Once again JMRI / DecoderPro comes to the rescue!
For one-stop CV shopping, no matter which brand of decoder, see:

The National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) established the basic CV listing that all decoder manufacturers were asked to comply with long before sound was even thought possible, and many of their CVs are listed as "Manufacturer Specific" or "Reserved for Future Use."
Decoder manufacturers are not required to conform to the NMRA standards, and some of them don't.
You can get the NMRA's "recommended" CV listing from their web site. Other CVs are going to be manufacturer specific and will have to be downloaded from each manufacturer's web site.
I would go straight to the manufacturers' web sites. There are a lot of differences between decoders. Some, like the NMRA standards, are common to most decoders, but some manufacturers don't even follow those rules strictly.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
One place to start would be the NMRA standards: http://www.nmra.org/standards/DCC/standards_rps/RP-9.2.2%202007%20July.pdf. There are also some CVs that are decoder manufacturer specific and these can be found in the documentation provided by the manufacturer.
