field selected for each function mode (Sound
Field Link)

TUNER, the sound field that was last applied to the
function is automatically applied again. For example,
if you listen to DVD with “JAZZ” as the sound field,
then change to another function, and then return to
DVD, “JAZZ” will be applied again. With the tuner,
sound fields are memorized separately for all preset
stations.
