To insert a banana plug into a Yamaha HTR-5850 receiver, follow these steps:
Turn off the receiver and unplug it from the power source to avoid any electrical shock.
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.
Unscrew the binding post's plastic collar by turning it counterclockwise to reveal the hole for the banana plug.
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.
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.
Repeat the process for each speaker channel.
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.
You would use a standard banana plug to either a 1/4 phono or speakon plug. The JBL JRX 115 has both on the back. All the outputs on the Yamaha RX V673 have banana plugs. The channel you plug into would be up to you, there are many choices and they are listed on the back of the unit.
Look closely at the rear connector panel of the receiver and look for pieces of stray strand wire that may be touching the speaker A binding post and the receiver chassis. If you are not using strand wire connection to the binding post then check whatever connector type you are using such as banana plug or spade plug for breakage or corrosion, the same goes for the speaker cable itself which isn't always so easy to detect. A few broken strands can cause a problem. If it is clean, turn off the receiver and disconnect the speaker cable. Check the binding post for tightness; if you can wiggle it then it is broken and needs to be replaced.
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.
