RC-5 REMOTE CONTROL COMPATIBILITY

The PMD351 comes equipped with an RC-5 remote

in and out port. Through the use of various remote

control options the major functions of the unit can be

operated via wired or wireless remote control.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting the Marantz Professional

PMD351 combination Stereo Cassette Deck/CD

Player. Please read these operating instructions

carefully. We recommend that you read the entire

user guide prior to connecting and operating the unit.

It is also recommended that all connections be made

prior to operating the unit. Please refer to this manual

to identify controls and connections for operation of

the unit.

ONE-TOUCH DUBBING

The PMD351 allows for the dubbing of a CD to a

tape with one-button start control. This feature allows

you to manually or automatically select the recording

level you desire.

A-B REPEAT

OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

When setting up the equipment ensure that:

• air is allowed to circulate freely around the

equipment,

• the equipment is on a vibration free surface,

• the equipment will not be exposed to interference

from an external source,

• the equipment will not be exposed to excessive

heat, cold, moisture or dust,

• the equipment will not be exposed to direct

sunlight, and

• heavy objects are not placed on the equipment,

• the unit is not exposed to moisture. If so, do not

operate the unit until it has been thoroughly

inspected by a electrically competent technician.

• Do not disconnect AC power by pulling the power

cord. Remove from the outlet by pulling on the

plug only.

The PMD351 allows you to select two points within

the CD playback mode and repeat the audio play-

back within these points until a stop command is

issued.

LOCKABLE REM TRACK TIME MODE

The CD time display can be toggled between the

various modes of display. In addition, when a display

mode is set, the unit will remain in the selected mode

until you change it. This is particularly useful for

monitoring the audio during performances and

programs.

ONE-TRACK PLAY

The PMD351 can be set to allow for the CD player to

play the selected track and return to the stop mode

rather than continue on to the next track on the CD.

CD-R/CD-RW PLAY

In addition to conventional music CDs and CD-R

(recordable) discs, this player can also play CD-RW

(rewritable) discs. It can also play unfinalized discs

that cannot be played by regular CD players.

FEATURES

QUICK OPTICAL AUTO REVERSE

In addition to the normal tension reversing circuitry,

the PMD351 tape transport also employs optically

sensed quick auto reverse circuitry. This circuitry

reacts to the clear areas of the tape, usually the

leader tape, and when detected, will reverse the

direction of the tape transport. This process mini-

mizes the loss of signal being recorded or played

back. This reverse process applies to all tape play-

back and recording modes, including auto reverse

and continuous mode.

MP3

This player can play discs containing MP3 files.

AUTO QUE CD PLAY

The CD player on the PMD351 contains an Auto

Que feature. This feature allows the CD player to

advance to the beginning of the audio within the track

rather than start from the track start flag. This feature

helps to minimize the silence at the beginning of a

CD track playback.

TAPE AND CD PITCH CONTROL

DOLBY NR SYSTEMS

The PMD351 tape player and CD player both allow

for adjustment of the playback pitch from -12% to

+12%. The feature is particularly useful for adjusting

the unit playback pitch to allow you to tune the

PMD351 to accompanying instruments and choirs.

The Dolby Noise Reduction systems compress and

amplify the tape during recording in order to raise the

signal-to-noise ratio on the tape. During playback,

these signals are expanded and attenuated by the

same amount in order to regain the original dynamic

range of music. An additional result of this expansion

and attenuation is that the noise floor of the recording

is reduced significantly. Dolby B typically reduces

noise by 10dB. Dolby C typically reduces noise by

IR RECEIVER

The PMD351 is equipped with an IR receiver for use

with remote control Model RC330 (not supplied)

available from Marantz Professional.

20dB.

MEMO button

DOLBY HX PRO HEADROOM EXTENSION

The Dolby HX PRO system monitors the total amount

of effective bias during recording and instantaneously

compensates for any excess bias by reducing the

deck’s bias signal level accordingly. The system

operates independently on each channel. HX PRO is

unlike a noise reduction system because it functions

only during recording and no decoding is required.

Therefore a tape recorded with the HX PRO system

can be played back on any other cassette deck while

retaining the benefits of HX PRO.

CD players normally play only those discs on which

the TOC information* has been recorded. This means

that in order for a CD player to play a CD-R/CD-RW

disc with music recordings, the disc has to be "final-

ized" by writing the TOC information onto it.

PROGRAM PLAY

This procedure allows you to program selected tracks

for playback in the order you desire.

Discs for which this finalizing job has not been done

are called unfinalized discs. This player is designed to

play these unfinalized discs as well.

1. By pressing the PROGRAM button once, you will

place the CD player into the programming mode

for playback. Once the PROGRAM button is

pressed, the PROGRAM indicator in the CD

display will begin to flash. This indicates the CD

player is in the program entry mode.

*"TOC" stands for the table of contents which

contains the total number of tracks, the total play

time and other such information on the disc. This

information is recorded on the inner circumfer-

ence area of the disc.

CD button will

cause the CD player to skip to the beginning of

the previous track. When the desired track

number has been selected, leave the CD player

untouched for approximately 1.5 seconds and the

selected track will be stored in the playback

program. Continue this procedure until all desired

tracks (20 tracks maximum) have been pro-

grammed.

On unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs recorded using a

CD recorder for audio applications, provisional TOC

information is recorded in the PMA area* which is

further inside from the TOC information area. This

player supports unfinalized discs by reading the

information in the PMA area, but because this area is

extremely narrow, any scratches, dirt or other abnor-

malities here make it impossible for discs to be read.

3. By pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button

, the CD

player will exit the program entry mode and enter

the program play mode. The PROGRAM indicator

in the CD display will be lit and steady and the CD

player will begin to play in the order selected

during the programming.

On some discs, this area may be very difficult to read.

In cases like this, use the disc after using a CD

recorder to do the finalizing. It is recommended that

the finalizing be done before scratches or dirt makes it

hard for the discs to be read.

If there is not much recording time, it may be difficult

for the data to be read, and it may cause an error.

When the player is to play a CD-RW disc or

unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW disc, it automatically

recognizes the type of disc and changes some of its

internal settings to suit the disc concerned. For this

reason, the disc reading process will take a little

longer compared to regular music CDs or CD-R

discs.

Precautions for discs recorded using MP3

files

Concerning random play

Random play proceeds on an album by album (folder

by folder) basis. When all the tracks of the album

currently playing have been played, play moves on to

the next album in the sequence. During random play,

the 1-track repeat and A-B repeat functions cannot be

used.

The format of the files played have the “.mp3” or

“.MP3” extension. Files with any other extension

cannot be played.

•

The Joliet file system, an extension to the

ISO9660 file format, is supported as the write

format. Both mode 1 (CD-ROM) and mode 2

(CD-ROM XA) are supported. MP3 file discs

recorded using packet writing cannot be played.

•

CD TO TAPE DUBBING

The CD source can be dubbed directly onto the tape

deck by two means: manual recording or automatic

level control (ALC On). During manual record dub-

bing, the level desired is adjusted by manually

adjusting the record level control. After the desired

level is adjusted, you then release the tape deck to

record. During ALC dubbing, the record level is

adjusted automatically based on the peak levels of

the source and the tape deck enters the dubbing

mode automatically.

The recommended MP3 file sampling frequency is

44.1 kHz and the bit rate is 128 kbps. The sound

may be interrupted when playing files with any

other sampling frequency and bit rate.

•

The maximum number of characters in the ID3

tag information that can be displayed by this

player is 32. Characters other than alpha-

numerics will not be displayed properly.

Digital signals are not output from the player while

playing discs recorded using MP3 files.

•

MANUAL LEVEL TAPE DUBBING

1. By pressing the CD STOP/EJECT button and the

tape eject button you can load the CD to be

dubbed onto the CD tray and a recordable tape

into the tape transport. Gently press the front of

each mechanism to close them. The CD display

will register the general CD data and the tape

play indicator located inside of the tape PLAY

button will begin to flash.

It may not be possible for CD-R/CD-RW discs on

which MP3 files were recorded to be played

properly depending on the environment of the

personal computer used to record the files, the

writing software program, and the CD-R/CD-RW

discs concerned. Check the external components

used.

MP3 files on mixed CDs or enhanced CDs

containing a mixture of the CD-DA format for

music purposes and MP3 files cannot be played.

Only the CD-DA format for music purposes will be

played.

•

2. Prepare the tape for dubbing by rewinding it to

the beginning of the first side onto which the tape

is to be recorded.

3. Set the ALC switch to the OFF position.

This player also supports discs created by

multisessions.

•

4. Press the DUBB button once. The REC indicator

will begin to flash; the DUBB indicator will light;

and the CD player will enter play mode. At this

point, you can adjust the record level control to

achieve the desired record level.

It is recommended that the maximum number of

sessions on a CD-R or CD-RW disc be 10; the

maximum number of albums for all sessions be

20; and the maximum number of files be 200.

5. After adjusting the record level, press the DUBB

button again. The CD player will return to the stop

mode and the tape transport will enter into the

the tracks are dubbed in the order of which the original

playback was programmed. For assistance in pro-

gramming playback, see PROGRAM PLAY.

The CD peak level that is detected during ALC level

dubbing may vary from one recording to another;

however, the effect will be minimal. When recording

with the reverse mode control set to the two-way or

the continuous mode, there may be an interruption in

recording of approximately one second during the

optical reversing of the tape transport.

2. Assure that the “EXT” jack on the rear of all units

are connected. Starting with the first unit to

operate, connect the “EXT” out jack to the “EXT”

input on the second unit to operate. Continue this

set-up procedure until all units that are to operate

in the cascade mode have the “EXT” control jacks

linked in the cascade chain has completed

recording and entered the Stop mode.

ERASURE OF TAPE

6. To exit the cascade record mode, press the stop

control button of the source machine currently in

record mode.

When a program source is recorded onto a tape, the

previously recorded sound is erased automatically and

replaced with the new recording. If you wish to erase a

tape without recording, set the REC LEVEL control to

the minimum (counterclockwise) position and let the

tape travel in the Record mode.

Notes:

If all components have not been set up correctly (tape

or CD loaded, record pause armed, etc.) the cascade

function will stop upon reaching this source machine.

AUTO TAPE SELECTOR

This unit is equipped with an auto tape selector which

automatically sets the bias and equalizer level using

the detection holes provided in the cassette shell. The

bias and equalizer level are automatically set accord-

ing to the type of cassette as follows.

If the cascade function is started with the tape first, the

PMD351 will go to CD playback next and then to the

next component. If the playback is started with the CD

first, the PMD351 will play the CD then go to the next

component.

Metal tape

detection holes

Before beginning the cascade record function, hand

wind the tape leaders so that no leader is showing.

This will minimize interruptions in your recordings.

SYNCHRONIZED RECORDING CONTROL

The PMD351 is capable of connecting with other

Marantz RC-5 based products to allow for synchro-

nized start of the product recording through the

starting of the play function of the CD player or the

tape transport of the PMD351. By connecting the RC-

5 output jack to the RC-5 input jack of another

Marantz recorder, the PMD351 will issue a command

for the recording to start as soon as the play control

button is pressed on the PMD351. Pressing the stop

or the stop/eject control button on the PMD-source

deck will place the attached component into the

record/pause mode.
