NOTE: The default values on sound decoders are overwritten by the loaded sound project. The program ZSP (ZIMO Sound Programmer), however, provides the here defined default values, in case the values set by the sound project are not wanted. In the course of updates, differences between ZSP and the default values given here can occur. - Page 21 Decoders are usually delivered with default address 3 (CV #1 = 3), for DCC as well as the MM - the digital system (common practice with ZIMO systems, without changing any CVs of the decoder) or (Märklin Motorola) format. With this address the decoder is fully functional but it is recommended to - by programming the following decoder CVs individually, or change to a different address as soon as possible.
