Unpacking
Carefully remove your new B.I.C speakers from the box. Inspect the speakers for transit damage. If you discover damage, contact your dealer immediately. Save your carton – it is the best possible protection for your speakers should you ever have a need to move them.
Surround Sound Listening Setups
Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for 5.1 and 7.1 speaker placement. The rear-channel surround speakers should be positioned behind and slightly to the sides of the viewer/listener as shown in Figure 1, or to the sides as shown in Figure 2. It may take some experimentation with different locations for the surround speakers to suit your preference and your room.

Hooking Up Your New Speakers
STOP! – Make sure that you consult your amplifier’s owner’s manual regarding speaker hook-up. Your amplifier should be turned off throughout this procedure.
A word about speaker wire – There are a number of quality speaker wire products available today. Most of these products offer obvious cosmetic benefits over lamp cord and light gauge wires. The DV62si speakers come equipped with inputs that allow the greatest flexibility and choice of hook-up wire and connectors. The choice of speaker wire is dependent on the type of amplifier, the distance you intend to run the wire, and your budget, among other things. If in doubt as to which brand or type of wire and connector to use, consult your audio dealer.
Most speaker wire is polarity coded. This means that each conductor is labeled either (+) positive or (-) negative. The (+) positive side may be a different color or texture than the (-) negative side. On the back of your amplifier, each channel is probably labeled (+) and (-) as well as color coded red for (+) positive and black for (-) negative. B.I.C speaker terminals are color coded red for (+) positive and black for (-) negative. Be sure to hook (+) to (+),(red to red), and (-) to (-), (black to black). (See Figure 4.)
All connections should be tight and close fitting.Inspect connections for frays and stray strands of wire touching both (+) and (-) terminals. (This will cause a short and, perhaps, damage your equipment.)
Caring for Your Speakers
B.I.C speaker cabinets are finished with a very high quality laminate covering that is both attractive and serves as excellent protection for the wood cabinet. The cabinet can be cleaned with a damp, soft cloth or you may use a high-quality furniture polish to maintain the original luster. Use a soft brush or hand vacuum cleaner on the grille material.
Troubleshooting and Service
- B.I.C speakers do not use external fuse protection or circuit breakers because these devices tend to impede sound quality and may only protect the speaker to a marginal degree. Rather, we use components and designs of the highest caliber as an effective method of protecting the speaker. However, no amount of protection will prevent damage caused by defective associated equipment or extreme abuse.
- If your speaker has no output, first try to determine if it is indeed a speaker problem. Determine whether the problem exists in both speakers. If it does, the problem likely originates in some other component in the system. If the problem is in one speaker only, reverse your speaker leads (left to right, right to left). If the problem moves to the other channel, the issue is not the speakers.
- If you have determined that your speaker is not functioning properly, or you have questions, please contact B.I.C America at 877-558-4242.
