• Pilot 1 PPS Sync: select On or Off. If On, enter:
– Pilot Sync Phase (enter value between 0 and 360 degrees; typically 0 degrees)
• Audio Delay: Used to time align the receiver output of decoded analog and digital audio
signals. Select Yes or No. If Yes, enter:
– Audio Delay: enter value between 0 and 12,000 ms (default is 0)
