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. + 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) Two different recording formats — Compressed recording using MP3 (MPEG1 Layer II) mono and stereo. MP3 compressed at 64/128/192/256/320 kbps. — Uncompressed recording using 16/24-bit linear Pulse Code Modulation (PCM). Copy Segment Copy Segment works just like the copy and paste function of your standard word processing program. It allows you to “highlight” a section of a file by setting an in point and an out point, and then paste that section into a new file without destroying the original file(s). Timer Recording/Playback Record start time and duration can be scheduled. Playback start time can be scheduled. (5 P.51) Data secured The recorded audio data until the recording stops is kept even if the power is interrupted suddenly during recording.

(13 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.

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. (8 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. (8 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) 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. (55 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 El (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.

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 8rd minute of recording. To go directly to the beginning of the 10th minute, select file number 10, etc. Recording time # minutes : seconds 001 _ _ 0:00 — 0:59
