USER MANUAL DM 90.2 CANTON

Warning: Listening to music at high volume, in particular over a long period of

time, can damage your hearing.28 System description The virtual surround system of the DM Series creates a rich and full sound field that is normally only possible with 5.1 Systems. To achieve this sound quality the individual channels of a multi-channel recording are put through a special frequency-specific process and mixed onto two channels, which then creates the impression of surround sound in the room. The result is outstanding listening pleasure for minimum installation costs. The systems have an integrated, RDS-enabled FM Tuner and adaptive remote control, which can be used to control a second listening zone (Multiroom). Dear Customer, Welcome to the Canton family and thank you for the confidence you have shown in us with the purchase of this system. You have selected a high quali- ty loudspeaker system, which shows that you have high standards regarding sound quality and workmanship. Please read through these instructions carefully before setting up and connecting your DM System. They are designed to help you to get the most out of your system. The Canton distribution network covers over 40 countries. If you have any questions our team of experienced distributors along with the authorised dealers will be happy to help you. We hope that you get many long hours of pleasure and satisfaction from your DM System. The Canton team29 DeutschEnglish FrançaisEspagnol Package contents DM 90.2 The Digital Movie System DM 90.2 is supplied with the following components:

Connecting the source devices The Canton DM System offer a wide range of connection options for almost all popular source devices, such as DVD players, video recorders, satellite receivers, multi-media con- soles (Playstation®, X-Box®, …) etc. The audio connections for your source devices need to be connected to the corre- sponding ports on the back of the DM 90.2. Source devices that have a digital output for Dolby Digital and DTS Bitstream should be connected digitally to the DM System. This ensures full Dolby Digital and DTS sound quality. The video signal connections are made directly between the source devices and the image display device. The image source to be used is selected directly from the menu of the image display device. In order to use the integrated FM Tuner of the DM System you need to connect the aerial supplied to the appropriate socket on the DM 90.2. Better reception will be achieved if the aerial is extended. For optimal reception we recommend connection to a broadband cable network or a roof-mounted aerial using the coaxial cable supplied. Before you can start using the DM 90.2 for sound reproduc- tion you need to go through the initial installation process and assign the inputs to the source devices. You will be asked to do this automatically when you first switch on the device (see page 12). The Line 2 / Phono input allows you to connect either a line-level au- dio source (up to 2V) or a record player (up to 5mV). This can be done by selecting the relevant set up in the system menu. The Pre (2.1/5.1 Mode) output allows you to connect, for example, active wireless loudspeakers. According to the set up selected in the System Menu (Factory Set / Gerätenamen) the output will be through the front channels in 2.1 Mode or the surround loudspeakers in 4.1 Mode. The Zone 2 /Line output has a number of output options, which can be selected in the System Menu of the remote control: - Zone 2 with individually adjustable volume for connection to an active Multiroom or wireless loudspeaker system. - Line with fixed volume for connection to a recording device, etc …

Warning: In order to play 5.1 multi-channel recordings (Dolby Digital

or DTS) via the ZONE 2/LINE OUT the “dynamic” setting in the System Menu should be set to “comp”. For normal playback we recommend that you use the “full” setting (see page 40). In order to use Dolby Digital/DTS signals (Bitstream) via Zone 2 you need to select Zone 1 (Main listening zone) as the input. The Sub output allows an active subwoofer to be connected. This needs to be activated in the System Menu (see page 17). If the Sub output is activated the internal subwoofer of the DM System goes through the high pass filter while the external subwoofer goes through the low pass filter at 80Hz.33 DeutschEnglish FrançaisEspagnol Remote control Function keys, menu-dependent functions Number keys Volume keys OK key On/Standby key Function keys, menu-dependent functions Number keys Mute key Menu key Programme keys (only IR mode) Device selection key Personal settings (<preset>) Decoder mode Selected volume Playback mode Selected source Scroll key Exit key Sources selected using the function keys Modes and <preset> selected using the function keys34 Operating the DM System Press to start the DM System. If you want to turn the DM System off again press again. The DM System will go back into Standby mode. Setting up the remote control Insert the batteries supplied into the remote control. Be careful to insert them the correct way up according to the polarity markings (+/-). Using the remote control When all devices are connected to each other and the power has been switched on the Canton DM goes into Standby mode. Press any key to activate the remote control. If the remote control is not used for longer than 30 seconds it goes into idle mode. Press any key to reactivate it. Note: When the device is turned on for the first time it starts the initial installation process automatically (see page 36). If the display shows “keine Verbindung” then there is no radio connection between the remote control and the DM System. Check that the DM System is switched on and connected to the mains power supply or reduce the distance between the remote control and the DM System. Note: If the DM System is disconnected from the mains power supply when it is still switched on it will automatically go back into an active state when it is reconnected to the mains power supply (e.g. via a master or slave multiple socket lead).35 DeutschEnglish FrançaisEspagnol Initial installation Before you can use the DM 90.2 you need to assign the inputs to the connected source devices. You will be asked to do this when you first switch the device on. To get to the input configuration press . Use the “<” and “>” arrow keys to choose names for the connected devices. You must confirm these by pressing “OK”. To exit the input config menu press to save all the entries. Then press to end the initial installation and return to the main menu.

Warning: The arrow keys and may

not be used when assigning the inputs. Inputs that are defined as “not active” are not shown in the main menu.36 Main menu The remote control supplied has 8 function keys that can be used in different ways for different operating modes. The upper and lower sections of the display show the functions of each key. The sources can be selected using the (upper) function keys lying directly above them. If you have more than 3 sources you can use to scroll on to the next page and back. The Volume (V+/-) can be used to adjust the volume of the DM System in all menus (even when controlling IR devices) over 100 levels from 0 to 99. Mute turns the volume off or on. With <select> you can select one of the registered RF devices or a programmed IR device. If more than 8 devices have been registered/ programmed you can use to scroll to the devices that are not currently displayed.37 DeutschEnglish FrançaisEspagnol With you select whether the playback should be in one of the two stereo or surround modes. In addition to the “conventional” Stereo mode the DM System also offers a Wide mode with virtually extended stereo base. In order to allow for the different recording philosophies that are present in music recordings we have implemented two surround modes. Use “surround 2”, above all in cases of poor intelligibility (e.g. if the voice reproduction is unusually flat and incomprehensible).

The system automatically adjusts to the appropriate decoder mode according to the input signal. The following decoder modes are possible: Analog Stereo Analog Surround Virtual Dolby PLII PCM (digital) Stereo PCM Surround Virtual Dolby PLII Dolby 2.0 Stereo Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround Virtual Dolby Digital 2.0 PLII Dolby 5.1 Stereo Dolby Digital Surround Virtual Dolby Digital DTS Stereo DTX Surround Virtual DTS38 Tuner The Canton DM 90.2 has an integrated FM Tuner (VHF) with RDS function. This can be selected using the function keys (radio) in the main menu of the remote control. There you can make the following adjustments: The automatic search is activated by pressing and holding (>2 sec.) the “<” or “>” arrow keys (to search backwards or forwards). During the search process the word “Seek” will appear in the display. The DM System stops automatically at every station with a sufficiently strong signal. The manual search is controlled by pressing on the “<” or “>” keys. This function can be used to fine-tune a radio station or to search manually for stations with a weaker signal. Reduction of hissing in stereo reproduction The DM System automatically uses stereo or mono reproduction depending on the strength of the signal. If you find a stereo reproduction has too much hissing you can use the function key to change it to mono reproduction and reduce the hissing. Saving a radio station To save a radio station in a programme slot press and the programme slot number will start to flash. Use arrow keys and to select from among 50 programme slots. Alternatively you can use the number keys to enter the programme slot number directly. After 5 seconds with no keys pressed the radio station will be saved in the programme slot shown on the display and the programme slot number will stop flashing. Note: The station name, transmitted via RDS, (e.g. HR 1, BR 2, SWR 3, …) will only appear upon selecting a saved radio station if the name appeared on the display at the point of pressing the OK key (the starting point of the saving process). Selecting a saved radio station Use the arrow keys and to select a programme slot. Alternatively you can use the number keys to enter the programme slot number directly.
