Hey all,
So I bought a Marantz PMD670 off eBay in order to do DAT transfers. This has been such a pain in the ass... I have bought a shit ton of CF cards. I first tried a 16GB. I tried to format it on my Mac in FAT32 format. It wouldn't read in the Marantz. I keep getting "CardAccErr" when prompted. Thought I fixed the problem when I heard they only took 8GB cards... So I bought another one of those. Only to get the same results from formatting in FAT32... THEN. I went to be really safe and see with a 2GB card and that one doesn't read and just keeps saying "format on PC." WTF does that mean? I keep formatting it as a FAT drive. Do you think this machine is defected? I am really about to send this thing back.
I was thinking, maybe you have to be on a Windows computer in order to actually format these things. I've bought so many stupid adapters and CF cards at this point. It's pretty excessive. Thanks.
