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
