    Time code slot cover sync port The audio input circuitry is the essentially the same as on Lectrosonics SM and L Series transmitters. Any microphone wired as Lectrosonics “compatible” or “servo bias” will work with the PDR. (See manual for details.)

  • Page 4: Battery Installation

    The audio recorder is powered by a single AAA lithium battery, offering over six hours of operation. We recommend using lithium batteries for longest life. NOTE: Although alkaline batteries will work in the PDR, we strongly recommend that they be used only for short-term testing. For any actual production use, we recommend the use of disposable lithium AAA batteries.

  • Page 6: Formatting The Sd Card

    In short - there should be NO manipulation of the data on the card or addi- tion of data to the card with anything other than a PDR. Copy the files to a computer, thumb drive, hard drive etc that has been formatted as a regular OS device FIRST - then you can edit freely.

  • Page 10 Use Clock Choose to use the clock provided in the PDR as opposed to a timecode source. Set the clock in the Settings Menu, Date & Time on page 9. NOTE: The PDR time clock and calendar (RTCC) cannot be relied on as an accurate time code source.
  • Page 11 Use UP and DOWN arrows to adjust headphone volume. Scene & Take Each time recording is started, the PDR automatically begins a new take. Takes can run up to 999. The scene numbers can be manually entered and are limited to 99.
  • Page 12 NOTE: See Mic Level. Bit Depth PDR defaults to 24-bit format recording, which is a more effecient space sav- ing format. 32-bit is available if your editing software is older and won’t accept 24-bit. (32-bit is actually 24-bit padded with zeros, so more space is taken up the card.)

  • Page 13: Available Recording Time

    Choose either Alkaline or Lithium battery type. The voltage of the installed battery will be shown at the bottom of the display. NOTE: Although alkaline batteries will work in the PDR, we strongly recommend that they be used only for short-term testing. For any actual production use, we recommend the use of disposable lithium AAA batteries.
