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 Servi e
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.
