There are different sizes of Banana plugs. Presumably you either bought the larger or smaller size of them.
So you just need to change them for the other size.

You can hook them up either way, the banana jacks are good for hooking two speakers to one terminal (ie one through the botton, one banana) but the electrical connection is the same either way. Sometimes the banana capable jacks are on speakers A and speakers B, and the surround don't accept banana plugs, your stuck with how your reciever is wired.

you will have some line loss (decreased audio signal) at the stereo
you may pick up strange noises, as the 50 foot wires are antennas that will pick up stray signals if they are present
try it, then you will be the expert, as you are in 'uncharted waters'

SOURCE: The speaker cables has "banana

If they're a fixed spacing that doesn't match the spacing of the black and red speaker terminals you'll need to either chop them off and replace them with individual tips or just wrap the twisted bare wire ends around the base of each post and crank 'em down. Make sure no strands are touching anything but the intended post.

How do you insert a banana plug into a Yamaha Htr 5850

To insert a banana plug into a Yamaha HTR-5850 receiver, follow these steps:
  1. Turn off the receiver and unplug it from the power source to avoid any electrical shock.
  2. Locate the speaker binding posts on the back of the receiver. There should be one for each speaker channel, usually labeled with a positive (+) and negative (-) symbol.
  3. Unscrew the binding post's plastic collar by turning it counterclockwise to reveal the hole for the banana plug.
  4. Insert the banana plug into the hole, making sure that the positive plug goes into the positive terminal and the negative plug goes into the negative terminal.
  5. Tighten the plastic collar by turning it clockwise until it is snug against the banana plug. Make sure that the plug is securely connected to the binding post.
  6. Repeat the process for each speaker channel.
  7. Once you have connected all of your speakers, plug in the receiver and turn it on to test your connections.
It's important to note that banana plugs may not be compatible with all speaker binding posts, so be sure to check the specifications of your receiver and speakers before purchasing banana plugs. If you're not comfortable working with electronics or unsure about any of the steps involved in connecting banana plugs to your receiver, it's best to consult a professional or authorized Yamaha dealer for assistance.

Hello. i just bought denon poa2800. i usually use banana plugs for speaker connection.but these ports looks to wide and deep, not like regular banana ports. can i use regular banana plugs with it ?

OK, you can use banana plugs, but there is an easier way to connect speakers there. Remove wires from bananas, clean wires from insulation about 5mm (3/8"), unscrew black and red handles of speaker connectors in the back. Look carefully and will see holes in the shaft where you can plug in the wires (carefully with the colours) and by screwing in you tighten the cables.

Just clicks no power. Already checked for touching wires and proper cooling. This unit has worked fin in the same location for four years. Any other ideas?

I had a similar 'drop out' problem with my Yamaha RX-V3300.
Problem- Possibly loose speaker connections.
I have banana connections which I unplugged; tightened speaker terminal connections at back of receiver and then reinserted banana speaker connectors- which remedied problem. There is possibly some kind of loose connection either caused by the banana plugs or at speaker connectors at the back of the receiver, which was remedied (i.e. possibly temporarily) by reinserting the banana plugs.
I also previously thought something was wrong with the main on/off power relay which was 'dropping out' and replaced it, but then 'drop out' problem returned a few days later. I reinserted and tightened speaker connectors, which has it working again.
