NOTE:
Most CDRom drives can be used in a RGCD2 & CD5ENR
but before buying/installing a different drive, check that
it has a “Digital Out” connector on the rear, and a “Play”
button.
If you are temporarily unable to source a drive, a stan-
dard CD Player can be connected to supply the trans-
port and digital stream for the DAC.
To Remove the CDROM drive:-
1/ Turn off the power and remove the power cord.
2/ Turn the RGCD2 or CD5ENR upside down, holding
the front panel firmly closed.
3/ Loosen the 4 clamping screws by rotating them 3 or
4 turns - do this CAREFULLY as this will release the
CDROM drive and it can now slip out if tilted!
4/ Holding the REDGUM wood front panel firmly closed,
turn the RGCD2 or CD5ENR right side up. Now open the
front panel.
5/ With one hand underneath it, carefully slide out the
CDROM drive towards you - it will come forward approxi-
mately 20cm and separate from the case with 2 leads
attached.
6/ Remove the 4-wire power connector from the left-
hand rear side of the CDROM drive.
7/ Remove the digital cable from the right-hand rear
side of the CDROM drive.

Hookup of RGCD2 & CD5ENR
DAC/CD Player
Connect a high-quality Twin RCA lead from the
2Line Out sockets (Left Out - Right Out) on the
rear of the RGCD2 & CD5ENR models to the
CD inputs of your amplifier. (Any high-level in-
puts, except Phono sockets, are suitable to
use.)
You will require an IEC power cord to connect
the RGCD2 or CD5 to your mains power sup-
ply. There is a power on/off switch on the left
side of the front metal panel, behind the fold-
down wood front panel. As soon as power is
applied, the DAC/CD is ready to operate.
The front panel of this factory-fitted CDROM
drive has 2 buttons on the lower right-hand
side.
To insert or remove a CD: press the right-hand
button to “OPEN/CLOSE” the tray.
To choose a track: after inserting a CD and the
green light has stopped flashing (about 6 sec-
onds), press the “PLAY/SKIP” button (second
from the right). For example, to play track 3,
press the “Play/Skip” button three times. To
continue on to a later track (“SKIP”), press the
button again till you reach the number of the
required track.
To install a New CDRom drive:-
1/ Locate the thin round cable with the small
2 pin socket (Digital cable) and install onto the
digital connector on the CDROM. (The thicker
earth side wire must connect to “G”.).
2/ Locate the larger power connector and
install into power socket. (It will only go in one
way).
3/ Slide the CDROM drive fully back into the
case.
4/ Carefully turn the RGCD2 or CD5ENR up-
side down - watch that the CDROM drive does
not slide out onto wood panel!
5/ Tighten the 4 clamping screws - just firmly
will do.
6/ Carefully turn the RGCD2 or CD5ENR right
side up, reconnect the power cord and test
play.
If it does not work after a new drive
is installed:-
If the “busy” light is not working: there is a
problem with the power connector of the
drive.
If the “busy” light is working, but there is no
sound: the most likely problem is that the digi-
tal connector has been placed in backwards.
Check the connector and, if necessary, re-
verse its position.
