ZYLIA ZR-1 Portable Recorder Reference manual

Firmware update

The ZR-1 firmware can be updated with specially prepared files provided by ZYLIA. To 
perform the firmware update, the user is required to upload the provided update files to a 
USB flash drive. The procedure is as follows:

1.

Download the bin from the link provided by ZYLIA.

2.

Upload the provided file to a USB flash drive with FAT32 file system and at least 4GB 
of free space.

3.

It is recommended that during the update procedure the ZR-1 should be connected 
to the external power adapter supplying 5V at 2.5A. The device should be turned off.

4.

Remove the SD Card from the slot and connect the USB flash drive to the ZR-1 USB 
socket.

5.

Turn on the device while simultaneous pressing and holding PLAY and REC buttons. 
Release the buttons after around 5 seconds and wait until REC, SD CARD and GAIN 
LEDs light up. After the three LEDs turn off, ON/OFF LED will change the color to 
purple indicating that the firmware update process has started.

6.

The process may last around 5 minutes. When the update ends, the ZR-1 will power 
off by itself.

7. Turn your ZR-1 recorder on. ZR-1 will restart to complete the configuration and will 

be ready for use.

Cleaning

Clean the surface of the device with a soft dry cloth. To prevent damage to the finish or
casing, do not expose the device to chemical products.

Remarks

Do not eject the SD card during playback. If the SD card is ejected while ZR-1 is playing a 
recording, the system will crash if Forward or Backward button is pressed.

While fast-forwarding or back-warding, other actions are queued and delayed until the 
button is released and normal playback is continued.
