APPLICATION NOTE
 
POPPING ISSUE WHEN THE UNIT IS SWITCHED ON THE FIRST TIME

by Stan Blleszynski, Bryston,  4-DEC-2020

1) Examine the "automut" parameters which governs the timing
involving muting/unmuting related to a 'popping' issues (2):

a) Using RS232 Termite:

#30GETDautomut  [<CR> ends line and sends the command!]

b) Using TCP/IP WebGui Terminal window:

%2330GETDautomut.

This command should return a value greater than 1, the standard default is 5 
(in units of 0.1s)

2) If the value is 0 or 1 then it should be reinitialzed by running

the "default EEPROM" command sequence:

#30INIT00    [reinitializes user EEPROM configuration, takes 1s]

or from the TCPIP:

%2330INIT00.


3) Alternatively you can redefault all memory to FACTORY DEFAULT (EEPROM and FLASH)  which is:

#30INIT222   [unlocks the special commands]
#30INITfa    [reinitializes all FLASH and EEPROM configuration, takes 30s (*)]

or from TCPIP:

%2330INIT222.
%2330INITfa.

Note(*): INIT00 is safer to use, INITfa may also reset USB MASS STORAGE FLASH2,
which stores "vol=255" parameter for the BDA3 so if you do this command on the BDA3
then you need to manually set it to "vol=255" afterwards.
Setting the "vol" parameter is not necessary for BDA3.14 .

Note (2):  another related parameter is "hdmute" which governs
mute/unmute related to HDMI source switching and play/pause.
