Important:
Please read these operating instructions carefully and keep them for reference.
Canton cannot be held liable for any damage resulting from non-compliance with
the following instructions.
Choose a level, dry and clean place for your speakers, away from windows with
direct sunlight, heat sources, vibrations, high humidity and extreme cold.
Never open the housing. Contact your authorized dealer or a qualified repair
specialist in the event of problems or defects.
To prevent damage, your subwoofer may only be operated with the voltage
specified on the nameplate.
To avoid the risk of fire and the possibility of an electric shock, the subwoofer
may not be exposed to rain or high air humidity (> 80%). The device complies
with the valid EMV regulations at an ambient temperature of +10°C… +40°C.
Do not use force on the operating elements, connections or cables. Disconnect the
mains cable and connection cables to other equipment before shifting to another
place. Always pull the plugs and not the cables. Never touch the mains cable with
wet hands.
To protect the amplifiers of the DM-System from overheating, a minimum space
of 5 cm from walls and furniture must be observed when setting up the
equipment. Avoid heat accumulation and do not cover your DM-System with
curtains, tablecloths etc.
To avoid image interference, ensure that there is sufficient space (min. 1 m)
between the subwoofer and the TV (tube TVs only). This does not include the
DM 90, since it is magnetically shielded like all other components of the DM
system (satellites and central speaker) and can be positioned directly next to the
TV set without any problems.
Do not place your DM-System close to heat sources or open flames (e.g.
candles). Please disconnect the DM-System from the mains when not in use for
longer periods, during thunder storms or in the event of flooding.
Do not place any objects on the DM housing. Oscillations and vibrations can
damage them.
Do not insert any objects or body parts into the subwoofer opening DM 1 and
DM 2). Live components inside the housing could get touched and damaged. This
can lead to short circuiting, electric shocks and fire.
Turn down the volume immediately if sound distortions, such as unnatural
knocking, beating or high-frequency clicking can be heard.
While in playback mode distortions can be heard like e.g. unnatural knocking,
pounding or high frequency clicking, the volume level is immediately to be
reduced.
Do not use any chemical solutions to clean the equipment. Use a clean, dry cloth.
If exposed to severe temperature fluctuations, condensation (water drops) can
form inside the subwoofer. In this case, wait for at least 2 hours until the moisture
has evaporated before putting the equipment into operation.
The batteries in the remote control must be disposed of at a waste battery
collection point. Batteries should be kept out of the reach of children. Batteries
must be inserted correctly, as shown on the polarity label. Only use the battery or
rechargeable battery types specified for this system (LR03 AAA 1.5V). The
batteries supplied with the system are not rechargeable, so please do not attempt
to do so.
The mains plug must always be accessible so that it can be removed in an
emergency!
The correct setup and connection of the subwoofer are the responsibility of the
user. Canton will not accept any responsibility for damage or injuries caused
by incorrect setup or faulty connection.
Warning: Listening to music at high volume levels, in particular for a longer
period, can lead to hearing damage.

System Description
The virtual surround systems of the DM-series produce a full-value acoustic field that is only possible otherwise with 5.1 systems. To do so, the
individual channels are processed specifically per frequency into a multi-channel recording and mixed into two channels in such a way that a spatial
surround impression is given when played back. This means minimum installation expense and effort for a great sound. The systems have an
integrated FM tuner and an intelligent remote control which can also be used to control a second listening zone (multi-room). If the remote control
provided with this system should not funktion, please refer to the chapter „Troubleshooting and Optimization“ on page 62.
Dear Customer,
Welcome to the Canton family and many thanks for the trust you have shown us by purchasing this system. You have chosen a top-quality
loudspeaker system, thus demonstrating the high demands you place on sound and finishing quality.
Please read these instructions carefully before setting up and connecting your DM system. They will help you to get optimum benefits from your
systems. Canton operates a distribution network in more than 40 countries. Should you have any questions, this team of experienced distributors
will be pleased to assist you, along with our authorized dealers.
The Canton Team wishes you lots of pleasure and many years of satisfaction with your DM system.

Positioning the loudspeakers
The central surround loudspeaker (DM 1 and DM 90) should be placed below or above the TV set. A flat screen tv may be placed directly on the
DM 90. The satellites of the DM 2 system, on the other hand, are best positioned to the right and left of the image reproduction unit. The distance
between the satellites should be no more than 4m. The subwoofer serves simultaneously as the central control unit of your digital movie system
and can be placed wherever you like in the room. The preferred position, however, is one which is close to the TV and signal sources, because this
enables you to keep the necessary connection cables short. When using a tube TV set, you should keep a minimum space of one meter between
the subwoofer and the TV. The DM 90 has the amplifier build in the active central surround loudspeaker.

Connecting the loudspeakers
DM 1/ DM 2
Use the supplied loudspeaker cables to connect the
speakers to the screw terminals „Front Left“ and
„Front Right“ on the back of the subwoofer (strip
approx. 1 cm of the insulation off the cable ends).
Please observe the correct polarity, red for plus (+) and
black for minus (-). Use the markings on the supplied
cable for this purpose. The connection for the center
speaker is only active in 5.1 mode, which can be
switched on via the service setup (see Page 61).
Important: Only connect your active subwoofer to the
mains once all connections to the other audio/video
components have been made. You can then turn the
mains switch to the „ON“ position.
Cut the cable to the required lengths (ideally two cables
of equal length).
Ensure that the stripped cable ends do not have contact
with the back of the housing (risk of short-circuiting!)
Connecting the loudspeakers DM 90
Since the DM 90 is internally wired, connecting the
speakers is not neccessary.

Connecting source devices
The Canton DM systems offer a variety of connection options for all
standard source devices, such as DVD players, video recorders,
satellite receivers, multimedia consoles (Playstation®, X-Box®, ...)
etc. To do so, the audio connections of your source devices are
connected to the corresponding terminals on the back of the
subwoofer (1) or the DM 90 (DVD to DVD, video recorder to VCR
etc. ...). Source devices with a digital output for Dolby Digital and
DTS Bitstreams should also be connected digitally to the DM system.
This guarantees full Dolby Digital and DTS sound quality.
The video signal connections are made directly between the
source devices and the image reproduction unit. The selection of
the image source to be reproduced is made directly in the
selection menu of the television (3).
A digital satellite receiver can be connected with the DM system via
an optical or coaxial digital input, as desired. To do so, the desired
input on the back of the active subwoofer or the DM 90 must be
selected per slide switch (OPT/COAX).

To be able to use the integrated FM tuner in the DM system, you
must plug the supplied throw-out antenna into the corresponding
socket in the subwoofer. The antenna should be stretched open for
better reception. We recommend connection to a broadband cable
or roof antenna for optimum reception.
The 2.1/5.1 MODE output enables the connection of active wireless
loudspeakers, for example. Depending on the setting selected in the
service setup (Page 61), the front channels are put out in the 2.1
mode and the surround loudspeakers in the 5.1 mode.
The LINE OUT/ZONE 2 (DM 1 and DM 2) or ZONE 2/SUB OUT
(DM 90) output can provide the output options selectable in the
remote control’s Parameter Setup menu:
- LINE OUT (DM 1 and DM 2), with a fixed volume level to the
connection of an analog recording device.
- ZONE 2, with a separately adjustable volume to the connection of
an active multi-room and/or wireless loudspeaker system.
- SUB OUT (DM 90), output for an optional active subwoofer.
Note: If you are using an active subwoofer with the DM 90 please set
the volume level for the subwoofer in the „Speaker Setup“to -6dB
and increase the level at the subwoofer by 6dB.
You will find more information on this on Page 53.

Starting up the remote control
Please insert the supplied batteries into the remote control in compliance with the polarity markings (+/-).
Once all of the devices have been connected with one another and the
mains switch on the subwoofer is switched on, the Canton DM system is in
standby mode. The remote control is activated by pressing any key once.
If it is not used for longer than 30 seconds, it returns to the standby mode.
It is reactivated by pressing any key.
The DM system is switched on and/or put into standby mode by pressing
the Power key.
If „no connection“ shows up in the display, there is no wireless connection
between the remote control and the subwoofer. If this happens, please
check that the subwoofer is switched on or plugged in or, if necessary,
reduce the distance between the two.
Using the remote control
The supplied remote control has 12 keys which can be used for different
functions, depending on the operating mode. The functions of the 4 keys
directly below are shown in the lower part of the display.

The volume of the DM system can be regulated in 100 increments from
0..99 via < volume > in the main menu and in the IR mode. If the DM
system is in one of the sub-menus, the volume cannot be altered in the
DM or IR mode.
When you switch on, the remote control starts off in the main menu.
From there, you can access the Speaker Setup and Parameter Setup via
the Menu key. This provides you with more adjustment options. The
remote control menus are set up in a loop, which means that you will
always arrive back at the starting point by pressing in one direction.
You can switch between the logged on RF devices, such as DM 1 and
DM 2, and the memorized remote control codes in the IR mode with
< select >.
Note: The functions of the < select > keys are only activated when at
least one additional device has been logged on and/or programmed by
you in addition to the DM system already logged on.
You will find more information on this on Page 58.

Mute switches the sound off and on.
Use to select whether the sound is to be reproduced in
the stereo or surround mode. The system sets the corresponding
decode mode automatically, depending on the input signal.
Stereo or PCM are activated as analog sound in the „stereo“
play mode, Virtual Dolby Digital, Virtual Dolby Pro Logic II or
Virtual DTS in the „surround 1 und surround 2 / 2.1 mode“ play
mode and Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II or DTS in the
„surround 5.1 mode“ play mode.
Note: To do justice to the various recording philosophies,
especially with music recordings, we have implemented two
surround modes. Use „surround 2“ above all when the speech is
difficult to understand (e.g. when the voice reproduction seems
to be unusually muffled and unintelligible).
