Thank you for choosing the Russound ST2 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 ST2 Tuner is designed to
meet your needs.
The ST2 Tuner is like having two radios in one.
The two AM/FM tuner modules share one set of
controls and display on the front of the unit, but
each runs independently. This arrangement
allows two different broadcasts at the same time
in a multi-room audio distribution system.
In addition to the traditional AM/FM broadcast
tuner function, the ST2 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 ST2 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 integration. 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 ST2 Tuner is part of an RNET-enabled system such as the CA
V6.6-S2 system, the tuner
can be controlled through an UNO-S2 keypad.
The ST2 Tuner also has an RS-232 port to support fully bi-directional integration into wholehouse control systems such as Crestron

INSTALLATION APPLICATIONS
RNET-enabled System
When the ST2 Tuner is used with an RNETenabled device such as the CAV6.6 and is connected 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, preset names and AM/FM band 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 ST2 tuner with the
V6.6, you must assign sour
CA
ce numbers
to Tuner 1 and 2 in the ST2 Setup Menu
AND complete the CAV6.6’s Source Setup
ocedure to identify the tuner as a
pr
“Peripheral“ device and assign Sour
ce
Numbers. The CAV6.6 requires firmware
version 2.00.01 or higher to control each
tuner thr

INTRODUCTION
IR-controlled System
CAi Series -
The ST2 Tuner can be controlled by infrared
commands received through the two IR connections on the rear panel. The ST2 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 ST2. You will need at least one
IR link cable (Russound P/N 09-0508) for these
connections (one is supplied with each CAi system). 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. If
you are using an IR-controlled system from another manufacturer, installation should be similar.
The ST2 IR codes may be learned into many
other manufacturers’ remote controls that have
learning capability for unified control over the A/V
equipment.
A-BUS® System -
The ST2 Tuner can be used in an A-BUS system
with an audio distribution hub such as the
A-H484 and IR-repeating keypads such as the
A-KP2. The connections on the rear panel are
designed to receive IR signals from a repeating
system commonly used in A-BUS distributed
audio systems.
RS-232 Controlled System
The ST2 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 available to dealers on the Russound web site,
www.russound.com.
BOX CONTENTS
The ST2 Tuner comes with the parts needed to
setup and operate the component. These
include:
• ST2 Tuner (two AM/FM modules)
• ST2-RC remote control
• 12VDC power supply
• AM loop antenna (2)
• FM antenna (2)
• RCA audio cable (2)
• Rack mount ears
If any of these parts are missing, please call

ST2 TUNER PROGRAMMING
ST2 TUNER SETUP MENU
ST2 Tuner Setup Menus
Note: The Setup Menu procedures must be performed from the ST2 Tuner front panel.
The ST2 Tuner Setup Menus provide setup and naming procedures for the ST2 main chassis, and
each AM/FM tuner module. These procedures include source number assignments, assigning a custom name to a memory preset or a bank, choosing a region for AM/FM operation (US or Euro), factory initialization and system information.
If the ST2 is used with a non-RNET system, the ST2 can be connected and operated without any
setup programming. Follow the setup menus if custom names are desired, or for system information.
If the ST2 is used with an RNET system such as CAV6.6, the following minimum setup must be per-
formed for the ST2 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 Configuration Note:
When the ST2 Tuner is used with the CAV6.6 or other RNET controller, it is configured as an RNET
command type “Peripheral” and is connected via the RNET bus. This makes the tuner behave as a
fully integrated device with UNO-S2 keypad support. Each tuner must be set up with a unique source
number (1 - 6) or unassigned. An unassigned tuner is not controlled by the RNET bus.
Key Function Note: When using the tuner with the CAV6.6-S2 system, do not reassign keypad and
remote buttons for tuner control in the CAV6.6 Key Configuration Menu. When the tuner is assigned
the “Peripheral” command type in the CAV6.6 Setup Menu, key assignments and functions are automatically assigned and will operate as shown in the pr
