Sync crosstalk is a relative figure against the reference level, on how much of the recording signal from a track in
recording mode is leaking into the track being reproduced. When sync crosstalk is excessively high, playback output
during overdubbing will sound muddy by effect of the recording signal leakage or cause oscillation at pingpong
recording (where the playback output is transferred to another track).
