with these reflected signals.

Recalling a Memory Preset

To recall a memory preset, select the desired tuner, press the BANK button to select the desired bank, then press MEM and enter the desired preset number (1 to 6). The memory presets can also be accessed by using the MEM UP and MEM DOWN buttons to scroll through all presets for the selected bank.

Saving Favorites

The remote control stores two “favorites” (similar to memory presets) per tuner. These are set simply by selecting either Tuner 1 or Tuner 2, setting the desired frequency and pressing and holding the FAV 1 or 2 button until “FAV1 (2) saved” appears on the tuner. Stored Favorites are then recalled by pressing either FAV 1 or FAV 2.
