(2) External Sync Mode
In external sync mode, synchronization is always based on the sync codes in the incoming data.
Even if the next sync code is not detected at the 2352nd byte, decoding does not proceed until the
next sync code is detected.
Accordingly, this mode is effective in that it strictly follows the external synchronization timing.
Note, however, that decoding will not be performed normally when the sync-code pattern is input
with abnormal timing.
Figure 23.11 shows the operation in external sync mode.
