SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict
quality and safety standards. There are, however, some in-
stallation and operation precautions which you should be
particularly aware of.
1. Read Instructions -- All the safety and operating in-
structions should be read before the appliance is oper-
ated.
2. Retain Instructions -- The safety and operating instruc-
tions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings -- All warnings on the appliance and in
the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions -- All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5. Water and Moisture -- The appliance should not be
used near water -- for example, near a bathtub, wash-
bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool, etc.
6. Carts and Stands -- The appliance should be used only
with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manu-
facturer.
7. An appliance and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combina-
tion to overturn.
8. Wall or Ceiling Mounting -- The appliance should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by
the manufacturer.
9. Ventilation -- The appliance should be situated so that
its location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be
situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may
block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may
impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
10. Heat -- The appliance should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
11. Power Sources -- The appliance should be connected
to a power supply only of the type described in the oper-
ating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
12. Grounding or Polarization -- The precautions that
should be taken so that the grounding or polarization
means of an appliance is not defeated.
AC POLARIZED PLUG
13. Power-Cord Protection -- Power-supply cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience re-
ceptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
14. Cleaning -- The appliance should be cleaned only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
15. Power Lines-- An outdoor antenna should be located
away from power lines.
16. Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system
is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810
of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-
1984, provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Fig. 1.
17. Nonuse Periods -- The power cord of the appliance
should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused
for a long period of time.
18. Object and Liquid Entry -- Care should be taken so that
objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the en-
closure through openings.
19. Damage Requiring Service -- The appliance should be
serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been dam-
aged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the ap-
pliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally
or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure
damaged.
20. Servicing -- The user should not attempt to service the
appliance beyond that described in the operating in-
structions. All other servicing should be referred to
qualified service personnel.

NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful in-
terference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency en-
ergy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guaran-
tee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-
ence by one or more of the following measures:
­ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
­ Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
­ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is con-
nected.
­ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
NOTE:Changes or modifications may cause this
unit to fail to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules
and may void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV (Cable-TV) system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC,
which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of the Marantz Professional
PMD690 PC Card Recorder. The PMD690 is the next
generation of portable digital recorders that bridge the
gap between real-time audio recording and computers --
while keeping the size and functionality of our renowned
portable cassette and MiniDisc recorders.
The PMD690 has been designed as a field acquisition tool.
This means that the unit itself is designed to record audio
in a computer compatible file format. The audio files are
then meant to be transferred to a computer for editing or
transmission.
The recording medium of the PMD690, PCMCIA
compatible PC Cards, allows plug-and-play compatibility
with desktop and laptop computers. Flash PC Cards are
based on flash memory technology that features no
moving parts and is not affected by movement and
temperature. Flash memory cards are available through
most computer and digital photography products
resellers. For a complete list of approved cards for the
PMD690, please refer to the Marantz Professional website
at www.marantz.com.
The MP2 (MPEG1 layer2) file format that is supported by
the PMD690 is a worldwide standard for compressed
digital audio storage and transmission. Many playback
and editing systems are available commercially and
through the Internet. For more information on MP2 based
playback and editing systems, please consult your dealer.
Also supported by the PMD690, PCM (Pulse Code
Modulation) is the most widely used format for coding
uncompressed digital audio. The PCM system is used on
CD players, DAT recorders, and on computer editing
programs that support Wave (.wav) files. Recording in
the PCM format will provide the most universally
accepted storage format but comes with the limitation that
it uses a lot of memory very quickly.
