Indicator  
Meaning  
Close the battery compartment door.  
There is still ample battery power remaining.  
The amount of battery power remaining has decreased  
to approximately half.  
Safety cautions on handling batteries  
Always follow the points below when using batteries to avoid  
electrolyte leakage, overheating, fire, rupturing, ingestion, etc.  
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 you continue recording while this indicator is flashing,  
recording/playback will stop, and the recorder will shut  
down.  
• 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 AC adapter is being used. The adapter power  
supply is valid.  
• 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.  
• If electrolyte has leaked, thoroughly wipe the inside of the battery  
holder, and then insert new batteries.

Advanced Features  
Microphone recommendations  
Microphone(s)  
Professional condenser microphone(s) (which require additional  
power from either the PMD661’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.  
– Attenuator  
The microphone attenuation switch permits the direct use of  
microphones that differ in sensitivity.  
• 0dB  
: No microphone attenuation.  
• –6dB : Input from a microphone(s) connected to the MIC jack  
is cut by 6dB.  
• –12dB : Input from a microphone(s) connected to the MIC jack  
is cut by 12dB.  
• –18dB : Input from a microphone(s) connected to the MIC jack  
is cut by 18dB.

– Phantom Power

Pre Record  
Silent Skip  
When PreRecord is on and the PMD661 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 PMD661 writes the  
previously buffered 2 seconds of audio to the card and continues to  
record from there.  
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, –60dB,  
–54dB, –38dB, –20dB.

Auto Track  
Copy Segment  
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.  
Copy Segment physically turns your “highlighted” section into a new

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 PMD661.  
• 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.  
The PMD661 does not turn on.  
• Install fresh batteries.  
• Check AC adapter connections.  
• Check frequency conversion program.*  
* The PMD661 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 PMD661 turns on then turns itself off.  
• Install fresh batteries.  
PC cannot read files  
The PMD661 seems to record, but there is no sound on  
playback.  
• Check input settings.  
• Check the capability of the PC program. Some playback and  
editing programs do not support MP3 or Broadcast Wave (.wav)  
formats.  
(For example, if LINE input is selected and no input is connected to  
the LINE jack, the PMD661 will record silence. The PMD661 will not  
playback.)  
If the PMD661 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.  
• Check VOL+/– control setting.  
Care and Maintenance  
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.  
• Check a different audio file or the card.  
The PMD661 will not record.  
• Check that the maximum of 999 files have not been recorded.  
• Check that the PMD661 acknowledges the card.  
No signal from microphone input.  
• Check input selection.  
• Check REC LEVEL control settings.  
• Check if microphone(s) require(s) Phantom power.
