Hey Kyri,

As frustrating as the wait is, I know as I had the same issue before getting mine, PMC told me it was in stock but I had to wait a month or so, believe me when I say you won't be disapointed, the BDP-1 is one of those very special pieces of HiFi equipment.

If you are in the London area you maybe interested to know that Zinc HT in Borehamwood are holding a PMC/Bryston day next Saturday 26th showcasing the BDP-1 and PMC's PB1i Signatures  :)

Hi Vipers,

I will be really interested in your feedback on the demo.  Please say HI :thumb: to the folks at PMC for me.

Thanks for that, Vipers.
Unfortunately I can't make 26th. And I'm only 15 mins away from them.
Yes, I'm sure once it is here I'll come over all School boy. And therein lies my problem - I'm going round in circles!  God I'm eager to get it!
I'm a patient boy, mind. So a little longer won't break me.

Hey Kyri, That's a shame you can't make it to Zinc, hopefully though you'll have your own BDP-1 by then  :)

Have you ever visited the Bryston Owners thread on AVForums, be good if you wanted to post some feedback on your BDP-1  :thumb:

Kyri,

I don't know if this helps but I had to wait 7 weeks for my BDP and BDA pair (I wanted blue LEDs...) well mine arrived yesterday and I have been playing it ever sonce, and I have to say they are the best bits of hifi I have ever bought. The BDP has killed the CD for me, having my entire music collection on tap, in amazing quality, has exceeded all my expectations.

So it is going to be worth the wait...

PS Mpod on the iPod Touch is excellent

Cheers

I spoke to Tom at The Bristol Show. In fact, I spent a great deal of time with him. Talking to him about PMC and the BDP1 - I cheekily interrupted him, whilst he was talking to a couple of potential customers - and added some marketing info he had, inadvertently, left out!
He did ask me to let him know my thoughts, once I'd had a good listen to my unit.

Vipers, thank you. I will keep it mind. Spreading the word is always nice. Not in a narcissistic manner, of course.

I'm hoping to get there around midday, be good to meet up.

I was over there yesterday for a Linn open day, not many people there tbh, so it would be good to have a nice turnout for Bryston/PMC  :)

Zinc is definately an interesting concept but after speaking to them for the last couple of weekends one thing is clear, it's high end audio where their heart is.

I had this response from Logitech:

"A request for the codes to be published have been made. However, this process may take up to a week. In the meantime, if there are people you know that really needs these commands, you can tell them to refer to this incident number (110121-004793) and we can add the codes to the other customer's account."

Has anyone got the BDP working with a Logitech harmony? I quoted the above incident number to Logitech and they put the device in my profile no problem. Just tried it and none of the commands work. Are codes common North America to European? As I have no BR2 I cannot get the logitech to learn the commands, or check that the IR is working correctly on the BDP, although I am sure it must be.

I also added the BDA at the same time and that works fine...

Hi Alpha10
I have been trying to get the logitech remote to work with the BDA. No success. Under the media PC selection there is no bryston option there. How did you get it loaded?
TIA

Did you mean the BDP? (the BDA is in the database under CD players I think it was). If you need the BDP adding then send them an email asking to have it added to your profile quoting this incident number (110121-004793). It was there the following day, but unfortunately for me the commands do not work. So it would be great if someone else could have a go?

BDA. Thanks for the heads up. Got the commands loaded for the BDA (under Amplifier) now I am able to control power, source and even upsampling toggle-finally!! :D  For the BDP its a no go. The funny thing is the power toggle for the BDA powers on/off the BDP simultaneously.

Maybe worth trying this way... DL this file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7095891/BDP-1%20IR%20Codes%20%281%29.zip and send to Logitech asking them to add to your profile.

I should also say that this has been working for my BDP-1 and Harmony 885 since early Feb.

If you are using a Logitech Harmony, just send them a support email, copying the codes above and ask them to be added to your BDP-1 device if you have created one, if not ask them to create the device at the same time. This is normally done in a day.

Cheers
