Tip
The system memorizes the last soundfield selected for
each function mode.
Whenever you select a function such as DVD or
TUNER, the sound field that was last applied to
function is automatically applied again. For example, if
you listen to DVD with HALL as the sound field, then
change to another function, and then return to DVD,
HALL will be applied again. With the tuner, sound
fields are memorized separately for all preset stations.
