recorder that is currently receiving audio from
the fixed level outputs on the back of the BP-17³.
7. IR Receiver
The BP-17³ can be controlled using Bryston’s
BR-2 or another remote control.
8. Headphone Output
Connect headphones to this output. The output
is a 1/4” (6.35mm) TRS connector where the
Tip=Left, Ring=Right, and Sleeve=Ground.
Output impedance is 50Ω. Main outputs are
muted when headphones are connected.
9. Bypass Indicator
One input can be configured as a unity gain
home theater bypass input. When bypass mode
is engaged for an input, this LED will illuminate
green. To toggle bypass for the selected input,
enter the code 245 using the BR-2 or RS232.
Note that when bypass is engaged, balance and
volume controls are defeated.

10. Output Section
The BP-17³ is equipped with 4 stereo analog
outputs.
•
Balanced Output 1: Variable output. Pin 1=GND, Pin
2=Positive, Pin 3=Negative (configurable as fixed
output at time of order or later by certified technician)
•
Balanced Output 2: Variable output.
•
Preamp Output: Variable output, single ended.
•
Record Output: Fixed level output, single ended.
11. Input Section
Five stereo pairs of single-ended analog inputs
and two stereo pairs of balanced analog inputs
are available to receive audio from analog
source components. When equipped with an
optional digital to analog converter module,
Input 1 can be divided into two separate
S/PDIF inputs, and TOSLINK optical digital
inputs D1 and D2 become available for use.
When equipped with an optional MM phono
option, Input 2 may be connected directly to a
turntable and can no longer be used as a line-
level input.
12. Chassis Ground
Connect this post to the ground wire from your
turntable when the BP-17³ is equipped with the
MM Phono module.
13. Control I/O
The BP-17³ features several control methods
in addition to the IR receiver on the front
panel. A full two-way RS232 suite is available.
See “Remote Control” on p.5. Two DC triggers
can modulate the power state of amplifiers,
source components, or other equipment. An
auxiliary IR input can be used with an external IR
receiver“eye” terminated with a 3.5mm plug.
14. A/C Power Input:
An IEC-320 C14 power inlet provides for
connection of an IEC-320 C13 equipped power
cord. Before connecting the power cord to the
amplifier, check that the voltage rating on the
data plate or ratings label conforms with your
locality.
