The EAS audio file always overrides analog and digital audio and internally 
generated sounds. 
 
The text display, or ticker, and audio playback repeat as long as necessary to fill 
the duration. If the delay time is greater than 5 seconds, the program audio is 
heard during the delay time between repeats. 
 
The EAS suspends operation when one of the following occurs: 
The time reaches the origination time plus the duration received in the EAS 
request pass-through message. 
Note: Origination time plus duration does not apply to Force Tuned 
messages. 
The set-top receives an EAS Termination (EAT) pass-through message. 
If the EAS message is active when a new EAS message is received, the entire 
new message including the audio file, if applicable, downloads and the old 
message suspends operation. 
If the EAS message causes Force Turning, other message types are ignored, 
except for the EAT message.
