INTRODUCTION

INSTALLATION APPLICATIONS

RNET-enabled System

When the ST2S Tuner is used with an RNET- enabled device such as the CAV6.6 and is con- nected to it through the Link In or Link Out port, the tuner will be controlled by the CAV6.6 through the UNO-S2 keypad. Through RNET, tuner information such as Tuner 1 or 2, station frequency or channel, preset names and AM/FM band or SIRIUS 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 ST2S 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 (Rev. 3) requires firmware version 2.01.16 or higher and CAV6.6 (Rev. 4) requires firmware version

3.01.10or higher to control each tuner through RNET. The UNO-S2 keypad requires firmware version 3.01.01 or higher.

IR-controlled System

CAi Series -

The ST2S 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 ST2S 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 ST2S. 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 ST2S IR codes may be learned into many other manufacturers’ remote controls that have learning capability for unified control over the A/V equipment.

Note: Optional ST2-KP keypads can be used to provide control for the ST2S Tuner and are designed to be used with IR-controlled systems.

RS-232 Controlled System

The ST2S 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.
