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. 32
