recording standby, recording will automatically start or stop in
response to the level of the input source.

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.
