Introduction  
Thank you for selecting the Marantz Professional PMD620MKII  
Handheld Solid State Recorder.  
Features

Recordings can be transferred to your desktop or laptop  
computer by removing the SD card from the PMD620MKII or  
by connecting the PMD620MKII 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.  
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).

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.  
– Compatible with SDHC UHS-I card  
– Retake function (vP.28)  
– File encryption  
– Automatic recording  
The PMD620MKII 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).  
– DMP Mark Editor software included  
– 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).

Recording Level Control  
Encrypted Recording  
The recording level control lets you select the type of input level  
control.  
When “Encrypt Rec” on the preset menu is set to “On”, files  
recorded on SD cards are encrypted.  
Encryption is performed based on the passcode (0000 to 9999)  
set at “Passcode” on the preset menu.  
– At the Manual Level Control  
When Manual is set in the Level Control setting, press the REC  
LEVEL + or REC LEVEL – button to control the audio input  
level. The optimum record level is when the level meter goes as  
close to 0dB as possible but does not go OVER. When Level  
display is off, press the REC LEVEL + or REC LEVEL – button  
to display the level information for 1 second without changing  
recording level.  
The correct passcode must be input to play files recorded with  
encrypted recording. (  
P.33)  
v
Files recorded with encrypted recording have the extension WAS  
for WAV files or MPS for MP3 files, according to the setting at  
“Rec Format” on the preset menu.  
Use DMP Mark Editor to play files recorded with encrypted  
recording on a computer.

Advanced Features  
Microphone recommendations  
Microphone(s)  
Professional condenser microphone(s) (which require additional  
power from either the PMD620MKII’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.62)  
v
– 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.63)

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. (

Silent Skip  
The Silent Skip automatically pauses recording when there is a  
period of silence and resumes recording when sound resumes.

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 or  
service centers.  
• Check REC LEVEL control settings.  
• Check if microphone(s) require(s) Phantom power.  
There is excessive noise on the PMD620MKII  
• 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 PMD620MKII 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 PMD620MKII does not turn on.  
• Install fresh batteries.  
• Check AC adapter connections.  
The PMD620MKII turns on then turns itself off.  
• Install fresh batteries.  
The PMD620MKII seems to record, but there is no sound on  
PC cannot read files  
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.  
• Use DMP Mark Editor to play files recorded with encrypted  
recording on a computer.  
(For example, if LINE input is selected and no input is  
connected to the LINE jack, the PMD620MKII will record  
silence. The PMD620MKII will not playback.)  
There is no audio playback through headphones or internal  
speaker.  
• Check VOL+/– control setting.  
If the PMD620MKII exhibits erratic behavior, the microprocessor  
can be reset by powering off, disconnecting AC power and  
removing batteries.  
• Check a different audio file or the card.  
Care and Maintenance  
The PMD620MKII will not record.  
• Check that the maximum of 999 files have not been recorded.  
• Check that the PMD620MKII acknowledges 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.  
No signal from microphone input.  
• Check input selection.
