Recommended ambient operating temperature 5 to 35°C. Allow adequate air circulation

around the whole of the Apollo CD player especially when running for extended periods

of time. This unit is intended for use in moderate climates. To reduce the risk of re, electric

shock or product damage, do not expose the unit to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing

and ensure that no objects lled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed upon it. Do not

remove the case covers. There are no user serviceable parts inside. No naked ame sources,

such as lit candles, should be placed on the apparatus. Refer the servicing to qualied Rega

dealers only.

The laser component in this product is capable of emitting radiation exceeding the limit for Class 1.

CLASS 1

LASER PRODUCT

This appliance is classied as a CLASS 1 LASER product.

To the best of our understanding, there have only ever been ve large multinational

companies with the technology and knowledge base to develop the remarkably complex

operating software for CD players. Development of this software and chip-sets to operate

CD transports was generally curtailed in the 1990’s. After this time, all development eort

was directed towards the design of DVD players and other advanced formats.

Rega and other specialist hi- manufacturers were totally reliant on companies like Sony and

Philips to supply transports and their operating chip-sets. In 2003 Sony stopped supply and

sent the specialist hi- industry into a urry of activity in search of feasible alternatives.

Many manufacturers were able to resource their supply from Far Eastern companies.

Rega worked hard to locate a British software company who were developing a totally

new disc operating system. A system, which was highly advanced, even in the early

development stages.

Rega was the only manufacturer to develop the unique new disc operating system. Due to

ever increasing computer processing power and memory capacity, it was possible to build

in an enormous increase in memory capability. This allowed the data retrieval to meet the

original CD ‘Red Book’ specications without compromise to the musical performance.

All previous chip-sets were unable to achieve this due to their limited memory and signal

processing capacity.

Rega’s British designed chip-set delivers superior error correction and signal processing

capacity. This enhances the sonic performance of the player and delivers a unique level of

musicality. The Apollo is the latest version of Rega’s bestselling CD player housed in a brand

new case. The Apollo’s unique sound harmonises with the rest of our products and will

integrate into any music system seamlessly.

We hope you enjoy this very special CD player. We have spent a very long time creating it,

drawing on more than 40 years of experience in specialist hi- manufacturing.

Ensure the operating voltage of the Apollo (stated on the rear) is the same as that of your

local power supply.

The Apollo will work well on most surfaces, such as a shelf, table, stand or wall bracket.

The Apollo should be placed to allow adequate access to the lid and aperture. If access is

limited, there is a danger of scratching the CD when placing it on the ball chuck system.

installation

A standard interconnect provides entirely satisfactory performance for the Apollo

CD player.

Audiophiles may wish to upgrade to a more exotic interconnect at a later stage, such as

Rega’s Couple 2.

interconnects

Outputs are made via RCA (Phono) type connector and the ‘Toslink’ optical connection.

The sockets on the Rega products are clearly marked to help identify them.

Line Out: For output to an audio amplier.

Right: Always the lower row and marked in RED.

Left: Always the upper row and marked in WHITE.

! CAUTION: SOME AMPLIFIERS AND INTERCONNECTS HAVE BLACK COLOUR

CODING FOR THE LEFT CHANNEL !

Digital Out: For output to digital components such as DAC, PC or Bluetooth transmitter.

Always check that the connecting component is compatible with 44.1k coaxial S/PDIF input.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS TURN OFF THE PLAYER WHEN CHANGING LEADS.

After the disc has been initialised, select the PLAY function on either the remote or front

panel. The disc will start playing from track 1 of the rst album on the disc regardless of

disc content.

NB: If playing CDR’s, they must be recorded at no greater than 8x as we cannot

guarantee the readability of the disc.

Once playing the CD, you can then activate the PAUSE function by pressing the PAUSE

button on the remote or pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button on the front panel. PAUSE will

then hold track position until the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed on either the remote or

front panel.

Once PLAY is activated again, the display shows all information about the track and will

continue to play from the held position.

the handling of cds

To keep the CD clean, handle by its edge only. Do not touch the surface; natural oils from

skin can stop the laser from reading the disc accurately.

Do not expose the disc to bright sunlight, leave near hot places such as electrical equipment

or in a parked car. Excess heat can cause the disc to warp.

Do not use any cleaning uids or anti-static sprays on the disc as they could damage the disc

or the player.

Store the disc in its case when not in use to prevent it from becoming scratched.

care of player

warning

misuse of the player could invalidate your rega warranty.

Do not touch the lens or electronic parts inside the player. It is a very sensitive optical device

and is easily damaged. If dirt gets on the lens, the player may not work.

Do not attempt to clean the lens or lubricate in any way. Fluids and abrasive

materials could easily damage the lens. Your Rega dealer will be trained in cleaning

this component, but provided you take care with your player, it should not need any

servicing.

Do not leave the lid open, as dust will get into the player and onto the lens.

Do not drop objects into the player. If any objects fall into the player, switch o and

disconnect from the mains supply immediately and contact your Rega dealer.

Do not open the case or stick implements into it to retrieve the item.

If you are not going to use the player for a long time, we recommend that you switch it o.

Always pull the plug itself when disconnecting from the wall socket, never the cord.
