Note: The Setup Menu procedures must be performed from the ST2-XM Tuner front panel. 

The ST2-XM Tuner Setup Menus provide setup and naming procedures for the ST2-XM main chassis,
the XM tuner module and the AM/FM tuner module. These procedures include source number assign-
ments, assigning a custom name to a memory preset or a bank, choosing a region for AM/FM opera-
tion (US or Euro), factory initialization and system information. 

If the ST2-XM is used with a non-RNET system, the ST2-XM can be connected and operated without
any setup programming. Follow the setup menus if custom names are desired, or for system info. 

If the ST2-XM is used with an RNET system such as CAV6.6, the following minimum setup must be
performed for the ST2-XM 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.

The Source Number procedure permits Tuner 1
(XM) and Tuner 2 (AM/FM) to be assigned the
proper peripheral source identities as will be
assigned in the CAV6.6 Source Setup.

the TNR SEL button.

9. Press TNR SEL to exit the Source Number
menu. 

The Update Firmware procedure allows the ST2
tuner’s OS firmware to be updated. The proce-
dure is performed using a DB9 serial cable with
one end connected to the RS-232 port on the
back of the tuner and the other connected to a
PC or laptop. If an OS firmware update is avail-
able, it can be obtained through the Document
Center at
