Sync Record operation
When you put the SS-CDR1 in record-ready condition with
the Sync Record function on, recording will automatically
start or stop according to the level of the input source.
When a signal higher than the sync level is input, •
recording will begin automatically.
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
the record-ready state.

NOTE
The above explanation is for the case when the
DELAY setting is “0” (the default setting). By changing
the DELAY setting, you can change the “record start”
point.
While recording, if the input signal stays below the sync
level for the duration specified by STOP TIME (default:
5 seconds), the SS-CDR1 will automatically switch to
the record-ready condition.
