Please read these instructions carefully and retain them so that you can refer to them again in future.

Canton does not accept liability for any damages resulting from the non-observance of the following points.

Select a base that is as level as possible for your DM System. Make sure the location is dry and clean and away from windows with direct sunlight, heat sources, vibrations, moisture and extreme cold. When setting it up on a smooth surface you should use the rubber feet supplied.

Never open the cabinet. If you come across any problems or defects contact your dealer or a qualified technician.

In order to avoid damaging your DM System it should only be used with the voltage specified on the nameplate.

In order to avoid the risk of fire or electric shocks the DM System should not be subjected to rain or high humidity ( >80% ). The equipment complies with the current EMV regulations at an ambient temperature of +10^+40^ .

Do not apply force to the operating elements, connections or cables. To move the DM System to another location first unplug the mains cable and then disconnect it from other devices. Always pull on the plugs rather than the cable. Never touch the mains cable with wet hands.

In order to prevent the DM System from overheating it should be set up at a minimum distance of 5 cm from any walls or pieces of furniture. Avoid any heat accumulation and never cover your DM System with curtains, tablecloths etc.

Do not site your DM System close to heat sources or open flames (e.g. candles).

Do not put anything on top of the cabinet of the DM System or in front of the bass reflex opening, in particular no containers filled with liquids. Movement and vibration can lead to objects being damaged.

Do not insert any objects or parts of the body into the opening of the cabinet as live components inside the cabinet may be touched and damaged. This could lead to short circuits, electric shock or fire.

If the sound reproduction is marred by distortions such as unnatural knocking, throbbing or high frequency clicking the volume should be turned down immediately.

Do not use any chemical solutions to clean the device. Use a dry, clean cloth.

Extreme changes in temperature can cause condensation to form inside the DM System. Do not use the device until the moisture has evaporated (at least 2 hours).

The remote control batteries must be disposed of at a proper battery recycling centre. Batteries should be kept out of reach of children. Batteries must be inserted the right way up. Only use the batteries specified for use with this system (LR03 AAA 1.5V) or rechargeable batteries. The batteries supplied are not rechargeable and may therefore not be recharged.

Access to the mains plug should be kept clear at all times so that the device can be unplugged in case of emergency. For your own safety please unplug the DM System from the mains if it is likely to be unused for a long period or in the event of thunderstorms or potential flooding.

The user is responsible for making sure that the device is correctly set up and correctly connected to the mains. Canton does not accept any liability for damages or accidents caused by improper set up or connection.

Warning: Listening to music at high volume, in particular over a long period of time, can damage your hearing.

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).

Package contents DM 90.2

The Digital Movie System DM 90.2 is supplied with the following components:

1) An active Center Surround loudspeaker with integrated audio receiver (including RDS-enabled FM Tuner).
2) A cable set for connecting 3 digital and 2 analog sources.
3) An easy-to-use remote control with display panel.
4) A coaxial cable for connection to a broadband cable network.
5) A power cable for connection to the mains power supply.

Connecting the DM 90.2

There is no need to connect up the individual "loudspeakers" with the DM 90.2 as all the wiring is internal.

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 consoles (Playstation®, X-Box®, ...) etc. The audio connections for your source devices need to be connected to the corresponding 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 reproduction 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 audio 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.

With mode 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.

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 lmst function key to change it to mono reproduction and reduce the hissing.

Programming the main keys

The DM System has 5 main keys (Programme +/-, Volume +/- and Mute), which can be allocated to the IR codes of other infrared-controlled devices. Follow the steps shown above.

Warning: The Volume +/- and Mute keys can only be used for infrared-controlled devices if no DM System has been registered. The volume control of the DM System will take priority over all other IR devices.

Register your remote control with a DM System

To register the remote control on a (further) DM System open the Programme Menu by pressing exit and m simultaneously. Select "RF Learn" and confirm this with ok. Select "new device" to register a DM System on the remote control. After confirmation you will be asked to connect the DM System to be programmed to the mains power supply and to switch it on. Before doing this you should ensure that the DM System had been disconnected from the mains power supply for at least 1 minute. The remote control will now try to connect with the newly activated DM System. A successful connection will be shown in the display as "Installation successful", while failure will bring the message "Installation failed". If the connection has failed you should identify the problem (device not switched on, distance too great, DM System not disconnected from the mains power supply for long enough, etc) and start the process again. After successful installation you must enter a name for the DM System. If you enter a name (e.g. DM 90) more than once the remote control will automatically allocate it a subscript (e.g. DM90.1, DM 90.2 ...). You can then exit the "RF-Learn" menu by pressing exit twice.

If you wish to overwrite an existing DM System, instead of selecting "new device" you should select the system you wish to replace and confirm your selection with ok. Select the "Learn" function to proceed. Confirm the overwriting with the "yes" function key or abort the process with "no". Continue as previously described under "new device".

De-register your remote control from a DM System

To de-register your remote control from a DM System open the Programme Menu by pressing the exit and m simultaneously, select "RF Learn" and confirm with ok. Select the system you wish to "delete" and confirm your selection with ok. Select and confirm the "Clear" function to continue. Complete the de-registration process by pressing the "yes" function key or abort the process with "no".

General maintenance advice

In order to ensure that your Canton loudspeakers continue to give you pleasure for a long time please follow these care instructions: Never expose the loudspeaker cabinet to direct sunlight. Avoid extremes of temperature and protect your loudspeaker from humidity. Do not clean the surface of the cabinet with alcoholic or abrasive cleaning agents. Use of a lint-free cloth is recommended.

Play-in time

A loudspeaker needs a play-in time of approx. 15 – 20 operating hours to develop its full performance potential. During this time the properties of all the mechanical parts alter until they reach the values laid down in the design of the loudspeaker, i.e. the chassis suspension becomes more flexible and the playback quality improves.
