I just bought a brand new DCS system because my original from the very first run was becoming troublesome. The new is supposed to be the latest and greatest version rev.l and 4.20. I have followed the MTH instructions to a tee and cant get the custom sounds to record.

 I am using the mic on the remote. At best,when I start recording the sounds on the engine go off til I hit the stop button. I can even get it to the point of naming the sound. Then when I hit play to hear the sound, the engine goes silent and there is no custom sound. So what am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated

I have also been having trouble with lockup of the handheld while trying to get the custom sounds to work. I was successful getting 1 sound to work,but seem to have lost that custom sound now. It still shows on the display,but when I hit PLAY, I just get static.

 I thought MTH had all these issues fixed with the revL 4.20. My dealer said this is the latest and greatest from MTH.

 If I am using the MIC on the handheld, do I need to press the MIC button while making my custom sound or is the MIC activated by pressing the REC button?

 I only have the 1st edition of Barry's book.

Custom Sounds has not changed at all between the writing of the 1st and 2nd editions of The DCS O Gauge Companion. However, there are three things of which to be aware when using the Mic button on the remote for any purpose at all.

 

First, when the Mic button is depressed, all remotes become unable to issue commands for the duration of the button press.

 

Second, sometimes the remote button can appear to become "stuck"  terminate the acceptance of sound. In this case, typically just a quick press and release puts things right.

 

Third, it often is necessary to get the microphone right "in your mouth" in order for your voice to be pocked up.
