Well, I finally got it to work. Doing things in a specific order did the trick.
1. With power off on both cameras, connect the RCA cable to the video out/TC in-out jacks.
2. Power up both cameras.
3. Set camera A to Free Run, and then to Master. 'Outputting LTC Signal' message is visible. DO NOT hit the Menu button to exit--this will cancel the Master setting. (This is what I was doing wrong before, I think.)
4. Set camera B to Free Run, and then to Slave. 'Press TC Reset' message is visible. Press the TC reset button, and the 'TC Link OK' message will appear.
5. Only then can I exit the menus on both cameras by hitting the Menu buttons on each. If I don't do this, after a few seconds, the messages disappear and the LCD display returns to normal, with TC running on both cameras.
6. Disconnect the RCA cable.
Maybe this will be helpful to anyone else having trouble setting this up.
For the type of events I shoot, this feature is huge--I will be trying it out in a few days, when I record an organ recital in a newly restored/remodeled 100 year old church nearby. Looking forward to it.
