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.
