PDF format manual(s) Several languages may be included.

• This User Guide

• Customer Registration Document (Americas only)

Page 8

• 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.

• 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.

Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Marantz Professional PMD560 Solid State Recorder. The PMD560 is an audio recorder that records in digital audio formats onto a Compact Flash™ memory card (CF card) or Microdrive™. CF cards, also used in digital cameras, are widely available at consumer electronics retailers and computer resellers.

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-DOS™ 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.

Add a Track manually

When Manual Trk (Manual Track incrementing) is On during recording, push the REC button to increment the track. A new track is created at that point.

The continuity of sound is not guaranteed and depends on the speed of a card or the file size.

Setup the "Manual Trk" of the preset menu. (page 24)

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

How to adjust record level

Turn the Jog Wheel to set or adjust the record level (Vol.) during recording or in record-pause.

Example

display

The record level can be from 0 to -59 dB and Mute. Turn to adjust 1 dB at a time. The record level setting is remembered, even after power off, so you do not have to do anything else to confirm or store it.

How to adjust record balance

First check or adjust the record level (above). Push and hold the SHIFT button while you turn the Jog Wheel to set or adjust the record balance during recording or in recordpause.

Record balance maintains the record level of the target channel and reduces the record level of the other channel in 1 dB increments. For example, if you push and hold the SHIFT button and turn the Jog Wheel 5 clicks to the right, the right channel record level is not changed, and the left channel record level is reduced 5dB.

Example

display

The record balance setting is remembered, even after power off, so you do not have to do anything else to confirm or store it.

Pre Record

When PreRecord is on and the PMD560 is in record-pause, it 'listens to' the selected audio input(s) and continuously buffers 2 seconds of audio. Then, when record is started, the PMD560 writes the previously buffered 2 seconds of audio to the card & continues to record from there.

Setup the "PreRecord" of the preset menu. (page 24)

Silent Skip (Automatic Pause Recording)

Silent Skip automatically pauses recording when there is a period of silence and resumes recording when sound resumes.

The Silent Skip Menu setting permits:

• Turning Silent Skip On or Off.

• Adjusting the margin sound level that defines silence in

-60dB, -54dB, -38dB or -20dB.

Virtual Track and Copy Segment

Virtual Track

Virtual Track allows you to set an In point and an Out point within a file (or across multiple files of the same RecFormat and RecChannel) for later, immediate access. Files marked as Virtual Tracks are stored in the PMD560 and can be accessed quickly by entering the PMD560 in Virtual Track Playback mode. See

page 14, Creating a Virtual Track.

See

page 16, Entering Virtual Track Playback mode.

Note:

Because Virtual Tracks are really just location information stored on the card, creating Virtual Tracks requires practically no memory on your card reserving valuable space for actual recorded material.

Copy Segment

Copy Segment operates exactly like Virtual Track except, instead of storing In and Out points for immediate playback access, Copy Segment physically turns your “highlighted” section into a new and separate file, without destroying the original source file(s). See

page 15, Using Copy Segment to create a new file.

Virtual Track Edit mode

In addition, Virtual Playback mode has an edit menu that allows you to turn one Virtual Track into a new file, all Virtual Tracks into new files, erase a Virtual Track, and erase all Virtual Tracks. See

page 16, Virtual Track Edit mode.

Page 20

Push the Jog wheel

or the PLAY/PAUSE button

to store your segment as a Virtual Track. “Executing” will be displayed momentarily, and then the display will read “Completed.” To playback your created Virtual Track, see

page

16, Entering

Virtual Track Playback mode.

Using Copy Segment to create a new file

1. During playback, push the COPY button when the audio reaches your desired In Point.

“SetAs IN?” is displayed.

2. Push the Jog wheel or the PLAY/PAUSE button to store the In point.

“IN-” will flash in the display to indicate the In point has been stored and playback of the file resumes.

3. Continue to let the PMD560 play to your desired Out point, or use the standard transport controls like the Jog wheel to span greater time lengths.

4. When you have reached your desired Out point, push the COPY button.

“SetAs OUT?” is displayed.

1. The host requests data by setting RTS to H.

2. Upon data request by RTS, the PMD560 responds by setting CTS to H if not busy.

3. The host checks if CTS is H and starts data output on TX.

4. When data output finishes, the host sets RTS to L.

5. The PMD560 checks if RTS is L and sets CTS to L.

Note:

• The receiving side ignores data received prior to "@". If code data is received without receiving "@", the data receive error code will be returned.

• The tolerance for send/receive clock error is ±3.5%.

• For sending a command, wait more than 20ms after

reception of a response (OK, ERR or Status).

• Reception of 0Dh or timeout is used to determine the end of a command. Timeout occurs 1 second after the reception of the last byte.

Control command codes

The control command packets have a data length of 7~11 bytes. ASCII codes from 0x00 to 0x7f are used to receive serial data. At the transmission end, take steps to convert the ASCII codes into HEX data to set the data in the data packets. CR (0x0d) is added as the data packet delimiter.

Example: Control command code for number 5 (ASCII code @02305CR)

@02305CR

0x40 0x30 0x32 0x33 0x30 0x35 0x0d

When transmitting commands consecutively, put more than 100ms blank between commands.

Status Request and Status Information codes

The status data packets have a data length of 7~12 bytes. ASCII codes from 0x00 to 0x7f are used to transmit serial data. For this reason, the ASCII codes are converted into HEX data before the data is set in the data packets and transmitted. CR (0x0d) is added as the data packet delimiter.

Example: Status Information code "Door open" (ASCII code @0DS01CR)

@0 D S 0 1CR

0x40 0x30 0x44 0x53 0x30 0x31 0x0d

Hand shake flow charts for control commands

Host sends a command that causes a change in PMD560 status.

Host sends a command that causes no change in PMD560 status. For example, Host requests Play during Playback.

Status Request Commands from the host are received by the PMD560, then the status information code is transmitted to the host.

A change in the state of the PMD560 automatically transmits a status information code to the host.

The PMD560 does not turn on.

• Check power cord and your home circuit breaker.

The PMD560 seems to record, but there is no sound on playback.

• Is the amp on? Check to see if the connect input has been selected.

There is no audio playback through headphones.

• Check HEADPHONE LEVEL control setting.

• Check a different track or CF card.

The PMD560 will not record.

• Check that the maximum of 999 tracks have not been recorded.

• Check that the PMD560 acknowledges the CF card.

There is excessive noise on the PMD560.

• Check cable connections and/or replace cable.

• Check for proper gain levels.

Playback on a PC results in poor sound.

• Check quality of PC sound card and program.

• Check frequency conversion program.*

* The PMD560 records audio files with a sampling

frequency of 48kHz. Some PC programs convert the files to 44.1kHz (using a sample rate converter). Only high quality sample rate converters should be used.

PC cannot read files

• Check the capability of the PC program. Some playback and editing programs do not support MP3 or Broadcast Wave (.wav) formats.

If the PMD560 exhibits erratic behavior, the microprocessor can be reset by powering off, disconnecting Power cord.

Care and Maintenance

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Media cards that are heavily used should be occasionally reformatted to avoid audio problems due to fragmentation.
