INTRODUCTION

DESCRIPTION

Thank you for choosing the Russound ST2S Smart Tuner. Whether you are adding radio to an existing system, expanding a CAi Series system or taking advantage of the CAV6.6’s robust RNET® communication link, the ST2S Tuner is designed to meet your needs.

The ST2S Tuner is like having two radios in one. The AM/FM tuner provides broadcast of local AM/FM stations, and the SIRIUS tuner delivers all the diversity and choices available to SIRIUS radio subscribers. The two modules share one set of controls and display on the front of the unit, but each runs independently. This arrange- ment allows two different broadcasts at the same time in a multi-room audio distribution system.

SIRIUS brings you satellite radio

the way you want to hear it. SIRIUS satellite radio provides

over 120 channels of unique programming, all with digital quality sound. Enjoy 65 channels of 100% commercial-free music, with over 50 chan- nels of sports, news and entertainment.

The wide variety of SIRIUS programming choices offers something for everyone, but some adult content may not be suitable for children. The ST2S provides a parental lock out feature to eas- ily block access to a specific SIRIUS channel.

SIRIUS satellite radio is a subscription-based service, and listeners can subscribe by visiting SIRIUS on the web www.sirius.com or by calling SIRIUS at 888-539-7474.

In addition to the traditional AM/FM broadcast tuner function and the SIRIUS satellite access, the ST2S Tuner can store up to 72 favorites, or memory presets. These are stored in groups of six called banks. There are six banks for each tuner. Each preset and each bank can be given a custom name of your choice.

The ST2S Tuner can be controlled from the front panel or by the dedicated ST2-KP tuner keypad. It can also be controlled by the ST2-RC IR remote aimed at the tuner’s front panel IR receiver. The ST2-RC IR codes can be learned into any IR learning remote control for easy system integra- tion. It can also be controlled by IR signals received through the IR connections on the rear panel from IR repeating system commonly used in distributed audio systems.

If the ST2S Tuner is part of an RNET-enabled sys- tem such as the CAV6.6-S2 system, the tuner can be controlled through an RNET keypad such as the UNO-S2.

The ST2 Tuner also has an RS-232 port to sup- port fully bi-directional integration into whole- house control systems such as Crestron® and AMX®.
