One-Touch Locomotive Operation
Doppler
Press this button to activate the Proto-Doppler feature for one-time use (LCD will show Dop-
pler = On” or “Doppler = Off”). Engine sounds will initially drop, then build to a peak before
fading away. Press the DOPPLER button again after the effect has played to turn the feature
off and return the locomotive to normal engine sounds.
Protocast
To activate this feature, you must first connect an audio source to the DCS system.
1. Plug a male-to-male mini cable (1/8” plug, like that used for the headset with a portable CD/
tape player or M.T.H. Item No. 50-1009) first into the Proto-Cast port of the TIU, then plug the
other end of the cable into your audio source’s headphone jack or line-out jack.
2. Play the recording according to the audio source’s instructions.
3. Press the “PROTOCAST” button to play the recording through your engine. When the
Proto-Cast feature is enabled, your regular engine sounds are silenced so that the recording
may be heard clearly. A (C) appears on the LCD to indicate that Proto-Cast is in use.
4. Press the button again to stop the feature and return to normal engine sounds.
You can use Proto-Cast in only one engine at a time (the active engineat the time the feature is
selected). Because Proto-Cast uses a large share of the microprocessor’s processing power in
the TIU, activating other features while running with Proto-Cast may cause interruptions in the
audio.
DCS TIP:
Because Proto-Cast sends such a large digital signal on the track, it is important
that your track be clean when you run this feature. If you get popping and distortion while run-
ning Proto-Cast, please clean your track. The large digital signal also means that playing the
audio source too loudly can result in sound distortions; resolve this by turning down the audio
source volume.
Boost/Brake
Tap and hold to temporarily increase or decrease the speed. When released, the engine will
return to the previously set speed.
NOTE:
The Brake button can be held until the engine comes to a stop.
Master Volume Slide
Tap, Hold, and Drag the circle on the slider to set the master sound volume.
To control the volume of individual elements of the sound set (i.e. horn/whistle volume, bell
volume, engine sounds volume, and accent sounds volume), see the “Sound” menu.
