• Security – CF cards
For security, the CF card compartment door can be
secured with a screw. Requiring a tool to open the CF
card compartment reduces casual removal of the CF
card.
• Pre-Recording memory buffer records 2 seconds of
audio before recording is started.
• Playback aids
A common problem with lengthy voice or other
recordings is difficulty in locating one or more specific
passages for playback. The PMD660 has several ways
to mark specific record starting points.
• Tracks
• A new track (file) is automatically started each time
you begin a recording.
• It is not possible to record over a previously recorded
track unless it is first erased.
• An Auto Track feature can add tracks every minute or
other selected recording intervals. (Minute track:
Setting the interval to one minute provides a new
track every minute of a recording. This permits
navigation of a large audio recording by time.)
• A new track can be started during recording by
pressing the REC button (if the "Manual Trk" preset is
turned On).
• EDL marks*
EDL (Edit Decision List) marks can be created during
recording manually or automatically. EDL marks help
you find specific points in the recording.
• During playback, you can instantly locate EDL marks.
• Up to 255 EDL marks can be added to a CF card.
EDL marks are numbered consecutively starting at
one. During recording, you can manually add an EDL
mark by pushing the MARK button. EDL marks can
also be added automatically.
* The EDL marking system is proprietary to Marantz Professional
solid state recorders.
• Virtual Track
Virtual Track allows you to set an in point and an out
point within a file for later immediate playback access.
• 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 track(file) by
setting an in point and an out point, and then paste that
section into a new track(file) without destroying the
original track(file).
• Setup
Three menu selectable Presets make it easy to switch
between your commonly used input, recording format
and other menu selections.
• Time / Date stamp
A built-in date and time generator marks (stamps) the
beginning of each track.
• There are three ways to power the PMD660 ;
• Included AC adapter.
• AA Alkaline batteries (~ 4 hours).
• Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.
• REMOTE jack for optional Marantz Model RC600PMD permits
a wired remote for controlling the recording process.
