• 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 (PMDEdit, available from
Marantz Professional for PC users) lets you
convert and edit audio files that were recorded
on the PMD671.
Presets
The PMD671 has three selectable Presets for
commonly used recording situations.
Preset 1, MP3 Stereo using your microphones,
for recording with relatively small files.
Preset 2, MP3 Mono using the internal micro-
phone, for recording meetings or voice with very
small files.
Preset 3, PCM Stereo using your microphones,
for very high quality audio recording.
• Security – recording
The PMD671 has several security features, not
previously available on Marantz Professional
digital recorders, that confirm recording is
accurately written to the CF card.
• Verify
Verify is electronic file verification. When
turned on in the Preset menu, Verify runs a
check between the audio at the source and
information written to the CF card.
• RAW
RAW (Read After Write / VTH - Virtual Third
Head) digitally mimics the third head of a
three head tape deck. While recording, audio
at the PMD671's outputs is audio that has
already been written to the CF card. With
about a 2 second delay, you can listen to the
audio written to the CF card, monitoring that
recording is actually taking place.
• Time Shift Playback
Time Shift Playback allows you to listen to
audio from anywhere on the CF card while
simultaneously recording the current source.
Note:
These recording security features are not available when
making 24 bit recordings. Simultaneous availability depends
on recording conditions. See page 14.
• 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 USB cable.
• 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 meeting.
Voice recording
The PMD671 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. This permits
more time recorded on the CF card.
• Easy recording
One control begins recording. Simply slide and
release the red REC switch.
Playback aids
A common problem with lengthy voice or other
recordings is difficulty in locating one or more
specific passages for playback. The PMD671
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.
• Tracks
An audio recording is called a "track" when on
the PMD671 and an audio "file" when on your
computer.
