Bryston Comprehensive Guide to the BCD-1 CD Player

1)If the BCD-1 is ON, place it in standby by pressing the POWER button either on the front panel or on the remote control. When the LED above the POWER button lights red, the BCD-1 is in standby.

2)Connect a suitable RS232 cable between your PC (sorry, but MAC’s are not sup- ported at this time) and the BCD-1. In most cases (depending on your computer) this cable will be a DB9-male to DB9-female straight through cable.

3)IF your computer does not contain an RS232 serial port, but does contain a USB port, there are modestly priced USB to RS232 serial port adaptors available.

4)Once the executable file (*.exe) has been extracted from the ZIP file, simply double click on it to execute.

5)Upon execution the 1st dialog box at the right will be displayed. Click on OK and the program will search for the BCD-1’s serial port via any available serial port on your computer.

6)When the BCD-1’s serial port has been found, the dialog box will indicate this by dis- playing the message “BDC1 found on ComX”. Click on UPDATE to initiate the update procedure.

7)When completed and the final dialog box is displayed, click on EXIT to finish.

N.B. In some cases it may be necessary to obtain a newer version of the Visual Basic con- trol MSCOMM32.OCX. Contact Microsoft if you see warnings or cautions concerning this control.

16:IEC Power Inlet. Use only approved IEC-320 power cords with C13 type connectors to mate with the BCD-1’s IEC-320-C14 power inlet.

Programming the BCD-1:

Display Brightness: To adjust the brightness of the alpha-numeric display:

1st)	Press the CODE button momentarily until the red LED is continuously lit.
2nd)	Enter the code 240. The word “BRIGHTNESS” will be shown on the bottom line of the alpha-numeric
	display.
3rd)	Within the next 3 to 5 seconds, press the PREVIOUS or NEXT buttons to decrease or increase, respec-
	tively, the brightness of the display.

CODE POWER

4 5 6 VOLUME

7 8 9 MUTE

Enable or disable the External (remote) Trigger:

1st)	Place the BCD-1 in standby mode by pressing the POWER button on either the BCD-1 itself or on the
	remote control until the red standby LED on the front panel of the BCD-1 (immediabely above the
	front panel POWER button) lights.
2nd)	Press the CODE button momentarily until the red LED is continuously lit.
3rd)	Enter the code 241. Every time the code is successfuly entered the state of the External Trigger will
	toggle between enabled and disabled and the status of the External Trigger will be dislayed on the
	alpha-numeric display for 2 to 3 seconds.
	The External Trigger utilizes a control voltage (3 to 12 volts, either AC or DC) connected to the
	TRIGGER IN port on the rear of the BCD-1. A wire-clamp connector that mates with the TRIGGER IN
	port is provided with every BCD-1 (See page 2 for wiring details). Once enabled the BCD-1 will only
	be powered on when a control voltage of 3-12V AC/DC at ≥3mA is present. As soon as the control
	voltage is withdrawn the BCD-1 will power down and go
	into standby mode.

BCD-1 REMOTE CONTROL

Programming the remote control:

The infra-red remote control suppplied with the BCD-1 can also be used to control the volume and mute functions several other Bryston products including the BP26 & BP6 preamps, B60R and B100 integrated amplifiers and the SP2 Surround Sound Proces- sor/Preamp. To program the BCD-1 remote control to operate other Bryston models follow these steps:

1st)	Press and hold the CODE button on the BCD-1 remote until the red LED begins to flash (usually takes about 5 seconds).
2nd)	Enter a three digit code as follows:
	711	: SP2 PreAmp/Processor
	712	: B100 integrated amplifier
	715	: BCD-1 (since there is no volume/mute control in the BCD-1 code 715 merely disables those buttons on the remote)
	721	: BP26 preamp
	722	: B60R integrated amplifier & BP6 preamp

The red LED will flash twice after a code has been entered successfully.
