Notes
• Even if a PC Card was formatted in a Windows compatible PC,
formatting by the PMD690 is neccessary.
• After recording and erasing a card many times, it is
recommended to format the card so that new recording can be
stored in the optimum way.
• Do not eject the PC Card or turn this unit’s power off while
formatting is in progress.
7 When a card is in the PMD690 that has been
correctly formatted or had all the tracks erased,
the blank card message below will be displayed
in the stop mode.
The blank card message indicates that the card
contains no audio tracks and is ready to be
recorded onto.
Note
• The DISPLAY button can be used to check the amount of
recording time available on the card based on the selected REC
MODE.
Care of PC Cards
Please refer to the documentation included with your PC

Capacity of Files and Card
Due to limitations in the MS-DOS compatable file
structure system, the maximum size of all the recorded
tracks on a card is 1,200MB (MegaBytes) or 1.2GB
(GigaBytes).
The maximum card size that can be read by the PMD690 is
2,150MB (MegaBytes) or 2.15GB (GigaBytes). Cards larger
than 2.15GB may not work correctly in the PMD690.
