Proto-Sound 2.0 Operating Instructions
This manual contains the operating instructions for Proto-Sound 2.0 in
conventional mode only. Instructions for accessing DCS command mode features
accompany the DCS Remote Control System equipment.
Activating Proto-Sound 2.0 Conventional Mode Features
Proto-Sound 2.0 features are activated by sequences of Bell and Horn button
pushes described below. Please read the full descriptions of each feature before
using it. To use these buttons to activate features rather than to blow the horn or
ring the bell, you should tap the buttons very quickly with a ½-second pause
between button presses. You may need to practice your timing to make this work
smoothly.

Freight Yard Sounds (FYS) or
Passenger Station Announcements (PSA):
Your engine is equipped with a sound package of either freight yard or passenger station
sounds that you can play. Each sequence described below will play as long as it is left
on, randomly generating sounds, but be sure to allow approximately 30 seconds
between the button pushes described below to allow the FYS/PSA sufficient time to
run through each sequence.
To cue the sound system to play the FYS/PSA, quickly but firmly tap the Bell button

once followed by 2 quick taps of the Horn/Whistle button while the engine is moving.
Tap the buttons quickly but allow approximately ½ second between each press.
Press the Direction button once to stop the engine. This will trigger the first sequence

of FYS/PSA. The reverse unit is temporarily disabled so that the train will not move as
you use the Direction button to trigger the sounds, and Proto-Sound 2.0 has disabled
operator control over the Horn/Whistle and Bell buttons until the full FYS/PSA
sequence is complete.
After waiting about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press the Direction button
