HD-P2 Screens and Menus
Change/New Project
By default the HD-P2 automatically makes the first 
project whenever new media is used. To make addi-
tional projects, or switch between projects, use the 
Change/New Project menu from the Main menu.
In Figure 18 the menu shows the currently loaded 
project (Project 09) and any other projects on this 
Compact Flash card. If you select a non-loaded proj-
ect, like Project 02, the sub-menu provides the choices 
of 
Loading
 the project or 
Deleting
. Deleting a project 
permanently removes all audio files and settings and 
cannot be undone.
Figure 18 - Change or New Project Screen
If you select Create New Project you are prompted 
to choose a Project Template as in Figure 19. The 
Default Template is based on the Default Project 
Settings in the System Menu. There may also be a list 
of templates that you have saved from other projects, 
like the file Proj0900 shown in Figure 19.
