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.

If this is your first decoder installation, this

Installation Guide will give you

step-by-step instructions for a successful first installation. The

User’s Guide

will walk you through the various aspects of programming your Tsunami

decoder, as well as some tips on troubleshooting. Once you’ve had some

experience using and programming your decoder, the Tsunami

Technical

Reference will provide a list of all the CVs available for use with Tsunami

decoders. This reference also explains their exact function and make-up for

those who wish to have a complete reference for advanced programming

techniques.

Technical bulletins covering various topics are also published from time to

time, and these, along with the

Technical Reference may be downloaded

free of charge from our website at www.soundtraxx.com.
