operated appliances near water for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool, etc.
Heat Do not place the appliance near or
over a radiator or heat register, or where it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
Ventilation The slots and openings in the
cabinet are provided for necessary
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of
the appliance, and to protect it from
overheating, these slots and openings must
never be blocked or covered.
Never cover the slots and openings with a
cloth or other materials.
Never block the slots and openings by
placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug
or other similar surface.
Never place the appliance in a confined
space, such as a bookcase, or built-in
cabinet, unless proper ventilation is
provided.
Accessories Do not place the appliance
on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table. The appliance may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or an adult, and
serious damage to the appliance. Use only a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by Sony.
USE
Power Source This appliance should be
operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of electrical power supplied
to your home, consult your dealer or local
power company. For those appliances
designed to operate from battery power, or
other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
Grounding or Polarization This appliance
is equipped with a polarized AC power cord
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other), or with a three-wire grounding type
plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding).
Follow the instructions below:
For the appliance with a polarized AC
power cord plug:
This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet
installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
For the appliance with a three-wire
grounding type AC plug:
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type
power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to have a suitable
outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety
purpose, of the grounding plug.
Overloading Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords or convenience receptacles
beyond their capacity, since this can result in
fire or electric shock.
When not in use Unplug the power cord of
the appliance from the outlet when left
unused for a long period of time.
To disconnect the cord, pull it out by
grasping the plug. Never pull the plug out by
the cord.
PCM-D1. US. 2-664-971-13(2)
background
Power-Cord Protection Route the power
cord so that it is not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to the
plugs, receptacles, and the point where the
cord exits from the appliance.
Lightning For added protection for this
appliance during a lightning storm, or when
it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
This will prevent damage to the appliance
due to lightning and powerline surges.
Attachments Do not use attachments not
recommended by Sony, as they may cause
hazards.
Cleaning Unplug the appliance from the
wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for
cleaning the exterior of the appliance. Clean
the appliance only as recommended by
Sony.
Object and Liquid Entry Never push
objects of any kind into the appliance
through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock.

the following conditions:
When the power cord or plug is damaged
or frayed.
If liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the appliance.
If the appliance has been exposed to rain
or water.
The appliance does not appear to operate
normally or exhibits a marked change in
performance. This indicates a need for
service.
If the appliance does not operate normally
when following the operating instructions,
adjust only those controls that are
specified in the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the appliance to normal operation.
If the appliance has been subject to
excessive shock by being dropped, or the
cabinet has been damaged.
Servicing Do not attempt to service the
appliance yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.

parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts
specified by Sony that have the same
characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check Upon completion of any
service or repairs to the appliance, ask the

Exterior
Increase rigidity
The electrical circuits are protected by a
body made of 1 mm thick pure titanium. By
means of a pressing process called
drawing, titanium is shaped into a box to
achieve a body rigidity that cannot be
obtained through bending or using pressed
aluminum. The use of drawn titanium
minimizes resonance, which tends to occur
when the body comes into contact with
acoustic energy.
The surface of pure titanium material
undergoes a process that increases the
hardness of the material. The surface is then
covered with ion plating (a nitrate titanium
coating that is resistant to scratches). The
finished titanium surface is approximately ten
times as hard as that of alumite treated
aluminum.
The distinctive arch-shaped frame
(microphone guard) protects the built-in
microphone units against impact damage
when dropped. Exhaustive tests were carried
Front/back panels
(1 mm thick pressed titanium)
out seeking a form and material that were
rugged enough without obstructing sound.
The final choice: stainless steel rods
(SUS316), 3 mm in diameter, bent into the
shape of the frame and hand polished by
skilled craftsmen.
The rugged exterior produced in this way
protects the circuits and microphones and
enhances the high recording quality of
PCM-D1.

Maintenance
On noise
Noise may be heard when the recorder is
placed near an AC power source, a
fluorescent lamp or a mobile phone during
recording or playback.
Noise may be recorded when an object,
such as your finger, etc., rubs or scratches
the recorder during recording.
On safety
Do not operate the recorder while driving,
cycling or operating any motorized vehicle.
On handling
Do not subject the recorder to strong
shock or vibration. Doing so may cause a
malfunction of the recorder.
Do not place the recorder in the following
locations:
Anywhere extremely hot. Never exposed
it to temperatures above 60ºC.
Under direct sunlight or close to heaters
In a sun-heated car with windows closed
(especially in summer)
Humid place, such as in a bathroom
Anywhere dusty
On the built-in microphones
The built-in microphones are
high-performance electret condenser
microphones. Do not expose them to strong
wind or water.
On maintenance
When the exterior is dirty, clean the surface
gently with a soft cloth slightly moistened in
water, and then wipe it again with a dry
cloth. Do not use alcohol, benzene, or
thinner, etc., to avoid damaging the finish.
Backup recommendations
To avoid potential risk of data loss caused
by accidental operation or malfunction of the
recorder, we recommend that you save a
backup copy of your recorded tracks to a
computer.

Symptom Cause/Solution
You cannot erase a
track.
The write-protect switch on the inserted “Memory Stick PRO (High Speed)
is set to “LOCK.” Release the lock.
When you use a Windows computer, the track or the folder containing the
track is set toRead-only” in the computer. Display the track or the folder
using Windows Explorer and remove the check forRead-onlyunder
“Properties.”
When you use a Mac computer, the track or the folder containing the track
is set to “Lockedin the computer. Display the track or the folder on Mac
Desktop and remove the check for “Locked” under “GetInfoofFile.
The remaining battery power is insufficient. Connect the AC power adaptor
to the recorder (page 20), charge the batteries, or replace them with new
ones (page 19).
Noise is heard.
An object, such as your finger, etc., accidentally rubbed or scratched the
recorder during recording so that noise was recorded.
Noise may occur if many low volume files are recorded in the current
memory. Save the tracks to the hard disk of your computer (page 30), and
then format the memory (page 36).
The recorder was placed near an AC power source, a fluorescent lamp or a
mobile phone during recording or playback.
Noise may occur if the plug of the connected external microphone was
dirty when recording. Clean the plug.
Noise may occur if the plug of the connected headphones/earphones is
dirty during playback or monitoring the recording sound. Clean the plug.
The sound picked up is
distorted.
The MIC/LINE IN switch is in the wrong position. Set it to the position that
corresponds to the sound source and connections (page 15).
The recording level is too high. Adjust the recording level to an appropriate
range (page 24).
The sound source is too loud when recording with an external microphone.
Set the MIC ATT switch to the20position (page 23), or move the
microphone away from the sound source.
The sound source has parts that are too loud. Set the “LIMITER” item to
“ON” in the menu display (page 35).
Noise occurs during
recording.
When monitoring the recording sound with headphones or earphones, they
are placed too close to the microphone. Decrease the sound level from
headphones or keep the microphone away from them.
“--h--m--s” is displayed
as the recorded date.
Set the clock (page 21). The date and time of recording are displayed after
the clock is set.
There are fewer menu
items in the menu
display.
Some menu items are not displayed during playback or recording (page
35).

Once you record audio in the built-in
memory or a Memory Stick PRO (High
Speed), the 10 folders for saving tracks are
automatically created in each memory. One
.WAV file is created for each recording.
For details about the folders and track file
structure, refer to page 32.
Notes about folder/track file
Because the folder names FOLDER 01 to
FOLDER 10 are fixed, do not change the
names on a computer. If changed, the
recorder cannot recognize the folders.
The number of folders is fixed at 10 for
each memory. If a folder is deleted on a
computer, a new folder is created in the
built-in memory or Memory Stick PRO
(High Speed).
The maximum number of tracks that can
be saved in one folder is 99 tracks.
The maximum data capacity that one WAV
format track can deal with is 2 GB. If the
data amount of one track exceeds 2 GB
during recording, recording as a new track
starts automatically. In this case, the
elapsed recording time display changes to
0 second, but the contents that have been
recorded up to 2 GB are stored normally.
File specifications
If recording is stopped right after starting
recording, one track is created.
If you use 8 or fewer alphanumeric
characters in lower case for a file name,
the characters are displayed in upper case
on the recorder. If you use 9 letters or
more, they are displayed in lower case.
