Overview
Congratulaons on the purchase of
your Bachmann locomove with digital
sound installed. This state-of-the-art
Digital Sound Decoder incorporates
WOWSound Digital Sound Technology
and will provide true CD-Quality audio,
realisc operaonal performance, and
the benets of DCC (Digital Command
Control) technology.
This Quick Start Guide assumes that
you have some understanding of, or
experience with, other “prototype”
trains and TCS’ decoders. It covers the
dierences you may need to know
between these decoders and any you
may have previously used.
If you are new to WOWSound you
should start by vising the TCS website
at www.tcsdcc.com to review the
WOWSound comprehensive guide as
well as watching the video tutorials
provided.
For most DCC operaons of the
locomove (selecng new sounds,
adjusng volumes, remapping or
changing lighng eects, etc.), it’s
easiest to use Audio Assist® (accessed by
pressing funcon buon 8 four mes in
quick succession while you are operang
your locomove in DCC mode). From
there the decoder will take over, talk to
you, and explain how to perform the
various conguraon acons available.
Features
With WOWSound decoders you
know you are geng the real
sounds of locomoves carefully
recorded, preserved, and played back
without distoron or manipulaon.
WOWSound’s signature CD-Quality
audio provides modelers with the closest
experience to standing track side.

Programming Your Locomotive:
Address Programming:
The default address of all DCC decoders
is 3, so you can start by placing the
locomove on the rails and selecng
address 3 on your command staon.
To change the address to another
number less than 126 (99 for some
Command Staons), place the
locomove on the programming track
and following your command staon
instrucons for programming CV 1 to
your chosen address below 126.
For addresses higher than 126, use your
command staon’s instrucons for “long
address” programming.
Bachmann E-Z Command®:
For Bachmann’s E-Z Command® system,
simply follow your command station
instructions for programming the address
(programming track not required).
Conguring with Audio Assist:
With your locomove addressed and
responding on the DCC mainline, press
funcon buon 8 four mes rapidly to
enter Audio Assist. Audio Assist will then
guide you through conguring a wide
array of features.
Resetting Your Locomotive:
To reset your locomotive to factory
default settings you can program CV8=2
or (while operating on DCC) through
Audio Assist.
From the Audio Assist Main Menu the
button presses, in order, for a full factory
reset are:
Button 4 Button 3 Button 2
Running Your New Train:
Your new locomove is pre-congured
with all of the sengs best suited to
replicate the prototype. This means you
can place your engine on the track and
immediately start running with either
a DCC command staon or a 12v DC
power pack.
DC Operation:
Using a standard DC power pack
supporng up to 24v, your WOWSound-
equipped locomove will come to life
as soon as you place it on the track and
ramp up the power to 7.5v and above.
In DC operaon the sound and light
operaons will automacally operate
based on the direcon of travel and the
amount of power applied at the throle.
DCC Operation:
With your locomove address selected,
you can begin moving the locomove
with the throle control, and controlling
the light and sound funcons with the
funcon buons.
Buon mappings for triggering light,
sound, and motor responses will operate
a lile dierently depending on whether
the locomove prototype is Diesel,
Steam, or Electric.
