11. ANC switch
The ANC (Ambient Noise
Cancel) switch lets you
choose to reduce ambi-
ent noise before recording on the internal micro-
phone or MIC inputs.
Ambient Noise Cancel positions do not change
the memory used in recording. Examples of low
ambient noise sources include: traffic, air condi-
tioning hum, and wind noise.
Band pass position reduces the lows
and highs and passes (records) the center (voice
level) audio frequencies. This reduces the re-
cording of high and low frequency ambient noise.
FLAT: No filtering applied.
High pass position reduces low fre-
quency ambient noise only.
US default: ANC switch at Band pass .
Europe default: ANC switch at FLAT.
2. EDL PLAY switch
The EDL PLAY switch
turns EDL PLAY off or on.
OFF: When the EDL PLAY switch is at OFF
PMD670 playback does not respond to EDL
mark instructions.
ON: When EDL PLAY is ON PMD670 playback
follows EDL mark instructions regarding play-
back order, skipping sections of recording on the
memory card, or repeating a section of recording
on the memory card.
Note: If the EDL PLAY switch is at ON and there
are no EDL marks on the CF card (recording
was done with the AUTO MARK switch at OFF)
playback is not available. Switch to OFF for
playback.
Factory default: EDL PLAY switch at OFF.
13. LEVEL CONT. switch
The LEVEL CONT(rol)
switch lets you select the
type of input level control.
MANUAL: At MANUAL you control the input level
with the REC LEVEL controls.
LIMITER: At LIMITER peak sound levels that
would distort the recording are limited.
ALC: At ALC (Automatic Level Control = Auto-
matic Gain Control) the PMD670 automatically
responds to changes in input level. If recording is
quiet the input level is increased. If recording is
loud the input level is decreased. This is a desir-
able feature when recording a meeting with several
speakers, because a speaker close to the micro-
phone and/or with a loud voice will be automati-
cally recorded at a reduced level and a quiet
speaker will be recorded at an increased level and
is less likely to have their input missed.
