ST2S TUNER PROGRAMMING

ST2 TUNER SETUP MENU

ST2S Tuner Setup Menus

Note: The Setup Menu procedures must be performed from the ST2S Tuner front panel.

The ST2S Tuner Setup Menus provide setup and naming procedures for the ST2S main chassis, the SIRIUS tuner module and the AM/FM tuner module. These procedures include source number assign- ments, assigning a custom name to a memory preset or a bank, choosing a region for AM/FM opera- tion (US or Euro), factory initialization and system information.

If the ST2S is used with a non-RNETsystem, the ST2S can be connected and operated without any setup programming. Follow the setup menus if custom names are desired, or for system info.

If the ST2S is used with an RNET system such as CAV6.6, the following minimum setup must be performed for the ST2S to be properly controlled by the CAV6.6.

1.ST2 Chassis Setup Menu - Assign source numbers to Tuner 1 and Tuner 2.

2.CAV6.6 Source Setup Menu - Assign the corresponding source numbers to Tuner 1 and Tuner 2.

3.CAV6.6 Source Setup Menu - Assign command type PERIPHERAL to Tuner 1 and Tuner 2.

NOTE: Once the programming procedures are completed, cycle power first to the Tuner and then to the CAV6.6 (must be powered on last) to establish a connection.

Source Number (Chassis)

The Source Number procedure permits Tuner 1 (SIRIUS) and Tuner 2 (AM/FM) to be assigned the proper peripheral source identities as will be assigned in the CAV6.6 Source Setup.

Note: Each of the ST2S modules can be config- ured as source number “unassigned” if the mod- ule is used in another system (e.g., home the- ater) or will not be used as a source in the RNET system.

1.Enter the Setup Menu by pressing and holding the SELECT button.

2.TUNER SETUP appears. Press MEM Up/Down until SOURCE NUM appears on the tuner.

3.Press MODE/BAND. TUNER # appears.

4.Press the Tune Up/Down buttons to select the Tuner # (Tuner 1 is SIRIUS, Tuner 2 is AM/FM).

5.Press MODE/BAND. SOURCE NUM appears.

6.Press the Tune Up/Down buttons to scroll through the source numbers 1-6.

7.Press MODE/BAND to select the source num- ber (as assigned in the CAV6.6 setup process).

8.Repeat the process for the next tuner.

9.Press SELECT to exit the Source Number menu.

Update Firmware (Chassis)

The Update Firmware procedure allows the ST2 tuner’s OS firmware to be updated. The proce- dure is performed using a DB9 serial cable with one end connected to the RS-232 port on the back of the tuner and the other connected to a PC or laptop. If an OS firmware update is avail- able, it can be obtained through the Document Center at www.russound.com. SIRIUS tuner mod- ule firmware must be performed by an author- ized Russound service facility.
