You should not have to press F8 to start them up. If so, follow the instructions for switching the F8 operation so they start with track power on the IM ESU Decoder Tips page: http://intermountain-railway.com/customerservice/dccwebpage/ESU-FAQ-Page.html.
You can also program your Tsunami decoders to start only when they are addressed and moved but it isn't quite as nice as the LokSound decoder with F8. You just have to decide if you would rather the units start with track power or by pressing F8. If you don't care, then it is easiest to change the LokSound decoder so that F8 does not have to be pressed to start the unit. Also make sure that F8 is turned off in your DCC throttle for the addresses of these two units. If you leave it on when you turn the system on, pressing another function key can activate F8.
