    Introduction
    Thank you for selecting the Marantz Professional
    PMD670 Portable Solid State Recorder. The
    PMD670 is an audio recorder that records in
    digital audio formats onto a Compact Flash™
    memory card (CF card) or Microdrive™.
    Compact flash memory cards, also used in digital
    cameras, are widely available at consumer
    electronics retailers and computer resellers.
    Audio inputs may be from:
    • the built-in microphone,
    • condenser or dynamic microphone(s) con-
    nected to the XLR jacks,
    • line level audio sources connected to the
    LINE IN jacks, or
    • digital audio sources in SP/DIF format con-
    nected to the DIGITAL IN jack.
    Audio outputs may be from:
    • the built-in speaker,
    • headphones connected to the PHONES jack,
    • analog audio devices such as an amplifier or
    other device connected to the LINE OUT
    jacks, and/or
    • digital audio devices using SP/DIF format
    connected to the DIGITAL OUT jack.
    Computer compatible
    The PMD670 records directly onto CF cards.
    Recordings can be transferred to your desktop or
    laptop computer by removing the CF card from
    the PMD670 or by using the supplied cable to
    connect the PMD670 to your computer via the I/O
    port. Audio recorded in the popular MP3 com-
    pression format is directly available for intranet or
    internet file sharing.
    • log and archive audio files
    • play audio files on your computer
    • save audio files to:
    • your hard drive
    • a floppy
    • a CD-R disc
    • post streaming audio files on your web site
    • use software and your computer to transcribe
    digital recordings
    • An editing program (PMD Edit, available from
    Marantz Professional for PC users)  lets youconvert and edit audio files that were recorded
    on the PMD670.
    Voice recording
    The PMD670 has several helpful features for
    voice recording in situations such as meetings,
    conferences or other events.
    • Use less memory (longer recording time)
    For voice recording the recording quality level
    (bit rate recorded and/or sampling frequency)
    can be set to the lowest levels permitting more
    time recorded on the CF card.
    • Easy to use for recording
    One control begins recording. Simply slide and
    release the red REC switch.
    • Security – Input settings
    After you have set up the input settings* for
    your application the settings can be set to ON
    with the INPUT LOCK switch.
    As an added precaution the input setting
    switches (including the ability to change input
    devices) can be protected with the supplied
    screw-on cover preventing unintentional
    changes.
    *Settings for recording meetings for example,
    will usually be the same from meeting to meet-
    ing.
    • Security – CF cards
    For added security the CF card compartment
    door can be secured with a screw. This is
    especially recommended if you transfer audio
    files via the I/O cable.
    Playback aids
    A common problem with lengthy voice or other
    recordings is difficulty in locating one or more
    specific passages for playback. The PMD670 has
    several ways to mark or tag specific record
    starting points.
    • Date and time
    A built-in date and time generator marks the
    beginning of each track. 
    						
    							- 13 -
    • Tracks
    A new track (file) is automatically started each
    time recording is stopped using the STOP
    button.
    • Automatic recording
    The PMD670 can be set to stop recording
    when there is silence (Silent Skip) and auto-
    matically start when sound resumes. The
    PMD670 can be set to automatically add an
    EDL mark to the track at each such starting
    point.
    • EDL marks*
    EDL (Edit Decision List) marks can be created
    during recording manually or automatically.
    EDL marks help you find those specific points
    in the recording.
    *The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz
    Professional solid state recorders.
    • During playback you can search for EDL
    marks in forward or reverse.
    • 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 skipping audio between EDL marks
    or repeating audio between EDL marks.
    • Up to 255 EDL marks can be added to a CF
    card. EDL marks are numbered consecu-
    tively starting at one. During recording you
    can manually add an EDL mark by pressing
    MARK. EDL marks can be added automati-
    cally, for example at the beginning of each
    track.
    • PMD Edit computer software, is specifically
    designed for the PMD670. PMD Edit recog-
    nizes EDL marks generated by the PMD670.
    This is especially useful for editing audio files
    on your PC. For more information visit
    www.marantzpro.com/Products/
    PMDEdit.html.Features

    audio recording)
    • Manual, manual with limiter and automatic
    record level control (ALC).
    • An ANC (Ambient Noise Cancel) switch for
    reducing unwanted background noise.
    • Pre-Recording memory buffer that records 2
    seconds of audio before recording is started.
    • Portions of multiple recordings can be played
    back in sequence using EDL marks.
    • There are four ways to power the PMD670:
    • Included AC  adapter
    • AA Alkaline batteries (~ 6 hours)
    • Optional rechargeable Ni-Cd battery pack
    RB1100 (~ 5 hours).
    • Optional rechargeable Ni-MH battery
    RB1650 (~ 7 hours).
    • Built-in Time and Date generator marks the
    beginning of each track.
    • REMOTE jack permits a wired remote button
    for controlling the recording process.

    was recorded onto both the right and left channels)
    the L setting outputs the audio at a normal level
    while the right is reduced -15dB.
    STEREO: Audio recorded on the Left channel is
    output to the left output channel, and audio re-
    corded on the Right channel is output to the right
    output channel. Both channels are output to the
    internal speaker.
    R: Audio recorded on the Right stereo channel is
    output to both the left and right output channels.
    Factory default: ANALOG OUT switch at STEREO.
    9. MIC ATTEN switch

    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. 
    						
    							ALC is usually not desired when recording music
    (voice or instrument) because the transitions in
    input level may be audible in the recording, and
    can make the recording ‘hissy’ by raising the level
    during quiet passages and recording ambient
    noise.
    The REC LEVEL controls do not work when the
    LEVEL CONT. switch is set at ALC.
    US default: LEVEL CONT. switch at ALC.
    Europe default: LEVEL CONT. switch at

    The INPUT button lets you
    select the audio input and
    audio channels for record-
    ing.
    When the INPUT LOCK switch (a) is at OFF,
    press and release the INPUT button to tab
    through the input choices. When the desired
    input is displayed switch the INPUT LOCK
    switch (a) to ON.
    Example
    display:
    mono      with  INT MIC
    The nine input choices are:
    mono  with INT MIC input
    stereo with LINE input
    mono with LINE input (L only)
    LR mono with LINE input (L + R mix)
    DigiIn (digital input)
    stereo with MIC input
    DLmono with MIC input (dual level mono, L
    only)
    mono with MIC input (L only)
    LRmono with MIC input (L + R mix)Note: The PMD670 'listens' only to the selected
    input. For example if the input selected is
    LRmono with LINE input, and no input source is
    connected to the LINE IN jacks the PMD670 will
    record silence.
    US default: mono with INT MIC input.
    Europe default: stereo with MIC input.
    What the input selections do:
    Selects the input device(s) and channels
    The input selection chooses which input(s) the
    PMD670 is using for recording and how many
    channels are recorded.
    Selects the recording (file) parameters
    The input selection also determines which set of
    algorithm/file parameters are used (stereo file,
    mono file, or digital file).
    Recording (file) parameters:
    stereo (recorded as a stereo file): stereo with
    LINE input, stereo with MIC input, DLmono with
    MIC input.
    mono (recorded as a mono file): mono with INT
    MIC input, mono with LINE input, LR mono with
    LINE input, mono with MIC input, LRmono with
    MIC input.
    digital (recorded as a digital file): DIGITAL IN
    input.
    The default algorithm/file parameters are:
    stereo file: MP2, 48kHz sample frequency,
    128kbps per channel, and file extension .mpg.
    mono file: MP3, 44.1kHz sample frequency,
    32kbps, and file extension .mp3.
    digital file: MP2, 44.1kHz or 48kHz sample
    frequency (dependent on input source rather than
    default or PMD670 menu selection), 128kbps,
    and file extension .mpg.
    Via the Algor/File Menu choice, the algorithm/file
    parameters for stereo, mono or digital files can
    be changed. See Algor/File Menu choice on page
    29.

    custom playback sequences, erasing and renum-
    bering Tracks, and formatting the CF card.
    Custom playback sequences
    EDL Marks are numbered consecutively from 001
    and automatically renumbered when an EDL
    Mark is added or erased. Playback is also con-
    secutive 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.
    Note: EDL Marks are not automatically placed at
    the beginning 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
    PLAY/Pause 
     and then pause playback by
    pressing and releasing PLAY/Pause 
    again.
    b. Press and release TRACK JUMP forward 
    or TRACK JUMP reverse  until the desired
    track number is displayed.

    							Skip
    An EDL Mark changed to 'Skip' will be skipped
    during EDL playback (playback with EDL PLAY
    switch at ON).  Playback will skip to the beginning
    of the next EDL Mark.
    A skipped EDL recording is not erased. The
    recording is still on the CF card. The skipped EDL
    recording will play if the EDL PLAY switch is at
    OFF. You can change the type later.
    EDL A-B looping
    To playback an EDL A-B loop press the PLAY/
    PAUSE button
     to begin playback then press
    and release the A-B REPEAT button.
    If there is an error, for example there is an EDL
    Mark of type Loop_A but no EDL Mark of type
    Loop_B an error message is displayed.
    Only one EDL A-B loop can programmed. When
    a 'Loop_A' or 'Loop_B' exists on a CF card and
    another is created the old mark automatically
    changes to a 'Skip'.
    Erase
    When an EDL mark is erased the remaining EDL
    marks are automatically renumbered from 1
    through the number of EDL marks on the CF
    card.
