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.
