program source (Sound Field Link)
Whenever you select a program source, the sound field that was
last applied is automatically applied again. For example, if you
listen to CD with STADIUM as the sound field, change to a
different program source, then return to CD, STADIUM will be
applied again. With the tuner, sound fields are memorized
separately for AM, FM, and all preset stations.

You can identify the encoding format of program software
by looking at its packaging
Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the logo, and Dolby
