field that was last applied is automatically applied
again. For example, if you listen to CD with HALL as
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.
You can find Dolby Surround-encoded software by
looking at the packaging
However, some videos and laser discs may use Dolby
Surround sound even if it's not indicated on the
package.
