SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

Display On/Off

The DISP button on the RC8 remote control may be used to turn the display of the H300 on or off.

Holding the DISP button for more than 1 seconds will turn the display off, while giving the button a shorter 

push will turn the display on.

DAC-loop

This function makes it possible to upgrade the digital inputs of the H300 with an external high-end DAC. 

This is done by connecting the re-clocked coaxial digital output of the H300 to the external DAC.

The output of the external DAC will need to be connected to the balanced input of the H300.

With the DAC-Loop activated and a digital source input selected, the H300 will enable the selected digital 

source input while selecting the balanced source input as the active input.

This makes the external DAC able to receive the re-clocked digital signal, convert it and send it back to the 

H300 through its balanced input.

The DAC-Loop is activated/deactivated by holding the DAC+ button of the RC8 while pressing the IN+ but-

ton. A dot after the last digit of the displayed source input will indicate that DAC-Loop is activated. When 

selecting a digital source input with DAC-Loop activated, the display will read BAL for a short time. This 

indicates that both the selected digital input and the balanced input are active.

IR in

The IR in connection is a remote control input that may be connected to a wired remote control system or 

an IR repeater. This input may be used to control the H300 in the same way that a Hegel remote control 

would.

Set Power Up Volume

A user defined volume value may be used as the power up volume.

As a precaution the power up volume value is limited to a maximum level.

The current volume is set as the power up volume by pressing and holding the DAC+ button while pressing 

Vol- on the RC8 remote control.

Reset to factory default settings

By pressing and holding the DAC+ button while pressing Mute on the RC8, the H300 will be reset to fac-

tory settings. This will clear all user defined settings and reinitialize the H300.
