USER GUIDE
Congratulations with your new HEGEL product!
The Hegel H160 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.
GENERAL USE
On/Off
The H160 amplifier is switched on and off with the power button, located on the bottom of the amplifier, on the left
side, close to the front panel. When powered up, the H160 takes a few seconds to calibrate. During this time, the
outputs are muted.
NOTE: When powered up the outputs are muted and the right hand part of the display flashes for a few seconds,
indicating mute. This is normal, and is part of the start-up procedure.
NOTE: When the H160 has been switched off, wait 30 seconds before powering on again.
Display
The left side of the display shows the selected source input, while the volume value is shown on the right side of the
display. A flashing volume value indicates the amplifier is in mute mode.
Source Selector
The input source selector knob is on the left side of the front panel. The three letters indicate the selected source
input.
Volume
The volume control knob is on the right side of the front panel. The volume level is indicated by a number between 0
and 99 in the right side of the display, with 0 being the mute leven and 99 being max volume. The H160 powers up
with a preset volume value. The volume level is adjusted by turning the volume knob clockwise or counter clockwise,
or by using the Hegel remote control.
Headphone output
Connect the 6.3mm headphone jack to the front of the H160. This activates the headphone volume control and
mutes speaker outputs.
NOTE: Pre Out and Line Out are still active.
Mute
Pressing the mute button on the Hegel remote control mutes the speaker outputs and the variable line output. The
volume number flashes to indicate that mute is on. Press the mute button or adjust the volume level to switch mute
off.
Status indicators
The Hegel H160 will display the product status.
