General Information

Introduction

■

Thank you for selecting the Marantz Professional PMD580
Network Recorder. The PMD580 is an audio recorder that
records in digital audio formats onto a Compact Flash™
memory card (CF card) or Microdrive™.

The PMD580 is an audio recorder. It accepts audio inputs
from your audio equipment, standard line level analog audio
inputs or a digital input, and records in digital audio formats
onto a removable flash memory card.
Removable flash memory cards, also used in digital cameras,
are widely available at appliance stores and computer
shop. Removable flash memory cards come in several
configurations (variations in the thickness and shape of the
card and connections). The PMD580 accepts “Compact
Flash™” memory cards or “Microdrive™” cards.

For convenience, this manual will refer to the memory card as
a “CF card”.

Note:

To record from a microphone, you have to plug the microphone
into a pre-amp to change the microphone level input(s) to a
line level input to the PMD580.

■

Computer compatible

The advantages of CF card digital recording are:

• The recording is directly digital, CF cards are available in
various sizes (see chart on page 70).

• Compressed recording can record long audio sessions
(at quality levels suitable for recording a meeting).

• Audio recorded in the popular MP3 compression format is
directly available for intranet or internet file sharing.

• High quality recording (CD level or greater) can be
selected.

• Recordings can be transferred to your desktop or laptop
computer by removing the CF card from the PMD580 or
by connecting the PMD580 to your computer via the USB
port or Ethernet.

On your computer you can then:

• log and archive audio files

• play audio files

• save audio files to:
– your hard drive
– a floppy
– a CD-R disc

• post streaming audio files on your web site

• use software and your computer to transcribe digital
recordings

• use software and your computer to manipulate high
quality audio files

Setup

■

Audio inputs may be from:

• line level sources connected to the BALANCED IN (XLR)
jacks.

• line level audio sources connected to the ANALOG IN
(RCA) jacks.

• digital audio sources in SPDIF or AES/EBU format
connected to the DIGITAL IN (RCA) jack.

• digital audio sources in SPDIF or AES/EBU format
connected to the BALANCED IN (XLR) jack.

Audio outputs may be to:

• headphones connected to the HEADPHONE (Phone)
jack.

• analog audio devices such as an amplifier or other device
connected to the ANALOG OUT (RCA) jacks.

• analog audio devices such as an amplifier or other device
connected to the BALANCED OUT (XLR) jacks.

• digital audio devices using SPDIF or AES/EBU format
connected to the DIGITAL OUT (RCA) jack.

• digital audio devices using SPDIF or AES/EBU format
connected to the BALANCED OUT (XLR) jack.

External control

■

• Web Remote enables external control of the PMD580 from
your computer in the network.

• RS-232C control codes enable full external control of the
PMD580.

• A wired remote connection (REMOTE) accepts a mono
Phone jack (remote control not supplied).

Depending on the menu selection, a simple contact

closure connected here permits:

• Start Pause : pause and resume

• StartPauseTR : restart after pause while recording initiates
a new track

• Manual Track : initiate a new track while recording (if

Seamless Play is Off during playback
initiating a track adds a small audio gap)

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.

Scheduled recording

■

The PMD580 can be set to start recording when the preset
start time comes and end the recording when the preset end
time comes.

3

Playback aids

■

A common problem with lengthy recordings is difficulty in
locating one or more specific passages for playback. The
PMD580 has several ways to mark or tag specific record
starting and/or ending points.

• Date and time
A built-in date and time generator marks the beginning of

each track.

• 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 selectable recording interval. (Minute track:
Setting the interval to one minute provides a new track
every minute of a recording, permitting navigation of a
large audio recording by time.)

– A new track can be started during recording by

pressing the REC button. (Manual Track, Manual Track
incrementing, On.)

Web remote control

■

The PMD580 can be connected to your computer in the Local
Area Network, and can be controlled and set from the window
in your internet web browser.

Features

■

• Stereo (2 channels) and mono (1 channel) audio
recording and playback.

• Records onto various types of CF cards. (Please refer to
the Marantz Professional web site at www.d-mpro.com for
what kind of media is recommended.)

• Three different recording formats.
– Compressed recording using MPEG1 Layer III (MP3)

mono and stereo.

– Uncompressed recording using 16-bit linear Pulse

Code Modulation (PCM).

– Uncompressed recording using 24-bit linear Pulse

Code Modulation (PCM).

• MS-DOS™, Windows and Macintosh compatible audio
files.

• Selectable file types:
– Wave
– MP3

• Selectable recording bit rate
– MP3 compressed at 32 kbps (recommended for

dictation)
32, 48 or 64 kbps (recommended for voice recording)
128 or 192 kbps (recommended for recording music)
– PCM uncompressed at 768 kbps (mono) with 16bit or 24

bit resolution. (very high quality mono audio recording)
– PCM uncompressed at 1536 kbps (stereo) with 16 bit

or 24 bit resolution. (recommended for very high quality

audio recording)

• Record start and end times can be scheduled.

• Pre-Recording memory buffer that records 2 seconds of
audio before recording is started.

• Built-in Time and Date generator marks the beginning of
each track.

• Three remote options, including Remote jack, RS-232C
and Local Area Network, permit wired remote control.

• Network features
– Archiving can be set to make a copy of the recorded

files in a network drive.

– Web Remote settings from the network computer.

Installation

■ Connections

How to mount in a rack

• The PMD580 is of 1U size, allowing it to be mounted in
EIA standard 19-inch racks.

When mounting the PMD580 in a rack, use guide rails

or shelf boards, etc., on the rack side to prevent weight
from being applied to the front of the PMD580. The fittings
alone cannot support the weight of the PMD580.

• Do not cover the top of the unit. Remember, heat is
dispersed from the PMD580’s upper surface.

• Set up the installation environment carefully. For example,
take care to protect the PMD580 from heat from other
devices. If necessary, use forced ventilation. The
surrounding conditions must meet the specifications
described in “SPECIFICATIONS” on Page 72.

• The PMD580 will work normally when the player unit is
mounted with the front panel within 10 degrees of the
vertical plane. If the unit is tilted excessively, discs may
not load or unload properly.

■

Follow the instructions on this page to install your new
PMD580 CF Recorder and begin recording.
The PMD580 comes factory preset for recording in stereo with
MP3 compression, recommended quality for music recording.

See page 52 for Network connections.

1. Connect to one or more audio inputs.

Note:

The PMD580 does not connect directly to microphone level
inputs.

• Connect line level analog inputs and/or outputs to the
ANALOG IN/OUT jacks.

• If the PMD580 is placed near an amplifier, tuner or other

If this occurs, separate the PMD580 from other

components or reorient its position.

Note:

If recording is in progress, opening the CF card door
automatically stops recording and writes critical track
information to properly close the file.

2. Press the Card eject button so it is in click out
position.

3. Close the CF card door.

CF card security

(3 mm × 10 mm long)
The supplied CF card compartment security screw requires a
small Phillips screwdriver to open the CF card compartment
door. That reduces the possibility of the CF card being
misplaced or stolen.

1. Remove the plastic pin and then the retainer.

2. Add the screw. Tighten the screw with a small Phillips

screwdriver enough so that the screw cannot be
removed with a fingernail.

Recording Procedure

■

1. Press the POWER switch to turn on the power.

• “Booting” appears in the display.

• “Initialize” appears after “Booting”.
