Connection

Please ensure that all electrical components are switched off before connecting. Your Digital Movie System has three optional inputs. In principle it is enough to connect one of these inputs to your TV and all further devices to your TV. To achieve the best possible sound we recommend that you connect your satellite receiver, Blu-Ray or DVD player directly to the DM system. The following options are possible, depending on the type and fittings of the source used:

TV - Digital input (optical)

Modern TV devices have an optical audio output (Toslink). Connect this with the input marked "TV" on the DM system. This connection guarantees optimal signal transmission and best sound quality.

Important: Remove protective caps from optical cable.

DVD - Digital input (coaxial)

To transmit the DVD sound signal connect the digital coaxial output of your Blu-Ray or DVD player with the jack marked "DVD" on the DM system. To transmit the picture signal your DVD player must also be connected to the TV. The input marked "DVD" on the DM system can be selected if your TV does not have an optical output.

AUX - Analogue input

If your TV only has an audio output marked "Pre-Out" then connect it using the shielded stereo RCA cable plugged into the analogue input on the DM system marked "AUX". Otherwise this input can be used to connect video recorders or game consoles.

SUB - Analogue output

Use this output when you want to connect an external active subwoofer. SUB OUT is not active in the basic setting and needs to be activated using the remote control. See page 42 “Extended sound functions”.

When the SEL function is activated (AUT) the BT input can no longer be selected using the "Input" key. In this mode the DM system can be connected to the mobile device regardless of the selected signal input.

IR learning function

The DM system can learn the infrared code of your TV remote control and therefore allows you to control the functions of the Soundbar and TV device via one remote control. You can allocate the instructions for the Soundbar to any key of the TV remote control. When choosing a key make sure that the instructions for the Soundbar do not conflict with the TV device. We recommend that you deactivate the internal loudspeaker of the TV device once the Soundbar is connected.

1 Hold the TV remote control in position.
2 Switch the Soundbar on.
3 Press and hold the "ON/Standby" key of the Soundbar remote control for approx. 5 seconds.
4 The display shows a flashing IRL.
5 Press the wanted function on the Canton remote control e.g. "Volume +".
6 Now the display shows the chosen function, e.g. _+ .
7 Within 20 seconds press the key you wish to allocate to this function on the TV remote control.
8 Once this has been successfully allocated the display will show OK and you can continue with the programming of the next key function, e.g. "Volume =".
9 If the display shows FAI this means the allocation has failed and you should repeat steps 5 to 8.

	3. Ground loop (ripple pickup) generated. 3. A ground loop can be generated when two or more devices connected via a signal line (cinch) are plugged into separate sockets (e.g. amplifier and computer). Plug all safety class I devices (with a safety plug) connected to the DM system into one multiple outlet stripe.
	4. Another piece of equipment on the same circuit has no interference suppression (e.g. fridge).	4. Switch off possible sources of interference to test; unplug the device concerned to see if the humming noise disappears or connect the source of interference to a different circuit (L1, L2 or L3). (Where necessary take advice from your electrician.) Insert a special “sheath current filter” (available from specialist retailers) between the amplifier and the DM system to eliminate the humming. Turn the power plug round to reduce the so-called ripple voltage (particularly important if the source device is not earthed).

Problem Possible cause	Solution
No playback via Bluetooth®.	1. There is no connection between the DM system and the mobile end device.	1. Connect your mobile end device as described.
	2. The mobile end device is paired but no playback takes place.	2.1. The mobile end device must be connected again.
		2.2. Set the volume on the mobile end device to maximum.
		2.3. Increase the volume of the DM system.
		2.4. Ensure that interference sources like a WLAN router or laptop are not set up in direct proximity of the DM system.
		2.5. Concurrent operation of WLAN and Bluetooth®connection from a mobile end device is not possible without interferences in most cases. (Disable WLAN at your mobile device.)
	3. You are out of range. 3. Reduce the distance between the Soundbar and your mobile end device.
The BT input cannot be selected using the “Input” keys.	The SEL function is activated (AUT). In this case the switching process happens automatically as soon as the DM system detects an audio signal from the mobile end device.

English

Problem Mögliche Ursache Lösung
The device does not switch on automatically from the optical or coaxial input.	1. The preset (factory setting) for the AUT function is OFF (disabled).	1. Activate the AUT function (ON). (Page 48)
	2. The device was switched off via the “ON/ Standby” key of the soundbar remote control or the “Power” key of the TV remote control (using the IR learning function).	2.1. Switch on the DM system via the “ON/Standby” key on the remote control and wait in future until it switches automatically to the standby mode.
		2.2. Delete the “Power” key of your TV remote control from the DM system so that you do not turn it off along with your TV.
	3. The device was switched to the other digital input which receives no signal and has switched itself off automatically.	3. Switch the device on using the “Power” key on the remote control and select the digital input that is connected to the desired source device.
The DM system does not switch automatically to the BT input.	1. The SEL function is deactivated (MAN). 1. Activate the SEL function (AUT).
	2. Bluetooth® has been deactivated on your mobile end device.	2. Activate Bluetooth® on your mobile end device.
	3. The DM system is connected to a different mobile end device.	3. Deactivate Bluetooth® on the other mobile end device.
	4. The mobile end device is not connected to the DM system.	4. Connect your mobile end device to the DM system. (Page 47)
The DM system switches to the BT input inadvertently.	This can happen when your mobile device produces system tones e.g. typing on the keyboard.	1. Deactivate the SEL function (MAN).
		2. Deactivate the system tones on your mobile end device.
