how do you reformat the card. Do you just delete all contents on the card?

Shift->Edit



I learned to the read the instruction manual when I tried to assemble a entertainment system without reading the instructions.  I ended up with two coffe tables instead of the entertainment system.   :)

Hold down Shift and press Edit.
left or right button until you reach format
enter, confirm, enter

edit: I was a little late I guess.

so I opened the card on my computer and deleted everthing from the card including the folder and 4 others program/configuration files and then formatted the card. When I first bought the deck I probably read it, but totally forgot. Thanks for the quick responses. I will make that part of my SOP from now on. Did any of you guys have any trouble with your decks and the card full error before you started formating the CF card each time?

I've posted about a similar problem earlier in this very topic, which was also with a Kingston card:

I should add an update.  I have used the Kingston card that failed to record 2 GB of data, but didn't attempt to max it out.  I recorded a set that last about 1 GB.   I've used the SanDisk cards as my primary cards, and I have religiously formatted before each new use.  I have not had this problem again since my initial experience.

I have been recording numerous analog cassette masters and minidisc masters into my PMD, filled my 2gb GF card 20-30 times without formatting, then I got a CF error (sandisk card) while doing one of these. I would just cut and paste the files off the CF card into my PC.  I make it a habit now to Format the card before recording anything. ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure =D.

Can anyone give me a real quick how to on changing the recording type (48, 44... etc) and setting up/saving/starting a new recording on the 660.  I am running it for the first time tonight and grabbed the rig this morning but forgot the manual.  I won't have time to get back to my house before the gig...

Thanks in advance

Online User's Manual: http://www.equipmentemporium.com/Instruction%20Manuals/PMD660_manual.pdf

Edit, then preset 1, then enter, then toggle right or left through the menu. Here are the settings I run:

 Recording Format - PCM 44.1 .wav , Recording Channel - Stereo, Mic Attenuation -20 attenuation, Input - MIC, Output - HP , Level Control - Manual, Manual Track - On, Auto Track - Off, Auto Mark - Off, Silent Skip - Off, Meter Mode - Normal, Beep - Off, Auto Power Off - On,

Once you are done setting the machine hit edit to save.

***Make sure you don't hit enter when you are on the default selection, b/c it will restore it to factory defaults***

***Also make sure you Press Edit + Shift and toggle through the file menu until you find the format option to formate your card before you start recording****

The pre show report is I'm seeing Grace Potter and the Nocturnals free on the beach in Niantic CT.  I was gonna run Peluso CEMC6>ACM PMD 660.  But one of my CEMC6 caps has a short.  (it works but only if I hold it, and I don't feel like holding it... boxed them up to fly back to Peluso tomorrow) So I am gonna run my Dorsey mod Oktava MC012>ACM PMD660.  This will be my first run with the Marantz box!  woo hoo!

Not sure what I'm more exited for the new toys or a free Grace Potter show!
