Menus

This section describes each of the menus in the ZFR800 and their function. To access all menus,
except the main menu, the menu button on the unit is pressed until desired menu appears.

Main Menu

The Main menu contains the following four important pieces of information.
❏ Transport status - upper left corner
❏ Current time code of the segment - upper left
❏ Battery indication - lower left
❏ Audio level - bottom of the meter

Gain Menu

Access:
The audio gain is used to set the gain of the microphone preamplifier. Use the increment and
decrement keys to set the microphone gain. The gain is adjustable over a range of 36 dB. The gain
should be set so that the meter is peaking between —20 and —10˚dB. This is about half way between
—20˚dB and 0˚dB on the meter.

Time code menu

Access:
When accessed, the current generator time code value appears in the menu. The current frame rate
also appears. Use the increment or decrement keys to change the current time code rate. If the rate
is set to Auto, the ZFR800 automatically sets the rate when the unit is jammed.

The ZFR800 can be locked so that the Menu Key, INC and DEC keys are inoperative.
