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.
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.
