How to check a CF card (CARD CHECK)
Although rare, manufacturing defects in CF cards
occasionally prevent a CF card from being able
to read and write at the speeds required by the
PMD671. CARD CHECK does a sample read/
write to check if a CF card has problems. If a
CARD CHECK fails, you can usually return the
CF card for a replacement.

Note:
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.
