Hdmi Passthrough; Integrated Digital Player; Connection To Network; Connection To Wireless Network - Bryston BDA-3.14 Owner's Manual

Note that the maximum output from the BDA3.14
RCA jacks is 2.0V and 4.0V on XLR balanced. An
amplifier with a gain of 29dB can generate 100 watts
with only 1 volt input.
Analog output is provided via left & right stereo pairs
of XLR balanced outputs and RCA single-ended
outputs. Balanced output is usually preferred when
available on the partnering amplifier or preamplifier
especially when long runs (greater than 3 meters)
of interconnect cable are required. Connect the Left
and Right outputs to the respective inputs on the
amplifier or preamplifier. Note that the BDA-3.14
has a default volume level of -60dB at turn on.
When connecting to an analog preamplifier, set
the BDA-3.14 volume to max 0dB for bit perfect
operation.

HDMI Passthrough

Incoming digital video may be passed through
to another receiver such as a surround sound
processor or display using the HDMI output. The
HDMI output can only pass HDMI audio when a
non-HDMI input is actively selected. See PTHD
command in "Serial Protocol" on page 16. The
digital audio outputs mirror the inputs. No sample
rate conversion or any other processing is applied to
the output.
HDMI inputs are 1.4a compliant and can pass 4K
video at up to 30fps. HDMI input 4 is HDCP 2.2
compliant. Video is passed through to a connected
monitor at the native resolution with no processing
or conversion.

Integrated Digital Player

Connection to Network

The BDA-3.14 features an integrated digital player
capable of playing back music files stored locally
and through select digital streaming services
available online. Unlike Bryston BDP series products
which feature a front panel display and menu
navigation system, The BDA-3.14 internal streaming
system must be operated by its web based graphical
user interface. As such, the BDA-3.14 needs to be
connected to the network via ethernet or with an
optional wireless adapter available separately from
Bryston or authorized dealer.
The BDA-3.14 has two ethernet jacks on the back.
Connect the one labeled "ETHERNET" to your
network router. The LEDs on the jack should light up
and flash occasionally indicating activity.

Connection to Wireless Network

When a wired connection is not practical, a wireless
adapter can be used by inserting it into one of the 4
"USB ACCESSORY" ports.
Upon first boot with the wireless adapter connected,
the BDA-3.14 will create its own wireless network
called Bryston Digital Player.
