All Aboard!
Overview
Congratulations on the purchase of your SoundTraxx™ Tsunami™ Digital
Sound Decoder™. Properly installed, your Digital Sound Decoder (DSD)
will provide all the pleasures of high quality, digital onboard sound and
the benefits of today’s DCC (Digital Command Control) technology. With
the proper tools, basic modeling skills and common sense, equipping a
locomotive with sound is not difficult. It may, however, be a new experience
for you, and you will find that successive installations will go more quickly
than the first. Please note that while each decoder is tested thoroughly
before it is shipped, we cannot control the correctness or quality of the
installation. It is imperative that you follow the directions, and never remove
the protective heat shrink from the decoder; there are no adjustments or user
serviceable parts and this will void your warranty.
This Quick Start Guide assumes that you have some understanding of or
experience with other SoundTraxx Digital Sound Decoders. It covers the
differences you may need to know between these decoders and any you
may have previously used.
If you are new to SoundTraxx Digital Sound Decoders, you should start with
the Installation Guide, which will give you step-by-step instructions for a
successful first installaton. The User’s Guide will walk you through the
various aspects of programming your Tsunami decoder, as well as some tips
on troubleshooting. For the power user, the Tsunami Technical Reference
will provide a list of all the CVs available for use with Tsunami decoders and
their exact function and make-up for those who wish to have a complete
reference for advanced programming techniques.
Technical Bulletins and Application Notes covering various topics are also
published from time to time, and these may be downloaded free of charge
from our website at www.soundtraxx.com.
