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.  
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.  
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.  
• 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:  
On your computer you can then:  
• log and archive audio files  
• play audio files  
• Start Pause: pause and resume  
• StrtPausTR: restart after pause while recording  
initiates a new track  
• save audio files to:  
• your hard drive  
• 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)  
• a floppy  
• a CD-R disc  
• post streaming audio files on your web site  
• use software and your computer to transcribe  
digital recordings  
Security - CF cards  
• 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.  
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  
Setup  
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.  
• 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-  
LOG IN RCA jacks, or  
• digital audio sources in SPDIF format connected  
to the DIGITAL IN jack.  
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.

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  
button.  
MARK  
• EDL marks can also be added automatically.  
• Marantz Professional's PMDEdit application

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

RecFormat  
File Format  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Chart of RecFormat Parameters  
The PMD570 parameter menu settings are extensive  
but limited to plausible combinations.  
This table of parameters reflects the menu setting  
sequence.  
RecFormat parameters:

Channels

channels of recording) or mono (one channel of  
recording). Set to match your inputs.

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.

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.

Pre Record  
Auto Mark  
The Auto Mark Menu item turns the automatic EDL  
mark feature on or off. See page 19 to manually add  
EDL marks.  
When PreRecord is on and the PMD570 is in record  
pause, it 'listens to' the selected audio input(s) and  
continuously buffers 2 seconds of audio. When record-  
ing begins the 2 second pre record buffer is written at  
the beginning of the new track. The 2 seconds give you  
time to precisely start recording without missing the  
first seconds of audio.  
When On, during recording, a record pause (pushing  
and releasing the Play/Pause button  
, then pushing  
and releasing the Record button to resume record-  
ing) automatically adds an EDL mark.  
Default setting is Off.

Manual TR  
Auto Trk  
When Manual track incrementing is On, during  
recording push and release the Record button to  
increment the track. A new track is created at that  
point. A slight break can be heard during playback. See  
Seamless Play, page 33, to eliminate the audio break  
during playback.  
With Auto Trk (Automatic Track incrementing) On,  
new track is begun automatically at specified intervals  
of recording time.  
Automatic Tracks are silent. Playback across an  
Automatic Track does not produce any sound.  
When Manual track incrementing is Off, pushing and  
releasing the Record button during recording does  
nothing.  
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.  
Minute track  
Default setting is On.  
Automatic Tracks make finding a particular point in a  
recording easier. For example if a new track is begun  
every minute. During playback the Minute Tracks  
make 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.  
1. From stop push and release the MENU/STORE

I/O port  
PMDEdit is a full featured software suite designed for  
Marantz Professional digital recorders available for  
purchase at www.d-mpro.com.  
What will appear on your computer is a file titled  
PMD670.EDL* and a folder (directory) titled  
MPGLANG1. Files within the MPGLANG1 folder  
are numbered from 1001 through the number of tracks  
recorded to a maximum of 1999. The file extension  
will be .mp3, .wav, .bwf or .mpg depending on the  
RecFormat parameters that were set for the recording.  
The CF card in the PMD570 is a Windows formatted  
PC compatible CF card. The CF card can be removed  
from the PMD570 and read by a computer with a  
compatible CF card slot, or, using an I/O cable connec-  
tion between the PMD570 I/O jack and your  
computer's I/O port the CF card can remain in the  
PMD570 and appear as a drive on your computer.  
How to connect via the I/O port  
*PMD670 is used to insure compatibility between PMD670  
and PMD570 PMDEdit operations.  
1. Connect a cable to the PMD570 I/O jack and your  
computer's I/O port.  
Diagram of file structure (assuming .mp3 files).  
Changes made to file names or file structure made on  
your computer will prevent file recognition and  
therefore playback in the PMD570.

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.  
Host sends a command that causes a change in  
PMD570 status.

Troubleshooting  
PC cannot read files  
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.  
• 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.  
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.)  
Erratic behavior  
• If the PMD570 exhibits erratic behavior, the  
microprocessor can be reset by, powering off and  
disconnecting AC power.  
• is the amp on? Check to see if the correct input  
has been selected.  
Care and Maintenance  
Clean case with a slightly moistened soft cloth.  
The PMD570 will not playback  
• check EDL Play Menu setting, if ON switch to  
OFF  
Media cards that are heavily used should be occasion-  
ally reformatted to avoid audio problems due to  
fragmentation.  
Error Messages
