•Tracks

•A new track (file) is automatically started each time you begin a recording.

•It is not possible to record over a previously recorded track unless it is first erased.

•An Auto Track feature can add tracks every minute or other selectable recording interval. (Minute track: Setting the interval to one minute provides a new track every minute of a recording, permitting navigating a large audio recording by time.)

•A new track can be started during recording by pressing the Record button. (Manual TR, Manual Track incrementing, On.)

EDL marks

EDL marks are silent during playback but locatable.

EDL (Edit Decision List) marks can be created during recording manually or automatically. EDL marks help you find those specific points in the recording.

*The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz Professional solid state recorders.

•During playback you can instantly locate EDL marks.

•You can change an EDL mark into a skip mark or an A-B repeating point. That lets you create custom playback sequences which include skipping audio between EDL marks or repeating audio between EDL marks.

•EDL marks are specific to the CF card, not to Tracks. That lets you create custom playback sequences across Tracks.

•Up to 255 EDL marks can be added to a CF card. EDL marks are numbered consecutively starting at one.

•During recording you can manually add an EDL mark by pushing and holding SHIFT

while you push the MARK button.

• EDL marks can also be added automatically.

•Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application software, is specifically designed by Marantz. 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.
