About this deal

When Kitai dives into the waterfall to avoid becoming eagle prey, the sound of falling water is crisp and enveloping, with plenty of fine detail to give it depth and texture rather than being one mass of sound. But when I demoed with the sub connected at richer sounds the quality for music improved, so I can imagine if I connect bk xls400 with this I will have the best of both worlds.

A helpful automatic on/off function fires up the unit when it detects a signal on the optical or coaxial inputs and shuts down after 30 seconds if there’s no signal. Simply turn off your TV before going to bed and the soundbase will automatically follow suit. Your music or TV is controlled via a free app on your computer, smartphone or tablet. From the app you can choose what music you want to play in a variety of ways. Numerous streaming services such as Spotify or Deezer can be accessed as well as internet radio stations or your iTunes (or equivalent) music library. You can stream music directly from your smartphone or tablet – but really you’re better off using your device as a controller. TV is just another source you can choose from the app: Selecting TV source from Sonos app You can place TVs weighing up to 40kg on top, provided the stand fits well within the 545mm by 300mm surface area. If you have a TV over 50in, I’d recommend stepping up to the DM75 or DM100. Another option not officially supported by Sonos, is to connect all your devices via their optical output to an optical switch. This can be advantageous since some TVs don’t pass through exactly what they are sent. For example they may downsample 5.1 Dolby Digital to stereo. If you only have a Sky box connected to your TV, I’d connect directly from the Sky box to the Playbar to ensure any 5.1 content is played correctly. Canton's DM100 isn’t just a larger version of the more junior models with more drivers – two tweeters, four midrange and four bass drivers – and more power (200W). It introduces several new features, including a Voice sound setting to boost dialogue clarity, automatic selection of Bluetooth input, and an IR delete function for the removal of unwanted remote control commands.

Canton DM 75 soundbase review

What’s more, design and build quality are superb, while the terrific remote and a smattering of new features make it a joy to use. The 9 driver Sonos Playbar is part of a complete wireless music system and can link wirelessly with all the other components in the Sonos range , including powered speakers like the Sonos Play:1 and wireless receivers like the Connect:Amp, that will turn a set of passive speakers into a streaming HiFi system.

I have tested my SK10Y with rears and have no lip sync issues with my Apple TV 4K, Shield TV and Nintendo switch when they are connected directly to my LG B8. I currently connect my Shield straight to the soundbar so I receive lossless audio (TrueHD ATMOS) and connected my Apple TV 4K direct to TV which I can receive lossy DD+ with Atmos with Netflix and iTunes. Highs are clear and sharp, but amid new competition can teeter on the edge of brightness at volume. It’s not uncomfortable, but it does add to the slight feeling of fragility when compared to the likes of the Solo 15 and Geneva Model Cinema. All of the issues do the exact same thing on my daughters tv so it can surely only be the soundbar as that's what the devices are connected to?? I've tried three full sets of hdmi cables in addition to two separate TV's and still have the same input issues. The bar is running the latest firmware and I've also reset it. Watching movies with this seems far better experience than when I had my floorstanders there is a vast amount of detail and clarity. Alike a full-sized home cinema speaker, the Canton DM75 Soundbase has a three-way base reflex layout. It comes with nine chunky buttons, two drivers, four woofers, two fabric tweeters, and Bluetooth 4.0 with apt-X. Its DTS TruSurround, on-board Dolby Digital decoding and DTS processing technology are great for TVs and soundbars like this. This great one-box setup creates an ultimate room filling sound space without any rear speakers and is easy to setup.Sonos can operate in two modes: standard wireless mode and bridge mode. In bridge mode, all the Sonos components connect to each other directly, forming an ad-hoc network. This makes for a very robust wireless system, particularly if you have difficulty with wireless reception around your house. I’m satisfied with this soundbar especially with Atmos, the heights are really good and you can hear the separation it’s not to front heavy especially when you have the rears which is a must when watching 7.1 or Atmos. DD 5.1 is decent as well the soundbar can create a faux virtual Atmos sound which gives great atmosphere. I had a Samsung MS650 before and the SK10Y has a much wider sound, the only thing I wish it had was a little higher and balanced centre volume for voices, even after the update, because the music and effects can get loud compared to people speaking, also I wish they update to DTS X but that looks like not happening since the new models this year are having them. On hdmi 2 on the bar the blu ray player intermittently displays that horrible static image I sent a video of last time or Displays no image at all. The devices work fine when plugged straight into the tv but there's lipsync issues via arc which you can't adjust sufficiently so it's in sync.

Resist the urge to push the bass level up to 3 and you’ll enjoy seamless, non-directional bass that doesn’t sound boomy. Its natural agility and seamless integration keeps your eyes on the action, not the bass controls. Just bought a canton dm75 today after downgrading from my tannoy v4i 5.0 and Sony 1040 because didn't have much space in my room and also decorating my room and didn't want to much speaker wires all over the room.The Canton DM75 Soundbase is the perfect match for a larger TV that's in a bigger room. This type of home cinema speaker has gained a strong foothold in the market with its discreet design, superb built quality, powerful bass, and crystal clear details. It delivers an outstanding performance. The DM75 featues optical and coaxial digital inputs along with a pair of analogues and aptX Bluetooth to enable wireless streaming of music from your smartphone or other bluetooth enabled device. There’s no doubting the Canton DM75 is an excellent soundbase – we gave it an Award after all – but with the introduction of some fresh new rivals, there are now some things that put its fifth star on shaky ground. Switching from stereo to surround mode, I noticed the soundstage opening up and spreading beyond the physical dimensions of the unit. That’s all you can really ask for from a virtual surround mode, unless you start dabbling in pricey beam-projection technology. The Canton doesn’t come close to true surround, nor did we expect it to. Joining the Stereo and DTS TruSurround from previous models is a new Voice mode that gives speech frequencies a boost, and a Hotel mode that lets you set a maximum volume limit. Two-channel Dolby Digital decoding is also on board. Canton DM100 – Setup & Operation
