INTRODUCTION
To the best of our understanding, there have only ever been five 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 effort
was directed towards the design of DVD players and other advanced formats.
Rega and other specialist hi-fi manufacturers were totally reliant on companies like Sony
and Philips to supply transports and their operating chip-sets. n 2003 Sony stopped supply
and sent the specialist hi-fi industry into a flurry 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' specifications 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 new British designed chip set contains over 20MB of memory with 32 bit digital
signal processing capacity and Rega has used this computing power to give a far greater
musical performance.
We hope you enjoy this very special CD player. We have spent a very long time creating it,
drawing on all of our nearly 40 years of experience in specialist hi-fi manufacturing.

DESIGN INNOVATION
The Venus-
R
: The latest version of Rega’s best selling CD player.
Rega were the last major specialist hi-fi manufacturer to make a CD player. We have
used this time to observe the development of the medium.
Rega believed that we should develop our own product that came from our own
philosophies concerning sound quality, reliability and value for money.
The venus-
R
CD player has a unique sound that harmonises with the rest of our
products and we feel offers greater musical performance than the usual hi-fi
approach.
Our proven top loading design remains for several reasons. Firstly, complex motorised
tray mechanisms are vulnerable to wear and therefore a cause of unreliability.
Secondly, the use of our underslung transport location allows engineers immediate
access, if service is needed.
Housed in a brand new case, the Venus-
R
draws on the pedigree of the previous
incarnations of this model.

INSTALLATION
Ensure the operating voltage of the Venus-
R
(stated on the rear) is the same
as that of your local power supply.
The Venus-
R
will work well on most surfaces, such as a shelf, table, stand or wall
bracket.
The Venus-
R
should be placed to allow adequate access to the lid and aperture.
f access is limited, there is a danger of scratching the CD when placing it on the ball
chuck system.
INTERCONNECTS
A standard interconnect provides entirely satisfactory performance for the
Venus-
R
CD player.
Audiophiles may wish to upgrade to a more exotic interconnect at a later stage, such
as Rega's Couple 2.

OUT UT CONNECTIONS
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 amplifier.
Right: Always the lower row and marked in RED.
Left: Always the upper row and marked in WHITE.
! CAUTION: SOME AM LIFIERS AND INTERCONNECTS HAVE BLACK COLOUR
CODING FOR THE LEFT CHANNEL !
Digital Out: For output to digital components such as D.A converter, digital processor,
DAT or MD. Always check that the connecting component is compatible with 44.1k coaxial
S/PD F input)
IM ORTANT: ALWAYS TURN OFF THE LAYER WHEN CHANGING LEADS.

LOADING A DISC
Open lid and place CD onto three point ball chuck.
Close lid and wait for the player to initialise the disc (initialisation can take up to 12
seconds). This checks to see if its CDA (WAV Red Book), MP3 or WMA format. (The
Venus-
R
locks out both remote and keypad functions whilst initialising the disc
until track 1 total time is displayed.)
The display will then show the contents of the disc.
CDA’s will show - Total number of tracks, total time and the CD symbol.
M 3’s will show - Total number of tracks, total albums and ‘MP3’

can handle a maximum of 999 tracks and 99 albums when playing
MP3 and WMA. This should be considered when compiling MP3 & WMA discs. The music
calendar is active for CDA (WAV) Red book and is not active for WMA, MP3 & M X.
LAYING OR AUSING THE DISC
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 first album on the disc
regardless of disc content.
The Display will show:
The play symbol, showing that the disc is playing.
CDA’s will display track number and time.
M 3 and WMA will show the name of the track, track number and time. t will also
show the album (index) number.
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 LAY/ AUSE button on the front panel.
Pause will then hold track position until the LAY/ AUSE 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 held position.
STO ING THE LAYER
Pressing the STO button on either the remote or front panel will stop the current
action and return the player back to track 1 album 1.
Whilst in ‘stopping mode’ the player locks out all other functions.
TRACK REVIOUS
Pressing once while the disc is playing, the current track will start again from the
beginning.
Pressing again in quick succession will take you to the start of the previous track.
TRACK NEXT
Pressing once while the disc is playing, the next track will start from the beginning.
Pressing again takes you to the beginning of the next track after that, etc.......
f the TRACK buttons are pressed in pause and stop modes, a specific track can be
selected and when the LAY button is pressed, the selected track will start from the
beginning.
