SOUND ADVICE

The Hegel H1 Integrated Amplifier is easy to connect and operate and requires no prior technical
knowledge. However, to get the most out of the amplifier's superior sound and music quality, we have
provided a brief description of the connections and use of the amplifier in order to provide a total
music experience.

We recommend keeping this user guide for future reference.

GENERAL USE

The amplifier is switched on with the button in the middle of the front panel. A blue light indicates it is
switched on. To the left the channel selector with selections: Balanced, DVD, CD, Tape, Tuner and
Auxiliary and to the right the volume control. A blue light will show the selected input channel.
The default input when switching on the H1 is the balanced input.

When the mute button on the Hegel Remote Control is pressed the speaker outputs are muted. Mute is
indicated by a flashing blue power light. To go back to normal operation press the mute button on the
remote control one more time.

Avoid connecting input cables or selecting inputs with the source selector switch if the volume setting
of the amplifier is not fully turned down.

After the amplifier is switched on, there is a delay of some seconds for the music signal to reach the
speaker outputs.

To get the best sound possible we recommend to use the H1 amplifier with a high quality sound
source, a very good choice would be the Hegel CD2A CD-player.
