    read a CF card or be connected via the USB port.
    *Or a Macintosh computer that can recognize Windows
    compatible removable drives.
    CF cards with less than 2 GB capacity are auto-
    matically formatted FAT16 (FAT = File Allocation
    Table).
    CF cards with 2 - 8 GB capacity are automatically
    formatted FAT32.
    The maximum CF card that can be formatted in
    the PMD671 is 8 GB. If larger cards are used,
    please format in your computer.

    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.
    Renumber is flash-
    ing in the display.
    While the display is flashing (3 seconds) press
    and release the MARK/
    EDIT button five more
    times.
    CARD CHECK is
    flashing in the
    display.
    While CARD CHECK is flashing (3 seconds)
    press and release the ENTER button
    .
    EXECUTING will
    be displayed and
    the percentage will
    go to 100%.
    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.

    Beep
    When battery charge can provide no more than
    1-3 minutes of recording or playback and Beep is
    set to On, the CHARGE indicator, REC indicator
    and the battery indicator in the display will flash,
    and the PMD671 will beep through the head-
    phones or speaker.
    If the PMD671 is not operated for 30 minutes
    during stop or play pause, power can be auto-
    matically shut off to conserve battery life. (See
    A.PowOFF.) If A.PowOFF is set to Yes, and Beep
    is set to ON, the PMD671 will beep to alert you
    that the power is shutting off.
    Default is Beep On.

    Battery Type
    The PMD671 can operate on 8 standard AA size
    Alkaline, Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries.
    An optional Ni-Cd battery pack (Model RB1100
    available from Marantz Professional) will be
    charged by the built-in charger when the AC
    adaptor is plugged in.
    An optional Ni-MH battery pack (Model RB1651
    available from Marantz Professional) will be
    charged by the built-in charger when the AC
    adaptor is plugged in.
    The Battery Type setting is used for the battery
    indicator in the display and "Low Battery" warn-
    ing. If the setting does not match installed batter-
    ies the PMD671 will not show the appropriate
    battery status.Example

    Rec Format
    The PMD671 can record from analog or digital
    inputs, on one channel (mono) or two (stereo), in
    PCM at 24 or 16 bits, and in MP2 or MP3 com-
    pression formats.
    For given channels and formats the PMD671 can
    record at several bit rates and sample frequen-
    cies.
    The file extension (.wav, .mpg, .mp3) is set by the
    file format chosen (PCM, MP2, MP3) except for
    BWF files (Broadcast Wave Format). The BWF
    file extension can be either .wav, or .bwf.
    As audio quality goes up (more bits, less com-
    pression, higher sampling frequency, greater bit
    rate), the amount of information recorded in-
    creases so the amount of time that can be re-
    corded on a CF card of a specific size goes
    down. See Recording time chart on page 57.
    The PMD671 has a sizeable range of file format
    parameter choices available, but it does not
    present you with every possible combination.
    Your decisions about which File Format param-
    eters to use will depend on the quality level you
    need for the purpose(s) of your recording versus
    limitations in recording time.
    Note:
    At very high audio quality levels, processor power also
    becomes a limitation. The RAW (Read After Write) and Time
    Shift features are processor intensive, so in some instances
    the MONITOR and Verify features and 24-bit recording
    cannot be used simutaneously. See charts on page 14.
    The File Format chart below follows the PMD671
    File Format menu setting procedure as you read
    columns from left to right.
    Note
    A full size copy of this chart is on page 58.
    Rec Format ChartThe RecFormat setting procedure is usually
    unnecessary for Digital Input. See page 34. The
    following applies to inputs from MIC, LINE IN,
    and the Internal mic.
    Channel(s)
    Choose between Stereo and Mono recording
    (two or one channel). For PCM recording, Stereo
    is about twice as time intensive as Mono.
    Format
    Choose between PCM (16 or 24 bit) or a com-
    pression format (MP2 or MP3).
    Fs (Sampling Frequency)
    Choose the Sample Frequency (in kHz).
    Bit rate
    You can select a bit rate in kilobits per second
    (kbps) for a compression format (MP2 or MP3).
    File ext. (File extension)
    In most cases, you have chosen the file exten-
    sion by choosing the Format. If you desire a
    BWF file choose between .wav and .bwf for the
    file extension.
