– Computer compatible  
– Copy Segment  
The PMD620 records directly onto SD cards.  
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).  
Recordings can be transferred to your desktop or laptop  
computer by removing the SD card from the PMD620 or by  
connecting the PMD620 to your computer via the USB port.  
Audio recorded in the popular MP3 compression format is  
directly available for intranet or internet file sharing.  
MS-DOS™ and Windows compatible file system.  
– Data secured  
The recorded audio data until the recording stops is kept even  
if the power is interrupted suddenly during recording.  
– Easy one control recording  
Simply press the REC button.  
– Automatic recording  
The PMD620 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).  
– Different recording formats :  
• Compressed recording using MP3 (MPEG1 Layer III) mono  
and stereo. MP3 compressed at 64/128/192kbps (Stereo) or  
32/64/96kbps (Mono).  
• Uncompressed recording using 16/24-bit linear PCM (Pulse  
Code Modulation).

Safety cautions on handling batteries  
Battery remaining indicator  
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.  
The recorder operates using commercially available AA size  
alkaline or Ni-MH batteries. During operation, the battery  
remaining indicator is as follows.  
Indicator  
Meaning  
There is still ample battery power remaining.  
The amount of battery power remaining has decreased  
to approximately half.  
• Do not insert old or exhausted batteries into the recorder.  
• Do not mix the type of battery, and do not use both old and new  
batteries together.  
• If the recorder does not operate correctly, replace the old  
batteries with new ones.  
Only a small amount of battery power remaining.  
There is not enough battery power remaining to record  
or playback. Either replace the batteries with new ones,  
or recharge the rechargeable batteries.  
• If electrolyte has leaked, thoroughly wipe the inside of the  
battery holder, and then insert new batteries.  
If you continue recording while this indicator is flashing,  
recording/playback will stop, and the recorder will shut  
down.

Advanced Features  
Microphone recommendations  
Microphone(s)  
Professional condenser microphone(s) (which require additional  
power from either the PMD620’s phantom power or from another  
source) are recommended because they provide greater  
sensitivity and higher quality audio recording.  
– Attenuator  
The microphone attenuation switch permits the direct use of  
microphones that differ in sensitivity.  
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.  
• 0dB : No microphone attenuation.  
• –12dB: Input from a microphone(s) connected to the MIC  
jack is cut by 12dB.  
• –24dB: Input from a microphone(s) connected to the MIC  
jack is cut by 24dB.  
Setup the “Mic Attenuator” of the preset menu.  
(

P.51)  
– Mic Power  
Switch “Mic Power” setting to On to provide +5V of power for a  
condenser microphone(s).  
On : +5V is supplied to power condenser microphone(s).  
Off : No microphone power is supplied.  
Setup the “Mic Power” of the preset menu. ( P.52)

Low Cut Filter  
Auto Track  
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.  
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.  
Setup the “Low Cut” of the preset menu. (  
P.52)

Silent Skip  
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,

Troubleshooting  
Should problems occur, it is often unnecessary to consult  
your dealer or technical service department. On the basis of  
the following checks, you may be able to rectify a number of  
conditions yourself without difficulty. If the condition cannot be  
remedied after the following check, please consult your dealer.  
There is excessive noise on the PMD620.  
• Check cable connections and/or replace cable.  
• Check for proper gain levels.  
Playback on a PC results in poor sound.  
• Check quality of PC sound card and program.  
• Check frequency conversion program.*  
The PMD620 does not turn on.  
• Install fresh batteries.  
• Check AC adapter connections.  
* The PMD620 records audio files with a sampling frequency  
of 48kHz. Some PC programs convert the files to 44.1kHz  
(using a sample rate converter). Only high quality sample rate  
converters should be used.  
The PMD620 turns on then turns itself off.  
• Install fresh batteries.  
PC cannot read files  
The PMD620 seems to record, but there is no sound on  
playback.  
• Check the capability of the PC program. Some playback and  
editing programs do not support MP3 or Broadcast Wave  
(.wav) formats.  
• Check input settings.  
(For example, if LINE input is selected and no input is  
connected to the LINE jack, the PMD620 will record silence.  
The PMD620 will not playback.)  
If the PMD620 exhibits erratic behavior, the microprocessor can  
be reset by powering off, disconnecting AC power and removing  
batteries.  
There is no audio playback through headphones or internal  
speaker.  
Care and Maintenance  
• Check VOL+/– control setting.  
• Check a different audio file or the card.  
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution.  
Media cards that are heavily used should be occasionally  
reformatted to avoid audio problems due to fragmentation.  
The PMD620 will not record.  
• Check that the maximum of 999 files have not been recorded.  
• Check that the PMD620 acknowledges the card.  
No signal from microphone input.  
• Check input selection.  
• Check REC LEVEL control settings.  
• Check if microphone(s) require(s) Phantom power.
