When using a banana plug to attach speaker wires to the binding post
terminals, remove the black and red plastic protective inserts from the
terminals. To do this, loosen the binding nut from the terminal by turning the
nut counter-clockwise until the nut is completely removed from the terminal.
Remove the plastic inserts by pulling them straight out, then replace the nut to
the terminal and turn clockwise. Insert the banana plug into the hole provided
in the top of the terminal, and then continue to tighten the nut until secure.
Some banana plugs may be able to fit into the terminal’s top hole after the nut
is secure. Repeat for the other speaker wire(s) as necessary.
If not using a banana plug, simply loosen the binding nut to allow the hole
in the side of the terminal to become exposed. Strip ¼-inch of the insulation
from the end of the speaker wire and insert the exposed wire end into the
now exposed hole in the side of the terminal. Tighten the binding nut by
turning the nut clockwise until the speaker wire is secured. Repeat for the
other speaker wire(s) as necessary.
