SUPPORT

A lot of our support is given personally by phone but now we have a dedicated support page too.

Marantz PMD660
We have a Quick Guide on using your PMD660, designed to tell you some of the things they don’t tell you in the manual; if you didn’t receive one or can’t find it,  email for a copy

The PMD660 was always picky about the sorts of Compact Flash cards it would work with. CF cards should be homogeneous but unfortunately they aren’t; there are unpredictable differences between brands which can catch you out. It likes slow cards - you only need a 2x card to record uncompressed CD quality audio files. We used to supply 12x cards but these are unobtainable now, and our current card is a Lexar 80x which seems to work reliably in a 660. One customer bought a new card in Maplin’s which didn’t work and cost twice as much as ours. Do give us a call!

Sony MZ-RH1 Minidisc recorder
Now there is upload software for Mac users (previously Windows only). Download it here.

Marantz PMD620
It looks as though the PMD620 may be a little picky about the SD cards it takes. There’s online comment that Kingston and Transcend may give problems, and one of our customers had trouble with a Fuji card (recorder would not start up properly). The Lexar cards we supply have no reported problems.

Lapel microphones
Some customers report problems from clothing or jewellery rubbing against lapel (lavalier) microphones and causing clicks and noises. There is an alternative clip available from Audio Technica which lifts the mic about 1cm from the clothing it’s attached to, and which appears to be quite effective. The AT8417 clip is the standard clip for the AT803 and AT831 lavaliers and is £9.95 plus post. Order here.

If you have hints and tips to pass on to other recording equipment users let us have them and we’ll try and add them to these pages; please email .
