Bryston B60R Manual De Propietario

 Thank  you  for  purchasing  a  Bryston  B60  integrated

amplifier. We are confident it will provide you with many

years  of  musical  enjoyment.  We  would  welcome  any

suggestions  or comments you may have regarding  the

operation of your Bryston amplifier.

   Bryston  recommends  that  you  retain  the  original

shipping  box  and  packaging  material  for  future  use  if

required.

 You  may  place  your  B60  integrated  amplifier  in  any

convenient location, with one possible exception; if you

own  the  remote-control  version,  position  the  amplifier

to maintain a direct line-of-sight between the hand-held

remote and the remote sensor eye located on the right

side of the front panel. The amplifier is powered up by

engaging the power toggle located on the front panel of

the B60. The B60 will power-up momentarily with mute

engaged,  indicated  by  the  pilot  light  turning  red  on  the

front panel. It will then quickly turn green signifying nor-

mal  function.  If  you  have  the  remote  control  version  of

the Bryston B60 please refer to the section on the remote

control unit.

 Connect your loudspeakers, ensuring that the positive

(red)  and  ground  (black)  terminals  (gold-plated  5-way

binding  posts)  on  the  Bryston  B60  integrated  amplifier

are  connected  to  the  positive  and  ground  terminals  on

your loudspeakers. Make certain the left and right speak-

er outputs on the amplifier are connected to the appropri-

ate left and right loudspeakers. Connect your CD player,

tape deck and other sources to the appropriate left and

right RCA inputs.

 The tape loop may be used to insert a surround sound

processor, tape deck or other recorder into your system.

Plug your tape deck or external processor’s input cables

into the ‘To Tape’ jacks and the processor or deck’s out-

put cables into the ‘From Tape’ jacks on the rear of the

B60. The tape or processor loop may be monitored via

the toggle switch located on the front panel of the B60.

 On the rear panel there are connections labeled ‘PRE

OUT’ (preamplifier output) and ‘PWR IN’ (power amplifier

input). Please refer to the rear panel illustration later in

this  manual  for  further  clarity).  This  feature  allows  you

to  separate  the  preamplifier  section  of  the  B60  from

the  power  amplifier  section  by  removing  the  ‘jumpers’.

Simply pull the two ‘U’ connectors straight out with the

power to the amplifier turned OFF. Store them in a safe

place  for  future  use.  These  pre-out/power-in  connec-

tors provide for complete separation of the preamplifier

and power amplifier sections. This allows you to easily

accommodate the integration of a surround sound pro-

cessor  into  your  system  and  still  maintain  the  control

functions available on the front panel of the B60. It also

allows the independent use of the stereo amplifier sec-

tion within a multi-channel audio or video system.

 The Bryston B60 integrated amplifier comes equipped

with 4 pairs of RCA input connectors, 1 pair of tape loop

connectors, 1 pair of pre-out ~ power-in connectors and

1 pair of five-way binding post loudspeaker outputs. All

input and output connectors are gold plated. Only cables

with high quality gold plated connectors should be used

with your amplifier to avoid noise and distortion from the

corrosion which will eventually appear on poorly plated

or  gold-flashed  cable  connectors.  Bryston  offers  high

quality  very  low  capacitance  interconnect  cables  with

custom RCA connectors gold-plated to 20 micro-inches

(30  times  heavier  than  standard  gold-flashed  cables).

Standard  1  and  2  meter,  or  custom  length  cables,  are

available by contacting any authorized Bryston dealer or

distributor.

 There is a quarter inch stereo (3 conductor) headphone

jack available on the front panel of the Bryston B60 inte-

grated amplifier. The headphone output is driven directly

from  the  preamplifier  section.  We  recommend  the  use

of headphones with input impedances between 50 ohms

and 600 ohms. Headphones with input impedance val-

ues  above  600  ohms  may  experience  some  problems

attaining sufficient volume levels. The main outputs, both

balanced and single-ended, will be muted when a phone

plug is inserted into the headphone jack. TAPE outputs

are not muted.

 You can adjust the volume setting of the headphones

by  using  the  volume  control  on  the  front  of  the  B60

integrated  amplifier.  You  may  also  utilize  the  remote

control  unit  to  adjust  headphone  volume  if  your  unit  is

so equipped. The headphones cannot be muted with the

remote control unit. Use caution when disconnecting the

headphones  as  the  loudspeakers  will  be  immediately

re-connected at the volume level indicated by the front

panel volume control.

  Tape Outputs:  The “TO TAPE” outputs are selected

by the rotary “SELECTOR” knob and are provided as a
