Tracks are numbered from 01 to a maximum of 999.

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

Using the "Auto TRK" feature, PMD671 can be set to start a new track at specific time intervals during recording (for example every minute).

Using the "Manual TR" feature, you can start a new track during recording by sliding and releasing the REC switch.

•Automatic recording

The PMD671 can be set to stop recording when there is silence (SilentSkp feature) and auto- matically start when sound resumes. The PMD671 can be set to automatically add an EDL mark (Auto Mark feature) 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 option allows you to create custom playback sequences which include skipping or repeating audio between EDL marks.

•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 pressing MARK. EDL marks can be added automati- cally, for example, at the beginning of each track.

•PMDEdit computer software is specifically designed for the PMD671. PMDEdit recog- nizes EDL marks generated by the PMD671. This is especially useful for editing audio files on your PC. Visit www.d-mpro.com for more information.
