I have found a pdf from marklin where they specify in the UPDATE changes for software version 1.3.1 how to program the turntable. I am running 1.3.2 and the instructions do not work ! . I even tried the help on the CS3, but it is still in German . Does anybody have any instructions in English on how to program in the turntable into a CS3. Thank you in advance Tim

Can't you get the drop down menu? Below is a procedure to insert a TT of the documentation above [img=]Turntable in CS3[/img] Sorry if you already have this information. Cheers Jean

Thanks to Alfred (Dampf1999) The second "B" plug in the decoder must absolutely be connected to the digital signal. Even when the control lights are not used. So it may also be your problem if you are using a 7287 decoder Cheers Jean

I then again tried to program the turntable with the CS3. The CS3 seemed to take it then on completion and the pushing of the end button. It seems as though it did not memorize anything, even position one. Now the big question. Can I use my CS2, which linked through the CS3, to program the turntable (the CS2 is able to program the turntable as this is how I programmed it before) or will this create a real balls up ? Reading on the net, it seems I am not the only one with the problem (are you listening marklin ?) what do you think Tim

Once programming is done its only about graphic representation (CS2 and CS3 are very different) and operation (CS2 and CS3 send commands identical to those sent to switches). Note: I drive my Turtable (TT) using Rocrail on my laptop connected to a CS2 through a crossover Ethernet cable. But the CS2 may configure a page for direct access to TT tracks. I also use a Digitalbahn DSD 2010 Decoder. Hope this will help Cheers Jean
