Understanding PC Cards
The PMD690 records digital audio directly to PCMCIA
and ATA compatable PC Cards. The PC Card storage
system allows direct plug-and-play compatibility with
conputers equipped with a PC Card slot.
PC Cards come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The
PMD690 is compatible with all types as long as they are
PCMCIA compatible (flash memory and hard disk cards).
Even though most PCMCIA compatible PC Card can be
read by the PMD690, only certain types of cards can
sustain the record speeds required. Therefore, only cards
tested and approved by Marantz Professional should be
used with the PMD690.
The recommended card list for the PMD690 can be found
on the Marantz Professional website at
www.marantz.com.
Inserting a Card
Push the PC Card into the PMD690 as follows.
Note
• Make sure the card is inserted with the correct side facing up.
Ejecting a Card
Push the EJECT button as indicated to eject the PC Card
from the PMD690.
Notes
• The EJECT button is mechanical and ejects the PC Card
regardless of the unit’s power or operating status.
Do not press EJECT while recording (when the REC indicator
is lit). Though a secure file storage scheme is used, this may
result in the loss of all data on the PC Card.
• Also do not eject the card when the unit is checking the card
("CHE card" display) or when the TOC is being read ("toc"
display).
Formatting a PC Card
Before using a PC Card for the first time, perform the
following operations to format the PC Card so that it can
be used to record audio. This operation completely erases
any information stored on the card. Be sure to backup any
important information before formatting.
Note
You can also use this operation to completely erase a previously
used PC Card containing audio data you no longer need.
