Each sound field is composed of an equalizer (bass, midrange, and treble) and surround sound parameters: sound variables that create the sound image. You can customize the sound fields by adjusting the speaker levels, effects, and surround sound parameters to suit your listening situation.

Once you customize the sound fields, they are stored in memory.
