the sound field, change to different programme 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.

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

otherwise, you can't obtain the surround effect.
