Tip
• The system memorizes the last sound field selected
for each function mode.
However, the system does not memorize the last
sound field for the FM and AM functions individually

a long period of time, the system may return to its
default settings.
About S-Force PRO Front
Surround
Sony’s long-term involvement in surround
technology (and the vast amounts of acoustic
data accumulated as a result) has led to the
development of all-new processing method and
advanced DSP to handle this task effectively,
which we call S-Force PRO Front Surround.
Compared with previous front surround
technologies, S-Force PRO Front Surround
reproduces a more convincing sense of distance
and space, resulting in a true surround sound
experience without the need for rear speakers.
