• marantz
• format 

Today i learnt how to set up a marantz audio system and format it. The first thing I did was plug the marantz in to the mains for power.When I turned it on the LED screen it came up with 000, this shows that there are no recordings on the marantz. But its still a good idea to format the marantz when you get it. You do this by pressing    edit and shift at the same time and it comes up with different  menus, you can scroll across the menus by pressing  fast-forward until you get to the one you want.There are two mic ports at the bottom of the marantz that you plug any mic you want in e.g. microphone, gunmic ect. Microphones are mainly used for interviews and quick set-ups. The gunmics are used for sounds in the distance all you need to do is point at the sound and record.The headphone jack is on the side so you can play back what you recorded.The marantz can also hold up to 35 hours of recordings at different qualities.
