Function Description
The Canton Digital Movie 50 is a soundbar system that combines high-quality components with advanced development experience and meticulous production methods to deliver pure music and immersive sound. It features three optional inputs, allowing for flexible connectivity with various audio sources. The system is designed for indoor use and should be positioned on a flat surface beneath a screen, supporting up to 40 kg.
The soundbar offers multiple playback modes, including Stereo for music and Surround for virtual surround sound in home cinema settings. It also includes sound adjustments for Bass and Treble, allowing users to fine-tune the audio output to their preferences. The system can be controlled via a supplied remote control, which features dedicated buttons for power, mute, input selection, volume control, play mode, sound adjustments, and Bluetooth pairing.
A key feature of the Digital Movie 50 is its Bluetooth connectivity, enabling wireless playback from mobile devices. The system supports Bluetooth 2.0 and aptX® software, ensuring high-quality audio streaming. The registration process for Bluetooth pairing is straightforward, guiding users through selecting the Bluetooth input, pressing the pairing button, and connecting their mobile device. Once paired, the system automatically connects to the most recently used device when Bluetooth is active.
The soundbar also incorporates an IR learning function, allowing it to learn the infrared codes from a TV remote control. This feature enables users to control both the soundbar and their TV with a single remote, simplifying their entertainment setup. Users can allocate soundbar functions to any key on their TV remote, with instructions provided to avoid conflicts with TV device functions.
Extended sound functions are accessible through a dedicated menu, offering options to correct out-of-sync playback (LIP), activate an external subwoofer output (SUB OUT), and adjust playback settings based on the listening environment (EQ settings). The EQ settings provide three pre-set equalizer configurations: EQ-1 for free-standing placement (factory setting), EQ-2 for placement with a flat-screen TV on top, and EQ-3 for placement in a rack or on a shelf.
