Preset defaults
The default Menu settings for Presets 1, 2 and 3 can
be restored by the Default Menu choice, page 39.
Preset1 default uses the unbalanced (ANALOG IN
RCA jacks), line level, inputs. It is set for stereo
channel music recording with MP3 compression.
Selecting a higher bit rate (kbps) will improve audio
quality but decrease available recording time.
Preset2 default uses the unbalanced (ANALOG IN
RCA jacks), line level, inputs. It is set for Mono
channel recording with MP3 compression. The
settings are appropriate for recording meetings:
quality acceptable for voice recording, long recording
times possible, and capability to transfer files on
internet.
Preset3 default uses the balanced (BALANCED IN
XLR jacks) inputs. It is set for stereo channel CD
quality recording with no compression.
See chart below on page 24 for complete default
settings.
Note:
Setting any preset to default resets the main clock. We
recommend you set the date when you set a preset to
default. See page 26.

• The PMD570 records only from the selected
input. For example if the input selected Bal.In and
no input source is connected to the XLR jacks the
PMD570 will record silence. Watch the level
meters while in record pause, if the level stays at
one display bar check for the proper input selec-
tion.
