ZR-1 supports Timecode synchroni ation. Timecode generated by an external device can
be sent to ZR-1 through a break-out cable provided in the box set. Connect the Timecode
generator with a mini-jack cable to red socket in a break-out cable and plug it to a ZR-1
headphone output. Timecode signal is recorded along with the signal captured by the ZM-
1 and stored in a separate ?le with ?lename containing “TC”.
