Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Marantz Professional PMD661 Portable Solid State Recorder.

The PMD661 is an audio recorder that records in digital audio formats onto an SD (Secure Digital) card.

SD cards, also used in digital cameras, are widely available at consumer electronics retailers and computer resellers.

Features

• Stereo (2 channels) and mono (1 channel) audio recording and playback.
  • Audio inputs maybe from :

- the built-in microphone(s),

• condenser or dynamic microphone(s) connected to the XLR stereo jacks, or
  – line level audio sources connected to the XLR jacks or LINE 2 jack.

• Audio outputs may be from :

• the built-in speakers,
  – headphones connected to the PHONES jack, or
  – analog audio devices such as an amplifier or other devices connected to the LINE OUT jack.

• Records onto various types of SD cards.
- Computer compatible

The PMD661 records directly onto SD cards.

Recordings can be transferred to your desktop or laptop computer by removing the SD card from the PMD661 or by connecting the PMD661 to your computer via the USB port. Audio recorded in the

popular MP3 compression format is directly available for intranet or internet file sharing.

• Easy one control recording Simply push the REC button.
• Automatic recording The PMD661 can be set to stop recording when there is silence (Silent Skip) and automatically start when sound resumes.
• Manual and automatic record level control (ALC).

Microphone(s)

- Attenuator

The microphone attenuation switch permits the direct use of microphones that differ in sensitivity.

• 0dB : No microphone attenuation.
• -6dB : Input from a microphone(s) connected to the MIC jack is cut by 6dB.
• -12dB : Input from a microphone(s) connected to the MIC jack is cut by 12dB.
• -18dB : Input from a microphone(s) connected to the MIC jack is cut by 18dB.

Setup the "Mic Atten." of the preset menu. (P.45)

- Phantom Power

Slide the PHANTOM/MIC switch to on to provide +48V of power for a condenser microphone(s).

ON : +48V is supplied to power condenser microphone(s).

OFF : No microphone power is supplied.

Microphone recommendations

Professional condenser microphone(s) (which require additional power from either the PMD661's phantom power or from another source) are recommended because they provide greater sensitivity and higher quality audio recording.

Dynamic microphone(s) can be used, but they do not yield optimum audio quality recordings in some applications.

Consult with your local dealer to select the appropriate microphone(s) for your specific application. In many cases, they can demonstrate the various performances and characteristics of microphones for your use.

Pre Record

When PreRecord is on and the PMD661 is in record pause, it listens to the selected audio input(s) and continuously buffers 2 seconds of audio. Then, when record is started, the PMD661 writes the previously buffered 2 seconds of audio to the card and continues to record from there.

Setup the "PreRecord" of the preset menu. (P.44)

Audio Filter

Low Cut Filter

The bass region of the input audio is cut as the audio is recorded. Set to On to reduce noise, such as the sound of the wind when recording outdoors.

Setup the "Low Cut" of the preset menu. (P.45)

High Cut Filter

The treble region of the input audio is cut as the audio is recorded. Set to On to reduce high frequency noise from the ambient environment.

Setup the "High Cut" of the preset menu. (P.45)

Silent Skip

The Silent Skip automatically pauses recording when there is a period of silence and resumes recording when sound resumes.

"Silent Skip" menu setting permits:

- Adjusting the margin sound level that defines silence in Off, -60dB, -54dB, -38dB, -20dB.

Setup the "Silent Skip" of the preset menu. (P.45)

Manual Track

When the Manual Track (Manual Track incrementing) is on during recording, press the FUNCTION button until "TR" appears on the display, then press the ☐(F1: TR) button to increment the audio file. A new audio file is created at that point. The continuity of sound is not guaranteed and depends on the speed of a card or the audio file size.

Auto Track

With the Auto Track (Automatic Track incrementing) On, a new audio file is begun automatically at specified intervals of recording time. The Auto Track can be set to increment every 1, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes, or every 1, 2, 6, 8, 12 or 24 hours. The Auto Track makes finding a particular point in a recording easier. For example, if a new audio file begins every minute during playback, the Auto Track makes finding a particular passage easier because of the relationship between file numbers and time. During playback, you can select file number 3 to play approximately the 3rd minute of recording. To go directly to the beginning of the 10th minute, select file number 10, etc.

	Recording	time
#	minutes	:
001	0:00 – 0:59
002	1:00 – 1:59
003	2:00 – 2:59

The continuity of sound is not guaranteed and depends on the speed of a card or the file size.

Diagram of file structure

A folder (directory) titled MPGLANG1 (Default) will appear on your computer. Files within the MPGLANG1 folder are numbered from aaaaaa001 through the number of files recorded to a maximum of aaaaaa999. ("aaaaa" depends on the Machine ID parameter.)

The default setting of the Machine ID is "1". The file extension will be .MP3 or .WAV depending on the "Rec Format" parameter that is set for the recording.

Root

Changes made to file names or structures on your computer will prevent file recognition and playback in the PMD661.

Machine ID

An audio file created by the PMD661 has Machine ID information. The information is included in a file name. For example, if the Machine ID is "1", the first file is numbered "1001.WAV" or "1001.MP3". Setup the "Machine ID" of the preset menu. (P.47)

Troubleshooting

Should problems occur, it is often unnecessary to consult your dealer or technical service department. On the basis of the following checks, you may be able to rectify a number of conditions yourself without difficulty. If the condition cannot be remedied after the following check, please consult your dealer.

The PMD661 does not turn on.

• Install fresh batteries.
- Check AC adapter connections.

The PMD661 turns on then turns itself off.

• Install fresh batteries.

The PMD661 seems to record, but there is no sound on playback.

- Check input settings.

(For example, if LINE input is selected and no input is connected to the LINE jack, the PMD661 will record silence. The PMD661 will not playback.)

There is no audio playback through headphones or internal speaker.

• Check VOL+/- control setting.
• Check a different audio file or the card.

The PMD661 will not record.

• Check that the maximum of 999 files have not been recorded.
• Check that the PMD661 acknowledges the card.

No signal from microphone input.

• Check input selection.
• Check REC LEVEL control settings.
• Check if microphone(s) require(s) Phantom power.

There is excessive noise on the PMD661.

• Check cable connections and/or replace cable.
• Check for proper gain levels.

Playback on a PC results in poor sound.

• Check quality of PC sound card and program.
• Check frequency conversion program.*
  * The PMD661 records audio files with a sampling frequency of 48kHz. Some PC programs convert the files to 44.1kHz (using a sample rate converter). Only high quality sample rate converters should be used.

PC cannot read files

- Check the capability of the PC program. Some playback and editing programs do not support MP3 or Broadcast Wave (.wav) formats.

If the PMD661 exhibits erratic behavior, the microprocessor can be reset by powering off, disconnecting AC power and removing batteries.

Care and Maintenance

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution.

Media cards that are heavily used should be occasionally reformatted to avoid audio problems due to fragmentation.
