INTRODUCTION ORBAN MODEL 9400
There are two sets of presets: one for the analog AM processing and one for the
digital radio processing (HD). The preset for the analog AM processing is the master
preset. In addition to parameters specific to the AM analog processing, it contains
the AGC and stereo enhancer parameters, which are common to both the AM ana-
log and digital radio processing chains. Additionally, it points to an associated HD
preset, which contains only the parameters exclusive to the digital radio processing
chain.
User Presets
User Presets permit you to change a Factory Preset to suit your requirements and
then store those changes.
You can store more than 100 User Presets, limited only by available memory in your
9400 (which will vary depending on the version of your 9400’s software). You can
give your preset a name up to 18 characters long.
User Presets cannot be created from scratch. You must always start by recalling a
Factory Preset. Make the changes, and then store your modified preset as a User
Preset. You can also recall a previously created user preset, modify it, and save it
again, either overwriting the old version or saving under a new name. In all cases,
the original Factory Preset remains for you to return to if you wish.
Unlike Factory Presets, User Presets contain parameters for both the AM analog and
digital radio (“HD”) processing. A preset, whether Factory or User, can be edited in
two ways to create a new User Preset. First, you can adjust any individual parameter
in both the AM analog or HD sections of the preset. Second, you can bulk-import all
of the HD parameters contained in any User Preset or Factory HD Preset.
When you edit a preset by bulk-importing HD parameters like this, they will over-
write the existing HD parameters in your edited preset, including any that you have
might have adjusted before you imported. HD parameters only include controls in
the HD processing chain after it splits from the AM processing chain, so bulk-
importing HD parameters will not change the AGC and Stereo Enhancer settings.
After importing the HD parameters, you are still free to adjust any individual AM or
HD parameter. When you are satisfied with your work, you can then save this com-
bination of AM and HD parameters as a new User Preset. Of course, you can then
use your new User Preset as a source for HD parameters to be imported into any
other User Presets you may wish to create or edit. For example, you could have six
User Presets with identical HD processing parameters but with different AM analog
processing parameters. The HD bulk import feature makes it easy to implement this
scenario.
User Presets are stored in non-volatile memory that does not require battery
backup.
