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.

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 : seconds

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.
