Recording Operation
Basic Procedure
1. Make sure all input selection and record settings
are made correctly.
2. Press the RECORD/MARK button to enter the
Record-Pause mode. The input signal will now
appear in the level meter of the display and the
REC LED and REC indicator in the display will
flash.
3. If the REC LEVEL switch is set to MANUAL or
LIMITER, the REC LEVEL knob will be active
and allow you make adjustments to the
recording level based on the input source. Refer
to page 14 for information on setting the
recording level.
4. When ready to record, press the RECORD/
MARK button to start recording. The REC LED
and REC indicator in the display will stay
steadily on and the current track number will
quickly alternate with the next EDL mark
number, showing that an EDL mark was placed
at the beginning of the track.
Note
• Pressing the REC/MARK button during recording will add an
EDL mark at the point that the button was pressed.
5. To stop recording but then continue to record to
the current track, recording must be paused and
not stopped. Press the PLAY/PAUSE button to
enter the record-pause mode and then press
REC/MARK to resume recording.
6. When ready to stop recording and complete the
current track, press the STOP button. The TOC
will be updated and the unit will enter the stop
mode.
Notes
• All record settings can be changed during recording except the
REC MODE. If the REC MODE is changed during recording,
the new setting takes effect for the next track.
• If the Auto Mark feature is active during recording, every time
a track is paused an EDL mark is added.
• The REC LED will dim when the Limiter is heavily limiting the
input signal.
• The minimum length of a track is 0.5 seconds. A track of less
than 0.5 seconds will not be recorded on the card.
Rec Cancel
The Rec Cancel function allows a recording that is in
progress to be started over in case there is a problem or
the information recorded so far is not what was intended.
Performing this function will result in all the information
recorded up to that point in the track to be discarded.
After performing the function, the unit will re-start at the
beginning of the current track and wait for recording to be
started again.
1. While recording press the 1/4 (REC
CANCEL) button.
The "can" message will flash as follows in the
display.
2. Press 1/4 (REC CANCEL) again within 3
seconds to perform the Rec Cancel function.
3. The PMD690 will discard the recording on the
current track and re-enters the record-pause
mode at the beginning of the track.
4. If the 1/4 button is not pressed within 3
seconds while the "can" message is flashing,
recording will contonue as normal.
Note
• Recording will continue while the "can" message is flashing.
