(4) Interpolated Sync Plus External Sync Mode
In interpolated sync plus external sync mode, synchronization is based on the detected sync code
patterns as long as they are present, and if a sync pattern is not detected at the 2352nd byte, the
sync code maintenance is applied. Synchronization in this mode is more quickly responsive to
changes in synchronization timing than synchronization in the automatic sync maintenance mode.
However, decoding still becomes incorrect when a sync pattern is input with abnormal timing.
Figures 23.13 and 23.14 show the operation in interpolated sync plus external sync mode in the
cases of abnormally short and long sectors, respectively.
