Computer compatible  
Hint:  
The PMD671 records directly onto CF cards.  
Recordings can be transferred to your desktop or  
laptop computer by removing the CF card from  
the PMD671. You may also use the supplied cable  
to connect the PMD671 to your computer via the  
USB port. Audio recorded in the popular MP3  
compression format is directly available for intra-  
net or internet file sharing.  
When making major changes to your recording setup,  
we suggest the following procedure:  
1. Identify the appropriate input device (internal  
microphone, microphone(s), Line input, Digital  
input).  
2. Select the input menu choice corresponding to  
your input device selection. (See page 17.)  
3. If necessary, set or change the Rec Format  
parameters for your recording situation. (See  
page 30.)  
You can:  
• log and archive audio files  
- 10 -  
• play audio files on your computer  
• save audio files to:  
making 24 bit recordings. Simultaneous availability depends  
on recording conditions. See page 14.  
• your hard drive  
• a floppy  
• Security – CF cards  
For added security, the CF card compartment  
door can be secured with a screw. This is  
especially recommended if you transfer audio  
files via the USB cable.  
• a CD-R disc  
• post streaming audio files on your web site  
• use software and your computer to transcribe  
digital recordings  
An editing program (PMDEdit, available from  
Marantz Professional for PC users) lets you  
convert and edit audio files that were recorded  
on the PMD671.  
• Security – Input settings  
After you have set up the input settings* for  
your application, the settings can be set to ON  
with the INPUT LOCK switch.  
Presets  
The PMD671 has three selectable Presets for  
commonly used recording situations.  
Preset 1, MP3 Stereo using your microphones,  
for recording with relatively small files.  
Preset 2, MP3 Mono using the internal micro-  
phone, for recording meetings or voice with very  
small files.  
As an added precaution, the input setting  
switches (including the ability to change input  
devices) can be protected with the supplied  
screw-on cover preventing unintentional  
changes.  
*Settings for recording meetings for example, will usually be  
the same from meeting to meeting.  
Preset 3, PCM Stereo using your microphones,  
for very high quality audio recording.  
Voice recording  
• Security – recording  
The PMD671 has several helpful features for  
voice recording in situations such as meetings,  
conferences or other events.  
The PMD671 has several security features, not  
previously available on Marantz Professional  
digital recorders, that confirm recording is  
accurately written to the CF card.  
• Use less memory (longer recording time)  
For voice recording, the recording quality level  
(bit rate recorded and/or sampling frequency)  
can be set to the lowest levels. This permits  
more time recorded on the CF card.  
• Verify  
Verify is electronic file verification. When  
turned on in the Preset menu, Verify runs a  
check between the audio at the source and  
information written to the CF card.  
• Easy recording  
One control begins recording. Simply slide and  
release the red REC switch.  
• RAW  
RAW (Read After Write / VTH - Virtual Third  
Head) digitally mimics the third head of a  
three head tape deck. While recording, audio  
at the PMD671's outputs is audio that has  
already been written to the CF card. With  
about a 2 second delay, you can listen to the  
audio written to the CF card, monitoring that  
recording is actually taking place.  
Playback aids  
A common problem with lengthy voice or other  
recordings is difficulty in locating one or more  
specific passages for playback. The PMD671  
has several ways to mark or tag specific record  
starting points.  
• Date and time  
A built-in date and time generator marks the  
beginning of each track.  
• Time Shift Playback  
Time Shift Playback allows you to listen to  
audio from anywhere on the CF card while  
simultaneously recording the current source.  
• Tracks  
An audio recording is called a "track" when on  
the PMD671 and an audio "file" when on your  
computer.  
Note:  
These recording security features are not available when  
- 11 -  
Features  
Tracks are numbered from 01 to a maximum of  
999.  
• 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 a list of  
recommended cards.)  
• Two different recording formats:  
• Compressed recording using MPEG1 Layer  
II (MP2) or MPEG1 Layer III (MP3) mono  
and stereo.  
A new track (file) is automatically started each  
time recording is stopped using the STOP  
button.  
Using the "Auto TRK" feature, PMD671 can be  
set to start a new track at specific time intervals  
during recording (for example every minute).  
Using the "Manual TR" feature, you can start a  
new track during recording by sliding and releas-  
ing the REC switch.  
• Uncompressed recording using 16-bit or 24-  
bit linear Pulse Code Modulation (PCM).  
16-bit 44.1kHz PCM recordings are standard  
CD quality.  
24-bit 96kHz PCM recordings are high  
quality recordings used in professional audio  
and film studios.  
• Automatic recording  
The PMD671 can be set to stop recording when  
there is silence (SilentSkp feature) and auto-  
matically start when sound resumes. The  
PMD671 can be set to automatically add an  
EDL mark (Auto Mark feature) to the track at  
each such starting point.  
• MS-DOS™ and Windows compatible file  
system.  
• Selectable file types:  
• Wave (.wav)  
• EDL marks*  
EDL (Edit Decision List) marks can be created  
during recording manually or automatically. EDL  
marks help you find those specific points in the  
recording.  
• Broadcast Wave Format (.bwf or .wav)  
• MP2 (.mpg)/MP3 (.mp3).  
• Recording bit rate is selectable:  
• .mpg/mp3 compressed at 32kbps (recom-  
mended for dictation),  
*The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz Profes-  
sional solid state recorders.  
32, 48 or 64kbps (recommended for voice  
recording), or  
128 or 192 kbps (recommended for recording  
music)  
• During playback, you can search for EDL  
marks in forward or reverse.  
• You can change an EDL mark into a skip mark  
or an A-B repeating point. That option allows  
you to create custom playback sequences  
which include skipping or repeating audio  
between EDL marks.  
• PCM (.wav) uncompressed (very high quality  
mono audio recording)  
• PCM (.wav) uncompressed 24 bit/96kHz  
(stereo) (recommended for very high quality  
audio recording)  
• Manual, manual with limiter and automatic  
record level control (ALC).  
• An ANC (Ambient Noise Cancel) switch for  
reducing unwanted background noise.  
• Electronic 'Read After Write' monitoring (time  
shift) feature.  
• Automatic electronic file verification feature  
(Verify).  
• CF card compatibility check feature (Card  
Check).  
• 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  
MARK. EDL marks can be added automati-  
cally, for example, at the beginning of each  
track.  
• PMDEdit computer software is specifically  
designed for the PMD671. PMDEdit recog-  
nizes EDL marks generated by the PMD671.  
This is especially useful for editing audio files  
on your PC. Visit www.d-mpro.com for more  
information.  
• Pre-Recording memory buffer that records 2 to  
4 seconds* of audio before recording is  
started.  
*Normally 4 seconds. Depends on Rec Format settings.  
• Portions of multiple recordings can be played  
back in sequence using EDL marks.

• There are four ways to power the PMD671:  
• Included AC adapter  
• AA Alkaline batteries (~ 5 hours @ 1450 mAh  
usage)  
When first powered up, the PMD671 takes some  
time to initialize.

head tape deck. When on and the PMD671 is  
recording, the audio that is output to the LINE  
OUT, DIGI OUT, PHONES and SPEAKER is  
audio that has already been written to the CF card  
and not audio from the source. This allows you to  
actually listen to audio written to the CF card,  
monitoring that the recording is actually taking  
place. When RAW is off, the audio to the LINE

actually the source you are recording.  
can press and release the -/F.REV button  
to  
search back through and play the file that is being  
recorded (to the point you began the Time Shift).  
Audio played back through the headphones can  
be anywhere on the CF card. You can use the  
TRACK JUMP reverse  
or TRACK JUMP  
forward buttons to change tracks.  
Press and release the PLAY/PAUSE button  
to return to monitoring the current recording.  
Time Shift (Time Shift Playback)  
Time Shift Playback works just like RAW, in that it  
monitors audio that has already been recorded to  
the CF card. However, Time Shift allows you the  
ability to listen to audio from anywhere on the  
card while simultaneously recording the current  
audio source.  
Notes:  
•
In some instances, Verify and RAW or Time Shift are  
available simultaneously (see charts below).  
When using RAW (Read After Write) to monitor informa-  
tion already written to the CF card, the audio played  
back will be about 2 seconds behind current events.  
RAW and Time Shift are only available individually.  
Never at the same time.  
Not available when making 24-bit recordings. RAW  
and Time Shift are not available when making 24-bit

(Time Shift Playback) in the following circum-  
stances:  
•
Active level meters verify that an audio source is being  
received by the PMD671.  
•
Another way to verify that audio is being recorded is to  
turn on the VERIFY menu choice (see page 35). When  
VERIFY is ON, the PMD671 constantly compares the  
recorded information to the source input. It verifies that  
the file written to the card is exactly what was input.  
MONITOR is not available in 24 bit recording, or  
available for MP2.  
MONITOR is available for 16 bit PCM recording and

Ambient Noise Cancel positions do not change

ambient noise sources include: traffic, air condi-  
tioning hum and wind noise.  
ALC: At ALC (Automatic Level Control = Auto-  
matic Gain Control), the PMD671 automatically  
responds to changes in input level. If recording is  
quiet, the input level is increased. If recording is  
loud, the input level is decreased. This is a desir-  
able feature when recording a meeting with  
several speakers. A speaker close to the micro-  
phone and/or with a loud voice will be automati-  
cally recorded at a reduced level and a quiet  
speaker will be recorded at an increased level.  
Both will be less likely to have their input missed.  
:
Band pass position reduces the lows and  
highs and passes (records) the center (voice  
level) audio frequencies. This reduces the re-  
cording of high and low frequency ambient noise.

(voice or instrument) because the transitions in  
input level may be audible in the recording. ALC  
can also make the recording ‘hissy’ by raising the  
level during quiet passages and recording ambi-  
ent noise.

Mono audio input from the internal microphone is  
recorded on the Left Channel, and the same  
audio input is recorded on the Right Channel as a  
"stereo" file.  
*The stereo or mono mode displayed and recorded depends  
on the St Mode and Mono Mode menu settings.  
Note:  
The PMD671 'listens' only to the selected input. For example  
if the input selected is LINE input, and no input source is  
connected to the LINE IN jacks, the PMD671 will record  
silence.

Audio input from the L LINE IN jack is recorded  
on the Left channel.  
Audio input from the R LINE IN jack is recorded

What the input selections do:  
Selects the input device(s)  
Digi-IN  
The input selection allows you to choose which  
input(s) the PMD671 uses for recording. You  
must select the Preset parameters that are  
appropriate to the input. The PMD671 will  
record with the Rec parameters you select, even  
if they are inappropriate for the input. You can  
use the default Presets for a quick and easy way  
to set up for recording. Use Preset 1 for Stereo  
recording using mic or line inputs.  
Digital audio data at 44.1kHz, 48kHz or 96kHz  
input through the DIGITAL IN jack can be re-  
corded. Digital input always includes two chan-

Note:  
CF cards with less than 2 GB capacity are auto-  
matically formatted FAT16 (FAT = File Allocation  
Table).  
The number times 2 equals the actual read and write speed  
in kbps. For the example card, the total speed of the  
PMD671 and CF card was thus 6646 kbps. To read and  
write audio at 24-bit 96 kHz requires at least 4680 kbps.  
CF cards with 2 - 8 GB capacity are automatically

The maximum CF card that can be formatted in  
the PMD671 is 8 GB. If larger cards are used,

As audio quality goes up (more bits, less com-  
pression, higher sampling frequency, greater bit  
rate), the amount of information recorded in-  
creases so the amount of time that can be re-  
corded on a CF card of a specific size goes  
down. See Recording time chart on page 57.

The RecFormat setting procedure is usually  
unnecessary for Digital Input. See page 34. The  
following applies to inputs from MIC, LINE IN,  
and the Internal mic.  
The PMD671 has a sizeable range of file format  
parameter choices available, but it does not  
present you with every possible combination.  
Channel(s)  
Your decisions about which File Format param-  
eters to use will depend on the quality level you  
need for the purpose(s) of your recording versus  
limitations in recording time.  
Choose between Stereo and Mono recording  
(two or one channel). For PCM recording, Stereo  
is about twice as time intensive as Mono.  
Format  
Note:  
Choose between PCM (16 or 24 bit) or a com-  
pression format (MP2 or MP3).  
At very high audio quality levels, processor power also  
becomes a limitation. The RAW (Read After Write) and Time  
Shift features are processor intensive, so in some instances  
the MONITOR and Verify features and 24-bit recording  
cannot be used simutaneously. See charts on page 14.  
Fs (Sampling Frequency)  
Choose the Sample Frequency (in kHz).  
The File Format chart below follows the PMD671  
File Format menu setting procedure as you read  
columns from left to right.  
Bit rate  
You can select a bit rate in kilobits per second  
(kbps) for a compression format (MP2 or MP3).  
Note  
File ext. (File extension)  
A full size copy of this chart is on page 58.

file extension.

An audio drop out of the monitoring signal may occur  
during RAW during high bit rate MP3 recording.  
RAW and 24-bit recording requires high CF card access  
speed (see CARD CHECK page 22).  
RAW is not available for 24-bit recording.  
Verify is simultaneously available with RAW or Time  
Shift for appropriate files (see charts on page 14).  
Most of the RecFormat parameters recorded  
from a digital input source are determined by the  
input source. They are not changed because of  
settings made in the RecFormat menu.

the EDL file is missing or damaged the PMD671  
will be unable to recognize recorded tracks.  
However, audio files from your computer that are  
renamed using the file names and file structure

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

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Should faults occur, it is often unnecessary to consult  
your dealer or technical service department. On the  
basis of the following checks, you may be able to  
rectify a number of conditions yourself without diffi-  
culty. If the condition cannot be remedied after the  
following check, please consult your dealer or contact  
Marantz Professional toll free at (866) 405-2154.  
PC cannot read files  
• check if the files are MP2 or MP2 with a .wav file  
extension. Some PC's cannot interpret this  
combination. Try renaming the MP2 file so it has  
a .mp2 or .mp3 file extension.  
• check the capability of the PC program  
Some playback and editing programs do not  
support MP2/MP3, Broadcast Wave (.bwf) or 24-  
bit formats. Consult the Marantz Professional web  
site at www.d-mpro.com for links to programs that  
support MP2/MP3 and Broadcast Wave Format.  
The PMD671 does not turn on  
Check power  
• install fresh batteries  
• check AC adaptor connections  
The PMD671 turns on then turns itself off  
• install fresh batteries  
The rechargeable battery is not recharging  
• check that the CHARGE indicator is lit and steady  
during charging and off when charging is com-

• check that Power is turned off on the PMD671  
The PMD671 seems to record, but there is no sound  
on playback  
• check input setting (For example, if LINE input is  
selected and no input is connected to the LINE IN  
jacks, the PMD671 will record silence.)  
The PMD671 will not playback  
• check EDL switch, if ON switch to OFF  
The rechargeable battery life is low  
• make sure you fully charge and discharge the Ni-  
Cd battery during each charge cycle  
• replace battery  
No audio playback through headphones or internal  
speaker  
• check HP/SPK VOLUME control setting  
• check a different track or CF card  
Media cards that are heavily used should be occa-  
sionally reformatted to avoid audio problems due to  
fragmentation.  
The PMD671 will not record  
• try a different CF card  
• check that the maximum of 999 tracks have not  
been recorded  
• check that the PMD671 acknowledges the CF  
card  
If the PMD671 exhibits erratic behavior, the micropro-  
cessor can be reset by, powering off, disconnecting  
AC power and removing batteries.
