Power Considerations
In general, if your BDP-3 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.
Firmware Updates
BDP-3 rmware updates will periodically become
available from Bryston. Upon availability, the
Dashboard on the web interface will notify you. To
identify which version of rmware you are currently
running, you may either use the front panel, or the
web interface. To determine the current version of
the rmware from the front panel, press the up
and le buttons to return to the home screen.
