Push and release the control knob, then turn the knob until SYSTEM is
displayed. Push the control knob again to select the System Menu. MODE is
the first option on the SYSTEM menu. To change the operating mode, push
and release the control knob, then select the mode setting that best fits your
layout and selected speaker system. If you are using a subwoofer, check its
specifications to determine its capabilities and see the preceding table for
available MODE settings.
Mute Level
The MUTE option controls the behavior of the mute function (F8). Available
settings are described below.
SurroundTraxx Mute Settings
Mode Name Description
0 Local Mute Whenever any dispatched locomotive's mute function is on,
only the sounds for that particular locomotive will be muted.
1 Global Mute All sounds, including other locomotives, are muted whenever
any dispatched locomotive's mute function is on.
Brightness
The BRIGHTNESS option sets the brightness of the LED display to improve
readability under different ambient lighting conditions. Valid settings are 1
(dimmest) to 6 (brightest).
System Messages
The SurroundTraxx display can report three different classes of messages
which generally indicate an event or a change in status. When enabled, these
messages momentarily interrupt the normal System Monitor mode displays
as events occur. They are:
• Control Messages: These report changes in locomotive function state,
speed, direction and CV programming events.
• Zone Manager Messages: These messages report when locomotives
enter or leave a sound zone.
• Auto Dispatcher Messages: Auto Dispatcher Messages report when
locomotives are dispatched or retired.
.
The message filter lets you selectively enable and disable each type of
message, which can be helpful during system setup and operation.
