I am currently experiencing problems with my DCS  remote control, it was updated to 4.30, sometime during the summer with no issues with regard to adding engines, resets to engines, recognizing the correct engines, reading engines and other systemic problems. One of the issues is that I cannot get out of the Inactive engine section, The remote also occasionally assigns incorrect engines for instance it may assign my Budd car as a Mearsk. Also even though I have an engine on the track the remote will indicate that there are no DCS engines on the track or that it is out of range.  I also cannot get the INA S/U All to work or add an engine. All of these problems are new, everything use to work so easy, any suggestions.

Connect the TIU's Remote input port to the remote with a (curly) telephone handset cable and see if things improve.

 

Consider posting the result on the DCS Forum, instead of here.

 

Question: what were the videos (four all the same) supposed to illustrate?

 

This and a whole lot more is all in MTH’s “The DCS O Gauge Companion 2nd Edition", available for purchase as an eBook or a printed book at MTH's web store!

Maybe tighten up  all your wire connection on the tiu/ terminal strips  etc. DCS doesn't like loose connections.  Adding engines can really get mucked up  if you try and  add with other engines on the track. This is a good example. A programming track or only one engine on the track at a time while adding.  If you only have a few engines and no aiu I would reset the remote, which will delete everything. Add them back one at a time .

 If the  batteries  are  good they should add back with the same ID number.

 

First..As Barry mentioned tether the tiu  and  remote to see if things improve. Have you done a track signal test recently?
