Power Considerations
In general, if your BDP-1USB has a three prong
grounded line cord, you can reduce the possibility
of local ground loops which could cause hum or
noise in the system by plugging its line cord into the
same wall outlet next to the power amp and other
equipment in your system.
Fuses & Electrical Safety
The BDP-1USB contains two (5x20mm cylindrical)
glass fuses. One is for the standby power supply and
one is for the main linear power supply. If it should
become necessary to replace either, we recommend
that you seek the assistance of qualied service
personnel. If you decide to change the fuse yourself,
we advise the following:
1. Turn o the BDP-1USB
2. Disconnect ALL cables from the rear of the
BDP-1USB especially the power cord.
3. Remove all 10 screws securing the top cover to
the chassis using a Torx T8 driver and remove
the top cover.
4. Locate the 5x20mm glass fuses on the power
supply board (near the IEC power inlet).
Replace blown fuses only with the same type
and value. All fuses are rated at 250V and are
slow acting (time lag) types. Refer to the fuse
label inside the unit for the exact replacement
value.
5. Replace the top cover and all screws and
reconnect all cables before reconnecting the
unit to AC power and turning it back on.

BDP-1USB
Connecting To Your System
The BDP-1USB is designed for the explicit purposes
of playing back your digital music library in a bitperfect manner. As a very precisely engineered
digital audio device, sound quality can vary based
on the digital to analog converter to which it is
connected. A high quality converter such as those
oered by Bryston are recommended. Compatible
digital to analog converters will have USB inputs
that are USB Audio Class 2.0 Compliant. No other
digital outputs are provided.
The BDP-1USB also requires that you store and
organize your music library on a connected USB
drive and/or via network attached storage.
Thus, the minimum hookup requirements include
attaching a music storage device like the portable
hard drive pictured below and a USB DAC such as
the BDA2 to the BDP-1USB.
Audio Connection
Prior to powering your BDP-1USB on, connect your
BDP-1USB to your DAC using a cable with a USB “A”
Type connector on the BDP-1USB end, and the end
specied by the DAC manufacturer on the other. For
a Bryston BDA, that is a “B” Type connector.
USB “A” Type USB “B” Type
Local Storage Connection
Your BDP-1USB can accept most USB storage media
including thumb drives, buss-powered hard drives,
and self-powered hard drives. Buss powered hard
drives must be connected at the rear USB ports,
and the total power draw from the two rear ports
combined cannot exceed 500mA. Please check
the literature that came with your hard drive to
determine its power requirements if you have
trouble with your drive.
The preferred disk format scheme for USB attached
media is FAT32. HFS+ and EXT3 are supported as
well. NTFS is not recommended.
Network Connection
Your BDP-1USB features a single 10/100 ethernet
port designed to connect to your home network
router to facilitate control via portable devices or
computer, and to obtain internet connection useful
for streaming internet radio, downloading rmware
updates, and if needed, permit Bryston support
personnel to acces the unit via service mode upon
your request.
Use a CAT-5, CAT-5e, or CAT6 patch cable to connect
your BDP-1USB to an available ethernet port in your
room, or directly to your home router.
Successful network connection will be indicated by
green and amber LEDs lighting on the BDP-1USB
ethernet port, and by assignment of an IP address
by the router. View the IP address on the front panel
by pressing the Down key. Your IP Address begins
aer eth0
You can use this IP address to access the Bryston
Web Interface from any web-enabled device on the
same local network as the BDP-1USB. Enter the IP
address in your web browser’s address bar. Also,
any device running the Bonjour service will respond
to the URL http://bryston-bdp-1.local instead of
the IP address. All Macintosh computers and iOS
have this service built in. Windows computers can
run this service once downloaded from the Apple
website. Android devices do not currently support
Bonjour and must use the numerical IP address.
Since virtually all modern routers assign IP
addresses to client devices, this IP address may
periodically change which can be a nuissance. To
x your BDP-1USB’s IP address, either invoke the
Dimensions
DHCP reservation function in your router, or simply
set a Static IP address in Bryston Web Interface.
Instructions on how to do so are located in the
Firmware User’s Manual.
Wireless Bridge
If you do not have easy access to an ethernet
connection in your listening room, you may
purchase an aer-market “wireless bridge” from
most computer electronics stores. Contact Bryston
for further information as needed.

Error Codes
Your BDP-1USB may display an error code in certain power line disruption events or if there is a problem
booting. The following is a brief description of each.
ERROR 03
ERROR 04
ERROR 05
ERROR 09
Microprocessor does not detect voltage on main Analog Power Supply perhaps due to blown fuse faulty power
supply wiring harness. BEFORE INVESTIGATING POWER SUPPLY ISSUES, DISCONNECT MAINS POWER FROM UNIT!
AC Line voltage has momentarily sagged below threshold suicient to maintain power to main board. Minimum
line voltage specs for 120V and 240V units are 100V and 190V respectively. Simply rebooting the unit will clear this
error presuming the faulty AC mains condition no longer exists.
AC Line voltage has momentarily exceeded the high threshold the power supply can tolerate. Maximum line
voltage specs for 120V and 240V units are 128V and 254V respectively. Simply rebooting the unit will clear this error
presuming the faulty AC mains condition no longer exists.
This message occurs if the microprocessor doesn’t hear from the main board running the main operating system.
This can happen if the rmware on the built-in ash card becomes corrupted, if the BDP is mistakenly trying to
boot from an attached drive, or in rare instances, if the serial cable connecting the main board to the power supply
is loose.
If the error occurs aer a power failure, failed rmware upgrade, or other major system disruption, contact
Bryston for information on how to re-ash your BDP-1USB’s internal CF card. If the error occurs upon the rst
boot sequence aer connecting a new USB drive, try removing the drive and restarting again. If it boots with no
problem, contact Bryston for instructions on resolving the problem with your drive.
If neither of these work, contact Bryston for instructions on how to verify the integrity of the internal serial cable.
