Silent Skip.

Silent skip automatically pauses recording when there is a period of silence and continues record- ing when sound resumes. Silent Skip looks for sound below a preset level for a preset period of time. When that occurs the PMD670 switches to record pause. When a signal of about -30 dB is input recording resumes.

For example, if you are both the recorder and master of ceremonies for an event, you can preset the PMD670 for recording and automati- cally start recording when you start speaking into the microphone.

When the AUTO MARK switch is at ON resump- tion of recording after a record pause by Silent Skip adds an EDL mark.

Default settings are Off, 03 seconds, and -40 dB.
