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:
SUB
DIGITAL MOVIE
DVD
DVDTV
TV
AUX
AUX
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 transmis-
sion and best sound quality.
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.

Troubleshooting
Here is an overview of the most common problems. If you have any further questions please contact your Canton dealer,
call our Service Hotline on [phone] or send us an e-mail at [e-mail].
Problem Possible cause Solution
DM System does not
turn on.
Power cable not connected to the power outlet
and /or DM System
Check connection.
Sound reproduction
too soft.
Volume of DM System set too low. Increase the volume using the “Volume” button.
Increase the volume of the source device.
DM System does not
respond to remote
control.
The battery is empty. Replace battery, observe correct polarity at insertion.
No sound
reproduction.
1. Sound format of the source device wrongly
selected (Digital input “TV” and “DVD”)
1. Please check the correct setting of your source device (see
Page 6). “DTS” or “Dolby Digital” coded output formats
cannot be reproduced.
2. Source device not producing any signal. 2. Digital output on the source device not activated (please
refer to device instructions).
3. Cable not correctly connected/faulty cable. 3. Check the connection of the source device to the DM
System and change the cable where necessary.
English

37
Problem Possible cause Solution
DM System hums. 1. Signal lines from source device to DM System
too long.
1. Use shorter signal line.
2. Signal line used is not fault-protected or the
protection has been damaged (defective).
2. Change signal line for a fault-protected line.
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 devices connected to the DM System into a multiple
socket output using safety plugs.
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 disap-
pears or connect the source of interference to a different
circuit (L1, L2 or L3). (Where necessary take advice from
your electrician.) Insert a special “ferrite common mode
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).
English

38
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. You are out of range.
2.3. Set the volume on the mobile end device to maximum.
2.4. Increase the volume of the DM System.
2.5. Ensure that interference sources like a WLAN router
or laptop are not set up in direct proximity of the DM
System.
2.6. Concurrent operation of WLAN and Bluetooth from a
mobile end device is not possible without interferences
in most cases. (Disable WLAN at your mobile device.)
