Silent Skip.
Silent skip automatically pauses recording when
there is a period of silence and continues record-
ing when sound resumes. Silent Skip looks for
sound below a preset level for a preset period of
time. When that occurs the PMD670 switches to
record pause. When a signal of about -30 dB is
input recording resumes.
For example, if you are both the recorder and
master of ceremonies for an event, you can
preset the PMD670 for recording and automati-
cally start recording...

Auto Cue
Auto Cue skips the silence at the beginning of an
audio track and pauses playback at the point
where the sound is loud enough for long enough.
You can adjust how loud (how many dB) and how
long (milliseconds) the audio has to be before
playback is cued.
If S.Play is selected (see next page), when the
end of the track is reached Auto Cue pauses
playback cued to the sound of the next track.
Default settings are Off, 20 milliseconds, and -40
dB.
