TROUBLE SHOOTING

1-127 3
The MRC 0001645 N diesel sound decoder should perform well with all DCC
systems. See your DCC system manual to learn how to program and operate the
0-32 0
decoder. For more information about register/CVs and their functions, please
0-32 0
refer to the NMRA DCC Standard & Recommended practices, RP-9.2.2 this is
0-32 0
available directly from the NMRA or their website at www.nmra.org.
0-32 32
Due to the nature of all sound decoders, the CV read back is not 100% correct. So
0-2 0
this feature is not supported in the decoder. This is not a defect of the decoder or
your DCC system.

Whenever the decoder doesn't work please use program track to re-program the
--- 32
loco address or program CV# 125 with value 1 to restore the decoder to factory
--- 143 setting. This should bring the decoder to life.
