    Need help with my new 804S

    Hello,

    I just purchased my new 804s, but have a hard time to figure out how to connect my speaker cables. I found clear plastic caps al over my speaker connectors. How do I remove them without damaging my speakers ?

    Thank you

    Congrats on your purchase. The binding posts on the 804s can accept either spade, banana, flex pins or bare wire. Do not remove the plastic cap. Just unscrew to make room for your wire. If using banana plugs you will need to remove the red 'plugs' in the middle of the binding caps.

        I have never removed mine but it has been discussed in thsi forum recently. From what I recall, loosen the binding caps (uscrew) and using needle nose pliers pull them out. You may try searching the site fro the definitive answer to the question. Good luck. Also, I feel it would be worth the time, effort & $$$ to bi-wire your 804s.

          I just pulled those caps out a few days ago. it's a pain. I used the very advanced method of sliding my fingernail between the cap and the binding post. Hurt, but it works.

            grit,

            did you unscrew those clear plastic caps first?

            Thanks

                  Customizing The Dayton Aluminum Binding Post Back Plate
                  by 64NOMIS
                  I have been customizing the Dayton binding post back plate from partsexpress.

                  I needed a small rear plate with four holes for four connectors. The crossover is in the unit base and for no good reason I am running two ground lines up (well, I guess the cable is paired...). So I bought...

                  Can I use banana plugs on my 15 year old DM 602s?
                  by ed94582
                  Hi,

                  Silly question but I have owned a pair of DM 602 speakers for about 15 years and thought I would replace the speaker wire and got some wire made today with banana plugs but noticed today that the connectors in the back don't seem to allow banana plugs? I read about the red and black...

                  Hey guys and girls-
                  I just became an 'official' member of Club Rotel with my purchase of an RSX 1055 and an RX 1050. The options are incredible, so I'll have to sit down and study for a while, I did get the clock on the remote set, whoppee!

                  Now, for my question: The most trouble...
