EDL marks
EDL* (Edit Decision List) marks help you locate specific points in the recording.
During regular playback EDL marks are silent.
*The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz Professional solid state recorders.
EDL marks can be created during recording manually or automatically. EDL marks can also be added during playback or play pause at any time.

•PMDEdit computer software, is specifically designed for the PMD570 and PMD670. Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application software recognizes EDL marks generated by the PMD570. This is especially useful for editing audio files on your PC. For more information visit www.d- mpro.com.
EDL marks are initially entered as 'Point' marks. An EDL mark can also be a Skip mark, Loop_A mark, or Loop_B mark.
Skip marks
When EDL Play is at On, playback segments that begin with a Skip mark are skipped. Although the skipped segment remains on the CF card it plays back as if it has been erased.
Loop marks
When EDL Play is at On, when there is a Loop_A and a Loop_B mark on the CF card, playback repeats between the A and B marks.
EDL marks and the beginning of a Track
EDL marks are not automatically placed at the begin- ning of tracks. If you want your custom playback sequence to include track beginning points add EDL Marks to coincide with track beginning points by:
a.Start playback by pressing and releasing the Play/
Pause button 
and then pause playback by pressing and releasing the Play/Pause button 
again.
b.Push and release Track jump forward 
or Track jump reverse 
until the desired track number is displayed and TRACK TIME is 000:00:00 .
c.Push and hold SHIFT while you push and release the MARK button.
Custom playback sequences
EDL Marks are numbered consecutively from 001 and automatically renumbered when an EDL Mark is added or erased. Playback is also consecutive from the point that playback begins.
EDL Mark custom playback can:
Skip playback from the beginning of a 'Skip' EDL Mark to the beginning of the next EDL Mark.
