Marantz PMD660 Audio Recorder

Quick Start Guide

We suggest that you use one of the

recording presets (i.e. Preset 1).

Recording

To select presets, press menu button

once, use left or right track buttons

to navigate to desired preset, press

menu button once again, display

shows “Completed”.

Preset 1 – records with

internal mics, automatic level

control and .mp3 format.

Preset 2 – records with

external mic, manual level

control and .mp3 format.

To start, pause and stop recording, use the buttons located underneath the recorder’s display.

Note: every start/stop cycle creates a new file. Using the pause button does not create a new

file.

There is a wired-remote control for recording. It works well and is highly recommended.

Transferring files

1. With recorder power off,

connect USB cable from

recorder to computer and

connect DC power cable

(AC to power supply, power

supply to recorder).

2. Push and hold down the

COPY/USB button while you

turn on the recorder (USB is

shown in recorder display).

3. The recorder will appear in the My Computer window just like a flash drive.

When finished, remove like a flash drive using icon in Windows Taskbar.

The audio files are in a folder called MPGLANG1. Copy the files to the computer and, to be

safe, make BACKUP files immediately. Please note: when the recorder is returned to Leavey,

all audio files will be erased as part of the check-in procedure.

•A good distance for recording voice in your interview will be about 1-3 ft. from the source.

•The mic is directional, which means it captures sound best when you point it directly at the

sound source (directly at one’s mouth, for instance).

Tips for using the external microphone

•When recording with only one

microphone, the cable from the

mic should be inserted into the

MONO (left) jack.

•When recording to MP3 format using the external mic, be sure to check that you have set

the recorder to Preset 2, or else the recorder will not use the external mic.

•Check the recording levels with

the meters located on the end of

the recorder next to the REC

LEVEL controls. You will want

the meters to move between the

middle and close to the right

end, but not into the OVER level.
