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 ®.
