INTRODUCTION DESCRIPTION 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.
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).
