example, if you listen to CD with HALL as the sound
field, change to different program source, then return to
CD, HALL will be applied again. In the case of the
tuner, the sound fields for AM or FM band and for all
the preset stations are memorized separately.
You can find Dolby Surround-encoded software by
looking at the packaging
However, some videos and laser discs may use Dolby
Surround sound even if it's not indicated on the
package.
Note
Make sure to select speaker A with the SPEAKERS A button,
otherwise, you can't obtain the surround effect.
