How to check a CF card (CARD CHECK)
Although rare, manufacturing defects in CF cards
occasionally prevent a CF card from being able
to read and write at the speeds required by the
PMD671. CARD CHECK does a sample read/
write to check if a CF card has problems. If a
CARD CHECK fails, you can usually return the
CF card for a replacement.
From stop, press and hold the MARK/ EDIT
button for about 2 seconds to enter Edit mode.

ing in the display.
While the display is flashing (3 seconds) press
and release the MARK/
EDIT button five more
times.

Read: and Write:
numbers will be
displayed. If the
read and write
numbers are the same, the CF card check is
successful.
Note:
The number times 2 equals the actual read and write speed
in kbps. For the example card, the total speed of the
PMD671 and CF card was thus 6646 kbps. To read and
write audio at 24-bit 96 kHz requires at least 4680 kbps.
