Important Safety Instructions

Welcome

Thank you for your purchase of a Bryston BOT-1
Bryston Optical Transport. By adding an optical disc
drive to your BDP digital music player, you can now
rip and play CDs with your BDP without having to
use a computer. You can leverage the world-class
digital playback engine in your BDP to play CDs
back at equivalent quality to a ripped disc. You can
also rip CDs with a single button press to any of
the attached drives. Expanded features are easily
accessed through our comprehensive graphical
user interface useable on any modern web enabled
device. As with all Bryston equipment, we welcome
your questions, comments, and criticsm. Thank you
for owning Bryston.

Features

Bryston BOT-1 include the following:

• DC power supply included. Or power from
optional BPS-3 multi-device power supply.

• Connect to BDP with included USB cable (Type
A to Type Mini-B)

• Slot loading optical drive.

• Fully managed through Manic Moose web-based
graphical user interface.

• Available in Black or Silver. Cosmetically
matches other Bryston C-Series components.

Shipping Box and Packing Material

Please keep the original shipping box and all
packing material. This will ensure the BOT-1 is
protected in future transport. In the unlikely event
you have a problem and must return it for service,
you must use the proper packing material. Ship
the BOT-1 only in the original packing material,
as the unit is not insurable by carriers otherwise.
Replacement packing materials, consisting of
a shipping carton with plastic foam inserts, is
available from Bryston for a small fee.

Placement

The BOT-1 is designed to occupy 1/3 the width of a
17” wide C-Series component. Therefore, the BOT­1 is commonly placed on top of the BDP or other
Bryston C-Series component. However, placement
is not critical, and the BOT-1 can be placed beside
the BDP or elsewhere in the equipment rack. Do
not orient the BOT-1 in any position where it is
not resting on the 4 attached plastic feet since
unconventional orientation may increase the risk of
a disc jamming inside the transport.
