Sync recording operation
When the sync recording function is on and the unit is in
recording standby, recording will automatically start or stop in
response to the level of the input source.
p
When a signal higher than the sync level is input, recording
will begin automatically. Recording will automatically stop
when the signal stays below the sync level continuously for
5 seconds. However, recording will not begin even if input
is detected unless there has been at least one second in
which the signal was below the SYNC LEVEL after entering
recording standby.

DD
When recording a digital source (CD, DAT or MD) via
a DIGITAL IN jack, a new track will be created when a
track division is detected in the source. However, when
recording an analog source or a digital source other
than the types listed above, this will work in the same
way as LEVEL mode, and new tracks will be created in
response to the input level.
DD mode does not function, however, when SRC is on
if the digital source is DAT.
