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 arrangement 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 channels 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 easily 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 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 ST2S Tuner is part of an RNET-enabled system 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 support fully bi-directional integration into wholehouse control systems such as Crestron
®
and
AMX
®
.

INTRODUCTION
INSTALLATION APPLICATIONS
RNET-enabled System
When the ST2S 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 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
3.01.10 or 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 available to dealers on the Russound web site,
www
.russound.com
.

Power
To power the tuner, connect the 12VDC external
power supply by inserting the power supply jack
into the power supply connection on the tuner’s
rear panel.
Audio Output
Connect one end of a dual RCA audio cable to
the Tuner 1 Audio Output connection. Keep proper channel identity. Attach the other end of the
RCA cables to the source input of the audio control system. Repeat the same procedure for the
Tuner 2 Audio Output.
RNET Connection
To link the ST2S to an RNET-compatible device,
use a CAT-5 passthrough patch cable with similar wiring terminations at each end. Connect one
end of the cable to the RNET Link In of the ST2
tuner, and connect the other end of the patch
cable to the RNET Link Out connection on the
RNET-compatible device.
IR Connections
The ST2S Tuner can be controlled by infrared
commands received through the two IR connections on the rear panel. The ST2S Tuner component contains two tuners, which must be set up
as two sources. There are two IR connections one for each tuner in the ST2S. You will need
two IR link cables (Russound P/N 09-0508) for
these connections. There is a unique IR code set
each for Tuner 1 and Tuner 2, which allow each
to be controlled independently. These codes can
be learned from the ST2-RC remote into learning-capable remotes and keypads.
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 audio-video equipment.
ST2-KP Keypad to ST2S Connection
(Non-RNET System)
Note: ST2-KP keypads are designed for use
with IR-controlled systems (non-RNET systems).
When the ST2S Tuner is a component of an
RNET system such as CAV6.6, the RNET-system
keypads are used.
The ST2-KP connects to the ST2S tuner with
CAT-5 cable, using an RJ-45 (T568A) jack on the
tuner connection end of the cable. Be sure to
use the keypad ports for the ST2-KP and NOT
the RNET link ports. The ST2S tuner supports
up to two ST2-KP keypads. An SA-ZX3 Keypad
Splitter can be used to add additional keypads.
Rack Mount Installation
The ST2S can be mounted in a standard component rack using the rack ears provided. Line the
rack ear’s two rows of screw holes with the
three screw holes on the side of the tuner. Use
the screws provided to secure the rack ears
onto the unit on both sides. The ST2S tuner
should not be installed above a high heat-producing component such as a power amplifier.

ST2S SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
AM Antenna
Connect the included loop antenna for AM reception to the back panel, attaching the GND
(ground) and AM ends to the appropriate connections for Tuner 2.
It is recommended to use an external outdoor or
attic-mounted long wire antenna for best performance for AM reception. Use a 75-ohm to
300-ohm balun at the AM connection on the
tuner, and attach the 75-ohm coax cable to the
balun.
FM Antenna
Attach the included FM antenna to the Tuner 2
FM COAX connection on the back panel by pushing the F-type quick-connect termination of the
antenna onto the FM connection.
It is recommended to use an external outdoor or
attic-mounted long wire antenna for best performance for FM reception. Attach the desired
length of 75-ohm coax cable directly to the FM
connection on the tuner.
Connecting an Indoor or Outdoor AM/FM Antenna
