· Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. · The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.
CAUTION
About DVD-RAM disks used with the PD-6
With the PD-6, only use DVD-RAM disks which is confirmed by Fostex. Operation confirmed disk model: MAXELL DRMS-V28R (8-centimeter DVD-RAM disk, double sided) *as of March 2003.
Fostex does not guarantee the operation of the PD-6 when using a disk which is not recommended by Fostex.
About disk formatting
Before starting recording, be sure to format the disk in either of the following ways.a
· ·
For a brand-new disk:
Carry out the initial format (see page 24 in the operation manual).
For a used disk:
Carry out the physical format (see page 115 in the operation manual).

Precautions
Precautions on safety
Avoid excessive heat and humidity
Do not expose the PD-6 to extremes of humidity. Do not place the unit in direct sunlight, close to heating units, or in areas subject to high temperatures. Also avoid areas subject to extremely low temperatures. The PD-6's ambient operating temperature is between 0º and 45ºC.
Avoid excessive dust and vibration
Locations which are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage.
Avoid physical shocks
Strong physical shocks can cause damage. Handle the unit with care.
Avoid damaging the power cord
Make certain that the PD-6's power cord is not located in a position where it is likely to be walked on or pinched by other equipment placed near the cord.
Clean with a soft dry cloth
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the PD-6. Wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth. If further cleaning is required, a lightly moistened cloth with a mild detergent may be used.
Do not open the case or attempt repairs or modification yourself
The PD-6 contains no user-serviceable parts. For other than routine cleaning, refer all maintenance to qualified FOSTEX service personnel. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not open the case. Opening the case and/or tampering with the internal circuitry will void the warranty.

PD-6 DVD Location Recorder (Chapter 1: Introduction)
Introduction
The model PD-6 is a portable 6-track DVD location recorder using an 8centimeter DVD-RAM disk as a recording medium. To get the best performance in the circumstance of location recording, the PD-6 is equipped with a six-channel mixer in a light-weighted and small body, and you can make reliable long-time recording with an internal battery (equivalent to the NP-1 type). The PD-6 also offers video/word sync capability, allowing the perfect synchronization to video/picture equipment such as a video camera. In addition, it is equipped with a connector, conformed to IEEE1394, for direct connection to a personal computer, allowing transferring recorded audio file data to a personal computer for editing. The versatile functions of the PD-6 make it the best location audio recorder for broadcasts and post productions.
Main features/functions
· Equipped with an ATAPI 8-centimeter DVD-RAM drive. This drive is designed vibrationproof, and ensures high-speed access and reliability, which only the optical disk system can afford. The DVD-RAM disk format is conformed to "UDF Rev1.5", which ensures great compatibility with personal computers. The recording file format is conformed to the BWF interleave 1 file specification. When a file is imported to a DAW such as the Pro Tools from the PD-6, it is separated to mono files. Various recording track modes are available. You can select a desired t rack mode from among 2, 4, 5 and 6, as well as 2+4 and 1+5 track modes. Supports 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz sampling frequencies with 24 bit quantization. At 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz sampling frequency, you can also select 16 bit quantization. Supports video and word synchronization, allowing the PD-6 synchronized with external devices (such as video cameras). The PD-6 automatically recognizes a video or word signal. "Pre Record" function, a useful feature for location recording, allows to store maximum 10-second recent audio data into the buffer. You can start recording from the current audio data in the buffer. The buffer time can be set between 1 and 10 seconds. A six-channel analog mixer is built in. You can make direct track recording or mix recording. For example, you can record signals of channels 1 through 4 to tracks 1 through 4 respectively, while record stereo mix (rough mix) signals to tracks 5 and 6.

PD-6 DVD Location Recorder (Chapter 1: Introduction)
·
Each mixer channel provides a pan pot, a phantom power supply (P48/ T12), a frequency-sweepable filter and a limiter. In addition, each of channels 2, 4 and 6 provides a phase switch. A 128 x 64 dot-matrix backlit LCD display for showing various information is used, which helped to design the PD-6 compact and lower power consumption. You can select the display mode by a single key operation. The level meter section can be enlarged. A connector conformed to IEEE1394 is provided for connecting directly to a personal computer. It allows transferring audio file data recorded by the PD-6 between the PD-6 and a personal computer. A USB port is provided for connecting directly to a USB keyboard. You can make setting and editing from a keyboard instead of the PD-6 panel keys. (Note that you cannot make all setting and editing from a keyboard.) The Cue function allows to store markers (cue points) during recording. Cue points are used for the locate or skip function. (To use cue points for the skip function, you have to set the "Skip mode" menu in the Setup mode to "CUE".) The circle take function allows to put "@" to desired recorded audio files. Using this function, you can make an "OK take" list easily. The reference input level can be selected between -18 dB and -20 dB. (The selection is made in the Setup mode. The default setting is -20 dB.) Built in accurate TC generator (in +/- 1 ppm accuracy) for recording IEC time code. The time code can be started by jamming to an external time code or from the desired time of the internal clock. The jam function switches the reference from an external time code to the internal time code generator. The error tone can be generated for warning when disk writing error occurs, clipping occurs at the input amplifier stage, the power voltage is out of the allowable range, or the remaining space of the disk is few. (You have to make setting of the "Error tone" menu in the Setup mode appropriately.)

PD-6 DVD Location Recorder (Chapter 2: Before using the PD-6)
About power supply
The PD-6 is powered either by a battery which allows the unit to be used outside, or by the AC adaptor (Fostex Model AD-15C, optional).
Make sure that the PD-6 power switch is set to "OFF" when changing a battery or when disconnect the AC adaptor from the unit. The unit continuously accesses data when the power is on, therefore, the memory contents may be reset by the sudden power interruption.
About battery
No battery is supplied with the PD-6. We recommend to use the IDX NP-L50, IDX NP23, Sony NP-1 or equivalent for the battery of the PD-6. Typically 2-hour recording is possible using the fully charged IDX NP-L50 (note that the recordable time may vary depending on temperature or other condition).
When charging a battery, charge to its full potential.
· Charging the battery
Normally, a battery is not charged when shipped, therefore, you must charge it before using. Refer to the instruction of the battery you purchased for details about how to charge it.
The PD-6 does not provide the battery charging function.
· Installing the battery
Insert a battery into the battery compartment firmly from the open end on the left side panel, with the battery terminals inside, until the battery is locked.
To run the unit on the installed battery, set the [POWER SEL] switch on the right side panel to "INT". Also set the "warning voltage of the battery" menu in the Setup mode properly after turning on the power (see page 97 for details).
