cloth for cleaning.

6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by

the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water–for

example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,

swimming pool, in a wet basement, and the like.

8. Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing

serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the

product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table

recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product.

Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer's

instructions, and should use a mounting accessory

recommended by the manufacturer.

9. A product and cart combination

should be moved with care. Quick

stops, excessive force, and

uneven surfaces may cause the

product and cart combination to

overturn.

10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in

the cabinet are provided for

ventilation and to ensure reliable

operation of the product and to

protect it from overheating. These

openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should

never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or

other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a

built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper

ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have

been adhered to.

11. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the

type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are

not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your

product dealer or local power company. For products intended

to operate from battery power or other sources, refer to the

operating instructions.

12. Power Cord Protection – Power supply cords should be routed

so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items

placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to

cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where

they exit from the product.

specified by the manufacturer that has the same overload

protection as the original plug.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable

system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or

cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection

against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810

of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides

information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and

supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an

antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location

of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,

and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.

16. Lightning – Lightning – Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and

disconnect the antenna or cable system for added protection

during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and

unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the

product due to lightning and power line surges.

17. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be

located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric

light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines

or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme

care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or

circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

18. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or

integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of

fire or electric shock.

19. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into

this product through openings as they may touch dangerous

voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or

electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

20. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as

opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous

voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service

personnel.

21. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall

outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under

the following conditions:

a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.

c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the product does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions, as an improper

adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the

product to its normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and

f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance –

this indicates a need for service.

22. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be

sure the service technician has used replacement parts

specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics

as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in

fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

23. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to

this product, ask the service technician to perform safety

checks to determine that the product is in proper operating

condition.

24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be mounted to a

wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

25. Heat – The product should be situated away from heat sources

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

13. Grounding or Polarization – This

product may be equipped with a

grounded polarized alternating-

current line plug (a plug having

one blade wider than the other

and a ground prong). This plug will

fit into the power outlet only one

way. This is a safety feature. If you

Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Marantz Professional

PMD570 Solid State Recorder. The PMD570 is an

audio recorder that records in digital audio formats

onto a Compact Flash™ memory card (CF card) or

Microdrive™.

Compact flash memory cards, also used in digital

cameras, are widely available at consumer electronics

retailers and computer resellers.

Computer compatible

The PMD570 records directly onto CF cards. Record-

ings can be transferred to your desktop or laptop

computer by removing the CF card from the PMD570

or by connecting the PMD570 to your computer via

the I/O port. Audio recorded in the popular MP3

compression format is directly available for intranet or

internet file sharing.

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

• An editing program (Marantz Professional's

PMDEdit application software, available from

Marantz Professional for PC users) lets you convert

and edit audio files that were recorded on the

PMD570.

Setup

• Three menu selectable Presets make it easy to

switch between your commonly used input,

recording format, playback parameters and other

menu selections.

Audio inputs may be from:

• line level sources connected to the BALANCED

IN XLR jacks,

• line level audio sources connected to the ANA-

• digital audio sources in SPDIF format connected

to the DIGITAL IN jack.

Audio outputs may be from:

• headphones connected to the HEADPHONE jack,

• analog audio devices such as an amplifier or other

device connected to the ANALOG OUT jacks,

and/or

• digital audio devices using SPDIF format con-

nected to the DIGITAL OUT jack.

External control

• RS-232C control codes enable full external

control of the PMD570.

• Suggested Presets that are downloadable to the

PMD570 via the RS-232C control port are

available at d-mpro.com.

• An optional wired Remote Marantz Model RC600

connects via a TRRS connector and permits:

• starting, stopping, or pausing recording

• adding EDL marks (see next page) to a track

• A second wired remote connection 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

• StrtPausTR: restart after pause while recording

initiates a new track

• EDL Mark: add a silent EDL mark

• Manual TRK: initiate a new track while record-

ing (if Seamless Play is off during playback

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.

Automatic recording

The PMD570 can be set to stop recording when

there is silence (Silent Skip) and automatically start

when sound resumes. The PMD570 can be set to

automatically add an EDL mark to the track at each

such starting point.

Playback aids

A common problem with lengthy recordings is

difficulty in locating one or more specific passages for

playback. The PMD570 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 begin-

ning of each track.

- 9 -

• 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 navigating a large audio

recording by time.)

• A new track can be started during recording by

pressing the Record button. (Manual TR,

Manual Track incrementing, On.)

EDL marks

EDL marks are silent during playback but locatable.

EDL (Edit Decision List) marks can be created

during recording manually or automatically. EDL

marks help you find those specific points in the

recording.

*The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz Professional

solid state recorders.

• During playback you can instantly locate EDL

marks.

• You can change an EDL mark into a skip mark or

an A-B repeating point. That lets you create

custom playback sequences which include

skipping audio between EDL marks or repeating

audio between EDL marks.

• EDL marks are specific to the CF card, not to

Tracks. That lets you create custom playback

sequences across Tracks.

• 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 SHIFT

while you push the MARK button.

• EDL marks can also be added automatically.

• Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application

software, is specifically designed by Marantz.

Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application

software recognizes EDL marks generated by the

PMD570. This is especially useful for editing

audio files on your PC. For more information

visit www.d-mpro.com.

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

recording), or

128, or 192 kbps (recommended for recording

music)

• PCM uncompressed at 768kbps (mono) (very

high quality mono audio recording)

• PCM uncompressed at 1536kbps (stereo) (recom-

mended for very high quality audio recording)

• Pre-Recording memory buffer that records 2

seconds of audio before recording is started.

• Portions of multiple recordings can be played back

in sequence using EDL marks.

• Built-in Time and Date generator marks the begin-

ning of each track.

• Three remote options, including RS-232C, permit

wired remote control.

RecFormat

The PMD570 can record in a variety of compression

algorithm, associated bit rate, file format, and record-

ing type (channels recorded) parameters. See explana-

tions and chart below.

First determine the input connection you want to

record from; BALANCED IN, ANALOG, or DIGI-

TAL IN. Second set the Preset Menu Input choice to

correspond with the connection: Bal.In, Unbal., or

Dig-IN.

RecFormat parameters:

Channels

The recording channel can be stereo (two discrete

channels of recording) or mono (one channel of

recording). Set to match your inputs.

File Format

The file format (3 character computer file extension)

can be .wav, .bwf, .mpg or .mp3. Broadcast Wave

format, used primarily in the broadcast industry,

includes identification codes in the file header.

Algorithm

The PMD570 can record using three methods,

PCM and two compression algorithms: MP2,

and MP3.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is

uncompressed. These are high quality audio

files used in the recording industry. For

example, for recording CD quality music.

MP3 is highly compressed, and creates

relatively small files that are commonly used

to share files on the internet.

MP2 is a compressed file format that is

commonly used in broadcasting. MP2 audio is

a higher quality than MP3. This is especially

useful when lower bitrates are used. If you are

a news reporter you will probably want to

record in Broadcast Wave format (BWF)

using MP2 compression.

Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application

software and other professional level computer

applications are available for computer process-

ing of PCM, MP2 and MP3 files.

Sampling Frequency

Sampling frequency is measured in kHz (kilo-

hertz). The sampling frequency is the number of

samples of the audio wave(s) per second. For

example, the PMD570 can record PCM at 48

kHz that is 48,000 samples per second.

Bit Rate

The bit rate for PCM is constant for each

sampling frequency. MP2 and MP3 can be

recorded at a number of different bit rates.

- 29 -

How to set or change the RecFormat parameters

This table of RecFormat parameters reflects the menu

setting procedure of those parameters.

Note:

EDL marks

EDL* (Edit Decision List) marks help you locate

specific points in the recording.

During regular playback EDL marks are silent.

*The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz Professional

solid state recorders.

EDL marks can be created during recording manually

or automatically. EDL marks can also be added during

playback or play pause at any time.

• During stop or play pause you can search for EDL

marks by pushing and holding SHIFT and turning

the Jog Wheel.

• You can change an EDL mark into a skip mark or

an A-B repeating point. That lets you create

custom playback sequences which include skip-

ping audio between EDL marks or repeating audio

between EDL marks. See How to Edit EDL marks

on page 45.

• 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 pressing and holding the SHIFT button

while pressing and releasing the MARK button.

• PMDEdit computer software, is specifically

designed for the PMD570 and PMD670. Marantz

Professional's PMDEdit application software

recognizes EDL marks generated by the PMD570.

This is especially useful for editing audio files on

your PC. For more information visit www.d-

mpro.com.

EDL marks are initially entered as 'Point' marks. An

EDL mark can also be a Skip mark, Loop_A mark, or

Loop_B mark.

Skip marks

When EDL Play is at On, playback segments that

begin with a Skip mark are skipped. Although the

skipped segment remains on the CF card it plays back

as if it has been erased.

Loop marks

When EDL Play is at On, when there is a Loop_A and

a Loop_B mark on the CF card, playback repeats

between the A and B marks.

Locating EDL Marks

From stop or play pause push and hold the SHIFT

button while you turn the Jog Wheel to scroll through

the EDL marks on the CF card.

Note:

If you push and hold the SHIFT button and turn the

Jog Wheel during playback, the PMD570 automati-

cally switches to play pause to scroll through the EDL

marks.

Custom playback sequences

EDL Marks are numbered consecutively from 001

and automatically renumbered when an EDL Mark is

added or erased. Playback is also consecutive from the

point that playback begins.

EDL Mark custom playback can:

Skip playback from the beginning of a 'Skip' EDL

Mark to the beginning of the next EDL Mark.

A-B loop from a 'Loop_A' EDL Mark to a 'Loop_B'

EDL Mark.

How to Edit EDL marks:

All EDL marks are initially entered as 'Point' marks.

From stop or play pause, push and hold the SHIFT

button while you turn the Jog Wheel to tab through

the EDL marks.

EDL mark types

Point

Nothing happens during EDL playback.

Skip

Audio following a Skip EDL mark will be skipped

during EDL playback. Playback will skip to the

beginning of the next EDL mark.

The skipped EDL audio is not erased. The recording is

still on the CF card. The skipped EDL recording will

play if EDL Play is at Off. You can change the EDL

mark type later.

Loop_A and Loop_B

During EDL playback audio following an EDL Point

mark is played, and audio following an EDL Skip

mark is skipped. When EDL playback reaches the

EDL Loop_B point, playback switches to the EDL

Loop_A point and continues.

There can only be one EDL A-B loop on a CF card.

When a 'Loop_A' or 'Loop_B' exists on a CF card and

another is created the old mark automatically changes

to a 'Skip'.

Erase

When an EDL mark is erased the remaining EDL

marks are automatically renumbered from 1 through

the number of EDL marks on the CF card.

EDL Play

See page 37 for instructions on turning the EDL Play

Menu item On or Off.

OFF: When the EDL Play is Off PMD570 playback

does not respond to EDL mark instructions.

ON: When EDL Play is ON PMD570 playback

follows EDL mark instructions regarding playback

order, skipping sections of recording on the memory

card, or repeating a section of recording on the

memory card.

Note:

If the EDL Play Menu item is at On and there are no

EDL marks on the CF card, playback is not available.

Switch the EDL Play Menu item to Off for playback.

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

2. Upon data request by CTS, the PMD570 responds

by setting RTS to H if not busy.

3. The host checks if CTS is H and stats data output

on TxD.

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

5. The PMD570 checks if CTS is H and sets RTS to L.

Status Informaton

Command

Host sends a command that causes no change in

PMD570 status. For example, Host requests Play

during Playback.

Status Request Commands from the host are received

by the PMD570, then the status information code is

transmitted to the host.

A change in the state of the PMD570 automatically

transmits a status information code to the host.

Control command codes

The control command packets have a data length of 7~10

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)

When transmitting commands consecutively, put more than

100ms blank between commands.

Status Request and Status Information codes :

The status data packets have a fixed data length of 8 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 delim-

iter.

Example: Status Information code "Door open"

(ASCII code @0DS01CR)

@02305CR

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

Recording time chart

The recording time available on a CF card depends on the size of the card in MB, the recording type (.mp3, .mp2 or PCM), the

bitrate of the recording and if recording in mono or stereo.

This Recording time chart lists approximate recording times based on those factors.

Troubleshooting

Should faults occur, it is in many cases not necessary

to consult your dealer or technical service department.

On the basis of the following checks, you will be able

to rectify a number of conditions yourself without

difficulty. If the condition cannot be remedied after the

following check, please consult your dealer or contact

Marantz Professional at 630 741 0330.

The PMD570 does not turn on

Check power cord and your home circuit breaker

The PMD570 seems to record but there is no sound on

playback

• check input settings (For example, if Bal.In input

is selected and no input is connected to the BAL-

ANCED IN jacks the PMD570 will record si-

lence.)

• is the amp on? Check to see if the correct input

has been selected.

The PMD570 will not playback

• check EDL Play Menu setting, if ON switch to

OFF

No audio playback through headphones

• check HEADPHONE-LEVEL control setting

• check a different track or CF card

The PMD570 will not record

• check that the maximum of 999 tracks have not

been recorded

• make sure that you have not filled up the CF card

with recordings based on time

• check that the PMD570 acknowledges the CF card

Excessive noise

• check cable connections and/or replace cables

• 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*

• be sure the PMD570 is set to the desired bitrate

*The PMD570 can record 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 if the files are MP2 or MP2 with a .wav file

extension Some PC’s cannot interpret this combi-

nation. Try renaming the MP2 file so it has a .mpg

file extension.

• check the capability of the PC program

Some playback and editing programs do not

support MP2/MP3 or Broadcast Wave (.bwf/.wav)

formats. Consult the Marantz Professional website

at www.d-mpro.com for links to programs that

support MP2/MP3 and Broadcast Wave Format.

Erratic behavior

• If the PMD570 exhibits erratic behavior, the

microprocessor can be reset by, powering off and

disconnecting AC power.

Care and Maintenance

Clean case with a slightly moistened soft cloth.

Media cards that are heavily used should be occasion-

ally reformatted to avoid audio problems due to

fragmentation.
