Proto-Cast and Proto-Dispatch:
When used with the remote lock-on included in this set, Loco-Sound-equipped engines
™
™
gain Proto-Cast and Proto-Dispatch features
.
Proto-Cast:
Allows you to play audio recordings through your engine's speakers.
You must supply the audio source (a small portable CD/tape player is
sufficient) and a male-to-male mini cable (1/8" plug, like that used for
the headset with a portable CD/tape player) to connect your audio
source to the remote lock-on.
To use Proto-Cast
!
Plug the mini-cable
first
into your audio source (usually into the headphone jack)
!
Plug Cable into the "Audio" port on the right side of the remote lock-on.
!
Adjust the volume. If engine sounds keep breaking through the recorded sounds,
increase the volume on the audio source.
Proto-Dispatch:
This feature allows you to broadcast your own voice through your
engine's speakers. You must supply the microphone and a mini cable
(1/8” plug, like that used for the headset with a portable CD/tape
player) to connect your microphone to the remote lock-on.
To use Proto-Dispatch
!
Mini-cable attached to the microphone must be an 1/8” plug.
!
Plug the ”Mic" into the proto-dispatch port on the left side of the remote lock-on and
speak into the microphone.
When these features are in use, the locomotive's own sounds (engine sounds and bells,
whistles, and horns) will be muted so that only the sounds you broadcast will be heard.
Because these two features are voice activated, there will be a several second delay after
you stop speaking into the microphone or turn off the audio source before the engine
sounds resume. To stop using the feature and return to normal operation, unplug the cable
from the lock-on jack.
