• 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
