MINIMAL SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The minimal system configruation shown below
requires only a BDP-2, a BDA-1 (or BDA-2)digital-
to-analog converter, a Flash Drive, interconnect
cables and, of course, a sound system. The BDP-2
can operate as the hub of a completely indepen-
dent (i.e. free of any computer network) high
fidelity digital music system. In this minimal con-
figuration the front panel folder/file navigation
keys are used to select the files that are played.
EXPANDED SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The EXPANDED SYSTEM CONFIGURATION shown
on the opposite page, includes a wide range of
remote control options. The only thing that is not
shown is the Remote Trigger (power on/off con-
trol) hookup.
Besides the BR2 infra-red remote control, which
is essentially a LOCAL control option since it
requires a line-of-sight between the remote and
the BDP-2, all other remote control methods are
NETWORK control options. Whether it is a per-
sonal computer, an iPod Touch or Android tablet
running appliations such as the mPod or Bryston’s
MINI and/or MAX web apps, all NETWORK control
methods require a hard wired Ethernet connec-
tion between the network’s router and the BDP-2
The iPod Touch, running the mPod application,
utilizes the iPod Touch’s Wifi connectivity to
interface with the personal computer network via
the network router, which must be a WiFi router
in this instance.
ESATA HARD DISC DRIVES
Although faster than USB interfaced HDD’s, eSATA
hard disk drives must be independently powered
when used with the BDP-2
USB HARD DISC DRIVES
USB hard disc drives can be are powered from
the USB port itself or can be independently pow-
ered.
DRIVE RECOMMENDATIONS
• Via its 6 USB ports, the BDP-2 can utilize
USB connected self powered drives (i.e.
hard disk drives that connect to via a USB
interface but are powered from their own
power supply or AC power adapter), USB
port powered hard disk drives or Thumb
drives (flash memory drives).
• Each USB port is limited to 500mA (½ amp)
of current on the BDP-2 so we do not rec-
ommend USB drives requiring more current
than 500ma’s be used if they are going to
be powered by the internal USB ports in the
BDP-2.
