• Tracks
• A new track (file) is automatically started each
time you begin a recording.
• It is not possible to record over a previously
recorded track unless it is first erased.
• An Auto Track feature can add tracks every
minute or other selectable recording interval.
(Minute track: Setting the interval to one
minute provides a new track every minute of a
recording, permitting navigating a large audio
recording by time.)
• A new track can be started during recording by
pressing the Record button. (Manual TR,
Manual Track incrementing, On.)
EDL marks
EDL marks are silent during playback but locatable.
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 instantly locate EDL
marks.
• 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.
• EDL marks are specific to the CF card, not to
Tracks. That lets you create custom playback
sequences across Tracks.
• 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 pushing and holding
SHIFT
while you push the
MARK
button.
• EDL marks can also be added automatically.
• Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application
software, is specifically designed by Marantz.
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
