Press the SELECT key 6. Use the DATA wheel to scroll to the desired setting to change 7. Press the SELECT key, change the setting, press the SELECT key again 8. Repeat Step 7 for all desired settings NOTE All newly created projects will use these settings unless a user defined project template is used. Set Up Project Templates 1. Press the MENU key 2. Use the DATA wheel to scroll to Project Menu 3. Press the SELECT key 4. Use the DATA wheel to scroll to Save as Project Template 5. Press the SELECT key 6. Name your project template and Save NOTE • This will save the system settings (excluding recorded audio and markers) of the currently loaded project as a project template. • A list of currently available project templates is available under the System Menu where they can be renamed or deleted. 2 Input Settings This is a two part operation consisting of top panel switch settings and menu settings. Top Panel • Set the LEFT INPUT and RIGHT INPUT switches to LINE or MIC. When set to LINE, the HD-P2 accepts analog input from the appropriate RCA jack. When set to MIC, the HD-P2 accepts analog input from the appropriate XLR jack. Note that one side (Left or Right) can accept input from only one analog source at a time. These settings for Left and Right are independent of each other. • Set the MIC switch to INT to use the built-in mono microphone or EXT to use microphones connected to the XLR inputs. • Enable PHANTOM if microphones are connected to the XLR inputs that require phantom power. • Enable the LEFT and/or RIGHT -20dB PAD if recording from a particularly loud source. This is only for the XLR inputs. • Enable LOW CUT if there is undesirable low frequency energy present such as traffic or air conditioning rumble. This introduces an analog filter at 100Hz. • Enable LIMTER to protect against unexpected transients from overloading the D/A converters. The STEREO LINK switch, when enabled, causes the limiter to engage on both channels when only one channel receives loud input. Otherwise loud input on one channel will not trigger the limiter on the other channel. Menus The Left/Right input source can be selected between Analog and S/PDIF. This setting cannot be made independently for the Left & Right channels. There are two places where this setting can be selected: 1. Within the currently loaded project's Settings menu:

Set the
MIC
switch to
INT
to use the built-in
mono microphone or

if microphones are
connected to the XLR inputs that require
phantom power.
Enable the
