The D/A converter must never be placed on a carpet or similar surface that obstructs air circulation through the unit.
The product must not be exposed to rain or moisture. VOLTAGE SETTING Underneath the HD11 there is a red switch to toggle between 115V (use for 100-120V) and 230V mains voltage. Please check and confirm that the setting is correct for your country before use. If you are uncertain of the correct setting, please consult your Hegel dealer.
