32 FS-C Portable DTE Recorder
Syncro SlaveThis mode is for camcorders that do not have external 
control or the tapeless control functionality compatible 
with the FS-C. 
• Syncro Slave mode requires that a tape be in the 
camcorder for operation. 
• The FS-C must be set to Syncro Slave control mode.
• In this mode, the FS-C watches the record state of the 
camcorder and follows its actions.
When Synchro Slave mode is entered from the menu, the 
Home screen appears with the Pause indicator displayed in 
the upper left-hand corner along with a Y that indicates that 
the FS-C is following the camcorder’s record state.
1. Verify that the FS-C is in STOP mode.  
2. From the FS-C Home screen, press the Right navigation 
button several times until the CONTROL screen appears:
3. Use the Down navigation button to select Syncro Slave. The 
dash on the left side of an item indicates it is the current 
selection. The default value is Local.
4. Press the Select navigation button. 
5. The beginning screen returns and a Pause indicator 
appears in the upper left-hand corner. Next to this symbol, 
is a Y indicating that FS-C is now following the record state 
of the connected camcorder. 
6. Now the FS-C will record at the same time the camcorder 
records to tape.
