Presets in the 8200

There are three distinct kinds of presets in the 8200: Factory Processing Presets, Factory
Test Presets, and User Presets.

Factory Processing Presets (including Factory Programming Presets)

Factory Processing Presets are various "factory recommended settings" for each processing
structure. They are indicated on the RECALL PRESET list on the 8200 by a two-letter
designation followed by a description, such as "AA PROTECTION 0dB" or "DB 5B-
MEDIUM SLOW." The description indicates the processing structure and the type of
processing.
Each Factory Processing Preset on the RECALL PRESET list is really a library of 20
separate presets, selected using the MODIFY LESS-MORE control to adjust the 8200 for
more or less processing.
Factory Processing Presets are stored in the 8200's non-volatile memory, and cannot be
erased. You can change the settings of a Factory Processing Preset, but you must then store
those settings as a User Preset, which you are free to name as you wish. The factory preset
remains unchanged.
Factory Programming Presets are our "factory recommended settings" for various program
formats or types. They are indicated on the RECALL PRESET list on the 8200 by a
two-letter designation (beginning with the letter F) followed by a format description, such
as "FA CLASSICAL" or "FO TALK." Each Factory Programming Preset is a Factory
Processing Preset set to the LESS-MORE setting that is likely to be appropriate for that
program format.
