The receiver memorizes the last sound field selected for each
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.

Note
When using sound fields, do not select both speaker systems
(A+B) with the SPEAKERS selector.
