Power supplies
AC Adaptor
When recording for e tended periods, or using this unit in
a studio environment, we recommend using the AC adaptor.
Notes
• If the voltage of the power supply e ceeds the specified
value, “HIGH DC IN” blinks in the display for 3 seconds,
and the unit turns off.
• This adaptor is also used to recharge the (optional) NiCd
battery pack. See “Rechargeable NiCd Battery Pack
(optional)” for details.
Alkaline Batteries
The PMD650 takes 8 standard AA-type alkaline batteries.
Refer to the following illustration to load the batteries.
Notes
• Use only AA batteries for replacement.
• Be sure to insert the batteries with correct polarity (as
illustrated on the battery compartment).
• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for an
e tended period of time.
• If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid
touching the leaking material or letting it come into contact
with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment
thoroughly before installing new batteries.
• Do not use new batteries together with batteries that have
been previously used.
• It is possible to insert (AA-type) NiCd batteries into the
battery holder, but they cannot be recharged.
Rechargeable NiCd Battery Pack
(optional)
The PMD650 can also use an optional NiCd rechargeable
battery pack (RB1100). Be sure the battery pack is fully
charged before use. Refer to the following illustration to
install the battery pack.
To charge the battery pack
1Make sure the NiCd battery pack is loaded into
the PMD650 (as shown above).
2Connect the PMD650 to a wall outlet using the
AC Adaptor (see “AC Adaptor”).
3Set the PMD650 to off (standby).
The CHARGE indicator located ne t to the DC IN 13V jack
blinks while the pack is charging and lights steadily when it
is fully charged. A full charge takes appro imately 3 hours.
Note
• The CHARGE indicator will not light if the power is
on. In this case, the PMD650 operates using the AC
power from the wall outlet.
•Due to the characteristics of the NiCd battery, its
useable battery time when charged may be
substantially decreased during the course of
repeated charging and discharging of the battery.
In this case unplug the AC adapter and, without
removing the NiCd battery, leave as is for 2 to 3
days. After this period, recharge the battery again.
to AC outlet
• It is recommended that this NiCd battery is used
within a temperature range of between 10 degrees
Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius in order to attain the
best performance.
• Do not short-circuit the terminals. Do not place the
NiCd battery in pockets or handbags together with
necklaces or other metallic objects.
• Never immerse the NiCd battery in water, subject it to
naked flames or attempt to dismantle it.

Adjusting the System
Presets
The system presets described below can be adjusted
according to your needs and preferences.
• Power management alarm (ALARM)
This preset determines whether or not the beep alarm
will sound before the unit’s power is automatically
turned off. The alarm beeps 30 seconds before the
power management function turns the power off.
Likewise, it also beeps 5 minutes before battery failure
(“LOW BATT”).
• LSR level (LSR_L)
This preset determines the minimum signal level
necessary to trigger the LSR (Level Sync Recording)
function. (See “LSR” on page 14 for details.)
• New track time (NTT) (in LSR mode)
Tracks are marked in sync with the input level of the
source signal. This preset determines how long a low
level (LSR level) signal must continue before the unit
marks a new track (see “LSR” on page 14).
For e ample: If NTT is set to 3 seconds, when the source
signal falls below LSR level for 3 seconds or more, a new
track is marked the ne t time the source signal rises above
the LSR level (with the LSR set to ON and the TR_INC set to
On).
• Track increment (TR_INC) (in LSR mode)
This preset determines whether or not new track
numbers will be automatically assigned to new tracks.
See “LSR“.
• Pre recording time (PR_REC)
When the unit is set to rec-pause mode, it can monitor
the source signal and maintain a memory cache which
eliminates any time lag in the recording operation (and
can even allow you to start recording slightly
beforehand). This preset determines the length of the
memory cache.
• Time system (Time)
This preset lets you choose either a 12 hour (AM/PM)
or 24 hour (military) time system.
• Date form (DATE)
This preset lets you choose the order of the date (day,
month, year) information.
• Battery type (BATT)
For the most accurate indication of the battery life, set
this preset to the type of battery you are using.
Continued on next page
Power Management
The PMD650 is equipped with a sliding POWER switch
that toggles the unit between on and off (standby).
It also incorporates a power management function that
turns the power off automatically after 5 minutes of non-
operation when using battery power. The unit will beep
30 seconds before the power is automatically turned off.
You can turn off the power management alarm, if
necessary, by setting the ALARM preset to OFF as
described in the following section “Adjusting the System
Presets“.
To turn the unit on
Slide POWER to the right.
To turn the unit off (standby)
Slide POWER to the right.
If turned off during recording, the unit always writes the UTOC
before turning off.
Battery replacement
The battery icon in the display shows battery strength in
three steps:
: Battery life is low.
:Alkaline batteries : Batteries are
e hausted. Replace the batteries.
NiCd battery : Battery is e hausted.
Recharge the battery or replace it with a
fully charged battery.
: “LOW BATT” and the REC indicator (REC
mode only) blink in the display (REC
blinks two times faster than during rec-
pause mode), an alarm sounds from the
headphones or internal speaker, and the
unit shuts down automatically after 3
minutes. After the unit shuts down, sliding
the POWER to the right sometimes turns
the power on. However, the unit shuts
down immediately or within 3 minutes.
Notes
• If the battery failure occurs during recording, the UTOC is
updated before shutting down.
• During recording, the alarm sounds from the headphones only.
• The alarm can be turned off. See “Adjusting the System
Presets” for details.
Battery life
Battery type Recording Playback
Alkaline batteries about 3.5 hours about 4.0 hours
Optional NiCd battery about 2.5 hours about 3.0 hours
Notes
• When recording, to avoid loss of battery power, it is
recommended to always use new alkaline batteries, or a fully
charged battery pack.
• Battery life may vary depending on the conditions under
which the unit is operated (environmental temperature,
humidity, speaker usage, DIGITAL OUT ON/OFF, etc.).
• This unit will maintain a backup of date and time for
appro imately one month, even with the batteries removed.
