A different source may be selected manually using a short press on the On/Source

The amplifier has a Movie EQ setting which reduces the high treble a little to
compensate for over-bright movies, and raises the subwoofer level - resulting in a
sound optimised for action movies.
Press the Movie EQ button to turn Movie EQ on/off. This setting will be saved for each
individual input.
