Marantz PMD570 - Manual (Page 44)

EDL marks
EDL* (Edit Decision List) marks help you locate
specific points in the recording.
During regular playback EDL marks are silent.
*The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz Professional
solid state recorders.
EDL marks can be created during recording manually
or automatically. EDL marks can also be added during
playback or play pause at any time.
• During stop or play pause you can search for EDL
marks by pushing and holding
SHIFT
and turning
the Jog Wheel.
• 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 skip-
ping audio between EDL marks or repeating audio
between EDL marks. See How to Edit EDL marks
on page 45.
• Up to 255 EDL marks can be added to a CF card.
EDL marks are numbered consecutively starting at
one.
• During recording you can manually add an EDL
mark by pressing and holding the
SHIFT
button
while pressing and releasing the
MARK
button.
• PMDEdit computer software, is specifically
designed for the PMD570 and PMD670. Marantz
Professional's PMDEdit application software
recognizes EDL marks generated by the PMD570.
This is especially useful for editing audio files on
your PC. For more information visit www.d-
mpro.com.
EDL marks are initially entered as 'Point' marks. An
EDL mark can also be a Skip mark, Loop_A mark, or
Loop_B mark.
Skip marks
When EDL Play is at On, playback segments that
begin with a Skip mark are skipped. Although the
skipped segment remains on the CF card it plays back
as if it has been erased.
Loop marks
When EDL Play is at On, when there is a Loop_A and
a Loop_B mark on the CF card, playback repeats
between the A and B marks.

EDL marks and the beginning of a Track
EDL marks are not automatically placed at the begin-
ning of tracks. If you want your custom playback
sequence to include track beginning points add EDL
Marks to coincide with track beginning points by:
a. Start playback by pressing and releasing the Play/
Pause button and then pause playback by
pressing and releasing the Play/Pause button
again.
b. Push and release Track jump forward or Track
jump reverse until the desired track number is
displayed and TRACK TIME is 000:00:00 .
c. Push and hold
SHIFT
while you push and release
the
MARK
button.
Custom playback sequences
EDL Marks are numbered consecutively from 001
and automatically renumbered when an EDL Mark is
added or erased. Playback is also consecutive from the
point that playback begins.
EDL Mark custom playback can:
Skip playback from the beginning of a 'Skip' EDL
Mark to the beginning of the next EDL Mark.
A-B loop from a 'Loop_A' EDL Mark to a 'Loop_B'
EDL Mark.
