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).
• Two different recording formats :
– Compressed recording using MP3 (MPEG1 Layer III) 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. (
• Data secured
The recorded audio data until the recording stops is kept even if
the power is interrupted suddenly during recording.

Safety cautions on handling batteries
Always follow the points below when using batteries to avoid
electrolyte leakage, overheating, fire, rupturing, ingestion, etc.
• Electrolyte leakage or corrosion may occur if batteries are kept
inside the recorder for prolonged periods of time. If the recorder
is not to be used for a prolonged period, remove the batteries to
prevent electrolyte leakage.
• Make sure that the + and – markings on the batteries are aligned
with the corresponding markings in the battery case and the
battery holder.

with new ones.
• If electrolyte has leaked, thoroughly wipe the inside of the battery
holder, and then insert new batteries.
