b) Additional sounds, i.e. the whistle, can-
not be called up individually.
2.4 RailCom***:
The decoder in this locomotive comes with
RailCom***, i.e. it does not only receive data
from the control center, but can also return
data to a RailCom*** capable control center.
For more information please refer to the
manual of your RailCom*** capable control
center. For operation at a control center that
does not have RailCom***, we recommend to
disable RailCom*** in the decoder by setting
off CV28 and CV29 (see table in section 5).
3. OPERATING
3.1 Setting
conforming equipment
The Sound decoder is compatible with NMRA/
DCC standards. This means that all parameters,
which are affected by the procedures of the Sound
decoder, are laid out in so-called CV's (Configuration
Variables). The Sound decoder supports a lot of
variables. The sheer quantity of CV's gives the first
clue as to the enormous setting capabilities that the
Sound decoder has to offer.
All CV's are already set to the optimum in your
model, and should only be altered after careful
consideration. In chapter 5 you will find a list of the
parameters that you can alter for yourself. The
setting of the CV's can be undertaken on any
equipment that conforms to the NMRA / DCC
system.
For operation with the TWIN-CENTER 6802, you
will achieve the best sound effects when the
TWIN-CENTER is set to pure DCC mode. With
software version V1.100 of the TWIN-CENTER,
DCC is preset; anyway, during the previous opera-
tion, it might have been altered.
To select DCC-operation, carry out the following
simple steps:
In the basic setting menu for special options:
Set SO25 = 1, SO907 = 4, as well as setting the
loco data format to DCC (14 steps or more) and
re-set the loco data format.
Attention! Resetting the configuration will put it
back into factory setting. If the TWIN-CENTER has
the V1.000 software version, you will get the
"FMZ" data format. From version V1.100, you will
get the "DCC" data format.

3.2 Operation with Motorola* (from 6021)
The base station Control Unit 6021 from Märklin**
is able to transmit the new Motorola* format. This
is absolutely essential for operation with Sound,
because only this new format will support the
functions F1 up to F4. The functions F5 up to F8
can be called up by setting the decoder to also
react to the functions F1 up to F4 of the next hig-
her address (see also chapter 5, CV 112, bit 3). In
this case that next higher address must not be
occupied by another loco!
In order to set the new Motorola* format, the DIP
switches 1 and 2 on the rear of the control unit
6021 should be in the ON position (see also chap-
