11.4. Setting the Preset Memory Recalled When Power Is Turned On Select "Memory Power ON Last Memory/Memory (1 – 32)" from the menu. When selecting "Last Memory," the unit activates with the settings stored in the last recalled preset memory number before the power was turned off.

12. GLOSSARY • Auto-Leveler function The auto-leveler function performs to keep the output level constant by suppressing the change of sound volume. Setting the target level (the constant level to be automatically adjusted to) and the maximum gain (the amount of gain to bring the lower level to the target level) automatically compensates for the input level. Note that setting an excessive amount of gain increases the input sensitivity, easily causing feedback.
• Preset memory Set parameters can be stored in preset memory 1 – 32.
13. SETTING DATA SAMPLES Setting data samples are contained in the CD supplied with the D-2008SP as files "Gymnasium.d8t," "Hall.d8t," and "Changesafe. d8t." Providing the simple setting examples (data samples) intends to help you make the on-site system design using the D-2000 Setting Software. Each data sample is created for the system on the assumption of imaginary facility.
