The PMD560 is an audio recorder that records in digital audio formats onto a Compact FlashTM memory card (CF card) or MicrodriveTM. CF cards, also used in digital cameras, are widely available at consumer electronics retailers and computer resellers. · Playback aids A common problem with lengthy voice or other recordings is difficulty in locating one or more specific passages for playback. The PMD560 has several ways to mark specific record starting points. · Tracks · A new track (file) is automatically started each time you begin a recording. · It is not possible to record over a previously recorded track unless it is first erased. · An Auto Track feature can add tracks every minute or other selected recording intervals. (Minute track: Setting the interval to one minute provides a new track every minute of a recording. This permits navigation of a large audio recording by time.) · A new track can be started during recording by pressing the REC button (if the "Manual Trk" preset is turned On). · EDL marks* EDL (Edit Decision List) marks can be created during recording manually or automatically. EDL marks help you find specific points in the recording. · During playback, you can instantly locate EDL marks. · Up to 255 EDL marks can be added to a CF card. EDL marks are numbered consecutively starting at one. During recording, you can manually add an EDL mark by pushing and holding the SHIFT button While you push the REC/MARK button. EDL marks can also be added automatically. *The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz Professional solid state recorders. Features · Stereo (2 channels) and mono (1 channel) audio recording and playback. · Audio inputs may be from : · line level audio sources connected to the LINE IN jack. · Audio outputs may be from : · headphones connected to the HEADPHONE jack, or · analog audio devices such as an amplifier or other devices connected to the LINE OUT jack. · Records onto various types of CF cards. (Please refer to the Marantz Professional web site www.d-mpro.com for what kind of media are recommended.) · Computer compatible The PMD560 records directly onto CF cards. Recordings can be transferred to your desktop or laptop computer by removing the CF card from the PMD560 or by connecting the PMD560 to your computer via the USB port. Audio recorded in the popular MP3 compression format is directly available for intranet or internet file sharing. · MS-DOSTM and Windows compatible file system. · Automatic recording The PMD560 can be set to stop recording when there is silence (Silent Skip) and automatically start when sound resumes. The PMD560 can be set to automatically add an EDL mark to the track at each such starting point. · Two different recording formats : · Compressed recording using MPEG1 Layer III (MP3) mono and stereo. MP3 compressed at 128kbps (stereo) or 64kbps (mono). · Uncompressed recording using 16-bit linear Pulse Code Modulation (PCM). · Three remote options, including RS-232C, permit wired remote control. · Security ­ CF cards For security, the CF card compartment door can be secured with a screw. Requiring a tool to open the CF card compartment reduces casual removal of the CF card. · Pre-Recording memory buffer records 2 seconds of audio before recording is started. · Virtual Track Virtual Track allows you to set an in point and an out point within a file for later immediate playback access. · Copy Segment Copy Segment works just like the copy and paste function of your standard word processing program. It allows you to "highlight" a section of a track(file) by setting an in point and an out point, and then paste that section into a new track(file) without destroying the original track(file). · Setup Three menu selectable Presets make it easy to switch between your commonly used input, recording format and other menu selections. · Time / Date stamp A built-in date and time generator marks (stamps) the beginning of each track. 3 Controls and Connections Front side 1 2 3 4 5 16 q POWER switch 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 i PLAY/PAUSE button Push to turn Power on or off. w CF card access light(green) This light flashes while the CF card is being read from or written to.

Add a Track automatically With Auto Trk(Automatic Track incrementing) on, a new track is begun automatically at specified intervals of recording time. Automatic Track can be set to increment every 1, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes, or every 1, 2, 6, 8, 12 or 24 hours. Automatic Track makes finding a particular point in a recording easier. For example, if a new track begins every minute during playback, the Minute Track makes finding a particular passage easier because of the relationship between track numbers and time. During playback, you can select track 3 to play approximately the 3rd minute of recording. To go directly to the beginning of the 10th minute, select track 10, etc. Track Recording time # minutes:seconds 1........................0:00 ­ 1:00 2........................1:01 ­ 2:00 3........................2:01 ­ 3:00 The continuity of sound is not guaranteed and depends on the speed of a card or the file size. How to adjust record balance First check or adjust the record level (above).
