Edit functions: editing EDL Marks to create custom playback sequences, erasing and renumbering Tracks, and formatting the CF card.

Custom playback sequences

EDL Marks are numbered consecutively from

001and 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.

A-B loop from a 'Loop_A' EDL Mark to a 'Loop_B' EDL Mark.

EDL Marks are not automatically placed at the beginning of tracks. If you want your custom playback sequence to include track beginning points, add EDL Marks to coincide with track beginning points:

a.Start playback by pressing and releasing

PLAY/Pause , and then pause playback by pressing and releasing PLAY/Pause again.

b.Press and release TRACK JUMP forward

or TRACK JUMP reverse until the de- sired track number is displayed.

c.Press and release the MARK/ EDIT button.

Editing EDL Marks:

All EDL Marks are initially entered as 'Point' marks.

From Stop display the EDL Mark by pressing and releasing the Mark forward button (18) or Mark reverse button (16) to tab through the EDL marks on the CF card.

When the EDL mark to be edited is displayed, press and release the MARK/ EDIT button. The current EDL Mark type will be flashing.

Writing will be displayed briefly, and the PMD671 will return to stop mode.

Skip

An EDL Mark changed to 'Skip' will be skipped during EDL playback (playback with EDL PLAY switch at ON). Playback will skip to the beginning of the next EDL Mark.

A skipped EDL recording is not erased. The recording is still on the CF card. The skipped EDL recording will play if the EDL PLAY switch is at OFF. You can change the type later.

EDL A-B looping

To playback an EDL A-B loop, press the PLAY/

PAUSE button to begin playback, then press

and release the A-B REPEAT button.

If there is an error, for example there is an EDL Mark of type Loop_A but no EDL Mark of type Loop_B, an error message is displayed.

When an EDL mark is erased, the remaining EDL marks are automatically renumbered from 1 through the number of EDL marks on the CF card.
