Introduction
Thank you for selecting the Marantz Professional PMD660
ENGLISH
Portable Solid State Recorder.
The PMD660 is an audio recorder that records in digital
audio formats onto a Compact Flash™ memory card (CF
card) or Microdrive™.
CF 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.
• Computer compatible
The PMD660 records directly onto CF cards.
Recordings can be transferred to your desktop or laptop
computer by removing the CF card from the PMD660 or
by connecting the PMD660 to your computer via the
USB port. Audio recorded in the popular MP3
compression format is directly available for intranet or
internet file sharing.
• An editing program (Marantz Professional’s PMDEdit
application software, available from Marantz
Professional for PC users) lets you convert and edit
audio files that were recorded on the PMD660.
• MS-DOS™ and Windows compatible file system.
• Audio inputs may be from :
• the built-in microphone(s),
• condenser or dynamic microphone(s) connected to
the MIC IN jacks, or
• line level audio sources connected to the LINE IN jack.
• Audio outputs may be from :
• the built-in speaker,
• 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 CF cards.
(Please refer to the Marantz Professional web site
www.d-mpro.com for what kind of media are
recommended.)

• Easy one control recording
Simply push the REC button.
• Automatic recording
The PMD660 can be set to stop recording when there is
silence (Silent Skip) and automatically start when sound
resumes. The PMD660 can be set to automatically add
an EDL mark to the track at each such starting point.
• Manual and automatic record level control (ALC).
• Two different recording formats :
• Compressed recording using MPEG1 Layer III (MP3)
mono and stereo.
• MP3 compressed at 128kbps (stereo) or 64kbps (mono).
• Uncompressed recording using 16-bit linear Pulse
Code Modulation (PCM).
• Security – CF cards
For security, the CF card compartment door can be
secured with a screw. Requiring a tool to open the CF
card compartment reduces casual removal of the CF
card.
• Pre-Recording memory buffer records 2 seconds of
audio before recording is started.
• Playback aids
A common problem with lengthy voice or other
recordings is difficulty in locating one or more specific
passages for playback. The PMD660 has several ways
to mark specific record starting points.
• Tracks
• A new track (file) is automatically started each time
you begin a recording.
• It is not possible to record over a previously recorded
track unless it is first erased.
• An Auto Track feature can add tracks every minute or
other selected recording intervals. (Minute track:
Setting the interval to one minute provides a new
track every minute of a recording. This permits
navigation of a large audio recording by time.)
• A new track can be started during recording by
pressing the REC button (if the "Manual Trk" preset is
turned On).
• EDL marks*
EDL (Edit Decision List) marks can be created during
recording manually or automatically. EDL marks help
you find specific points in the recording.
• During playback, you can instantly locate EDL marks.
• Up to 255 EDL marks can be added to a CF card.
EDL marks are numbered consecutively starting at
one. During recording, you can manually add an EDL
mark by pushing the MARK button. EDL marks can
also be added automatically.
* The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz Professional
solid state recorders.
• Virtual Track
Virtual Track allows you to set an in point and an out
point within a file for later immediate playback access.
• 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 track(file) by
setting an in point and an out point, and then paste that
section into a new track(file) without destroying the
original track(file).
• Setup
Three menu selectable Presets make it easy to switch
between your commonly used input, recording format
and other menu selections.
• Time / Date stamp
A built-in date and time generator marks (stamps) the
beginning of each track.
• There are three ways to power the PMD660 ;
• Included AC adapter.
• AA Alkaline batteries (~ 4 hours).
• Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.
• REMOTE jack for optional Marantz Model RC600PMD permits
a wired remote for controlling the recording process.
