power is still on the track after shut down.

PROTOCAST (8):
To activate this feature, you must first
onnect an audio source to the DCS system.
1. Plug a male-to-male mini cable (1/8”
plug, like that used for the headset with a
portable CD/tape player or M.T.H. Item
No. 50-1009) first into the Proto-Cast port
of the TIU, then plug the other end of the
cable into your audio source’s headphone
jack or line-out jack.
2. Play the recording according to the audio
source’s instructions.
3. Press the “PROTOCAST” button to
play the recording through your engine.
When the Proto-Cast feature is enabled,
your regular engine sounds are silenced so
that the recording may be heard clearly. A
(C) appears on the LCD to indicate that
Proto-Cast is in use.
4. Press the button again to stop the feature
and return to normal engine sounds.
