Marantz PMD670 manual Tracks, Automatic recording, EDL marks, Features

•Tracks

A new track (file) is automatically started each time recording is stopped using the STOP button.

•Automatic recording

The PMD670 can be set to stop recording when there is silence (Silent Skip) and auto- matically start when sound resumes. The PMD670 can be set to automatically add an EDL mark to the track at each such starting point.

•EDL marks*

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 search for EDL marks in forward or reverse.

•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.

•Up to 255 EDL marks can be added to a CF card. EDL marks are numbered consecu- tively starting at one. During recording you can manually add an EDL mark by pressing MARK. EDL marks can be added automati- cally, for example at the beginning of each track.

•PMD Edit computer software, is specifically designed for the PMD670. PMD Edit recog- nizes EDL marks generated by the PMD670. This is especially useful for editing audio files on your PC. For more information visit www.marantzpro.com/Products/ PMDEdit.html.
