7/9: BALANCED OUTPUT CONNECTORS
The BCD-1 is supplied with one pair of gold plated 3 pin male XLR jacks (pin 1 is ground, pin 2 is positive & pin 3 is nega- tive) which are driven by fully discrete active amplifier circuitry providing a buffered balanced output signal.
8/10: SINGLE-ENDED OUTPUT CONNECTORS
The BCD-1 is supplied with one pair of gold plated RCA (phono) jacks providing a buffered, single ended output signal driven by fully discrete amplifier stages.
11:TOSLINK optical connector providing fully isolated digital bitstream output conforming to EIAJ optical interface standard.
12:SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital InterFace) digital bitstream output connector (gold plated RCA or phono jack)
13:AES/EBU digital bitstream output connector (gold plated 3 pin male XLR jack) conforming to AES3 standard.
14:TRIGGER IN socket. This two pin socket mates with the CO110A-11102 bare-wire terminal block connector supplied with your BCD-1. Supplying a DC control voltage between 3 and 12 volts (at greater than or equal to approximately 3mA) will allow you to remotely power your BCD-1 on or off. When the External Trigger operation is enabled the presence of an appropriate control voltage will cause the BCD-1 to be powered up. Withdrawing the control voltage will turn the BCD-1 off (i.e. it will return to standby mode).
To enable the External Trigger operation:
1st: Place the BCD-1 in standby. The POWER button on either the front panel
of the BCD-1 or on the remote control can be used to do this. The LED on the front panel, above the POWER button, will light red when the unit is
in standby mode
2nd: On the remote control, press CODE momentarily. The red LED on the
remote control will light. 3rd: While the red LED is still lit, press 2 4 1 on the remote control. When
entered correctly the red LED will flash twice and then extinguish. The alpha-numeric display on the front of the BCD-1 will display one of two messages. IF the External Trigger operation has been invoked the display will read “Ext Trigger Entered”. If the unit was already in External Trig- ger mode, the display will read “Ext Trigger Disabled” indicating that the
BCD-1 is no longer in External Trigger mode and that the front panel and remote control POWER buttons will now operate again and that the Trig-
ger In connector has been deactivated. Be sure to point the remote control at the BCD-1 while doing this and ensure that there is line of sight.
4th: To toggle the External Trigger mode on or off just repeat steps 1 through 3 above. If the unit is in External Trigger mode, remove the DC control voltage to place the unit in standby mode before beginning.
15:RS232 port. For uploading new software into the BCD-1. Connects to an RS232 serial port on a computer capable of run- ning a Windows executable program.
BRYSTON BCD-1 CD PLAYER FIRMWARE UPDATES
BCD-1 firmware updates, when available, will be downloadable from www.bryston.ca in the Technical Information section (http://www.bryston.ca/BrystonSite05/BrystonDocs.html). Firmware update files will be archived files with a *.ZIP file extension. These *.zip files will contain both an executable (*.exe) file and instructions in a PDF file. The executable file is a program which, when executed on your PC, will search for available serial ports on your computer and then search for the BCD-1 CD player before uploading and automatically installing the new firmware in your BCD-1. We supply this program as an archive (ZIP) file because most computer systems impose security against downloading executable (exe) files. Once downloaded the EXE file must be un-archived or extracted from the ZIP file. Most computers contain an application to extract files from ZIP files but if your computer does not, there are many free or trial version of suitable programs available over the internet, such as WinZIP or WinRAR.
