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.
