The audio input for recording is set from the Input menu.
Set the Rec Channel menu to Stereo to create a stereo (2-channel) sound file. Set it to D.Mono to create a “dual mono” sound file. In this mode, the left channel input is recorded to both left and right channels, but the right channel is attenuated by 20dB–useful in situations where an unexpected increase in sound level may distort the non-attenuated input. Set it to Mono to create a monaural (1- channel) sound file. Note that all Mono settings use the left channel input only. The monaural file will be almost half the size of the stereo file.
Set the Phantom/Mic slide switch to ON to supply +48V phantom power to condenser microphones, and adjust the level sensitivity. For dynamic microphones, set it to OFF to adjust the microphone level sensitivity. Set it to Line to select the input sensitivity of line level sources.

Attenuator
The microphone attenuation setting permits the direct use of microphones that differ in sensitivity.
•0 db: No microphone attenuation.
•-6 dB: Input from a microphone(s) connected to the Mic jack is cut by 6 dB.
•-12 dB: Input from a microphone(s) connected to the Mic jack is cut by 12 dB.
•-18 dB: Input from a microphone(s) connected to the Mic jack is cut by 18 dB. Setup Mic Atten. in the preset menu.
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.
Microhone Recommendations:
Professional condenser microphone(s) (which require additional power from either the PMD561’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 PMD561 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 PMD561 writes the previously buffered 2 seconds of audio to the card and continues to record from there.
Setup PreRecord in the preset menu.
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 Low Cut in the preset menu.
11
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 High Cut in the preset menu.
The Silent Skip function automatically pauses recording when there is a period of silence and resumes recording when sound resumes.
Silent Skip menu setting permits adjusting the sound level that defines silence as Off, –60dB, –54dB, –38dB, –20dB.

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.
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.
The continuity of sound is not guaranteed and depends on the speed of a card or the file size.
Setup Auto Track in the preset menu.
Note: New audio file starts automatically when the recorded file size reaches 4GB.
Copy Segment physically turns your “highlighted” section into a new and separate file, without destroying the original source file(s).

Notes:
•“_1” is added to the end of the file name of the new file. For example, the original file = “aaa.mp3”, the new file = “aaa_1.mp3”
•When a copy area spans across two or more files, the files are connected and copied.
•When the copy area spans across files of different Rec Format or Rec Channel settings, it cannot be copied.
•The copy area cannot exceed 80 minutes.
The file divide allows you to divide a file at the position you want to divide.
1.During playback, press the Function button until “DIV” appears on the display. Then press the F1 (Div) button.
“Divide?” appears on the display. Select No and press the Enter button to pause the playback.
2.Select Yes and press the Enter button to start the Divide process.
