The BDP-3 can be controlled locally via its front panel push-button controls using the BDP-3’s dot matrix display and by Bryston’s infra-red handheld remote control, the BR2. It can be controlled remotely via Bryston’s web apps; MINI for mobile devices and MAX for desktop computers. It can also be controlled by an iPhone, iPod Touch or the iPad using their WiFi interface and themPodapp for example.

To use the BR2 with the BDP-3, set it to “D/A” mode. For more information see the BR2 Owner’s Manual.
