I just got an Onkyo HT-S770. I learned a lot from these forums and am following the advice in connecting the system. The house is pre-wired to home theater and the previous owner used 16 gauge in wall wire with 4 conductors (black,white / red,green). I see the 4-conductor wire where surrounds are supposed to go and in the wall receiver is supposed connect, I see plugs for banana type connectors (2 of them - positive and negative). I have couple of question regarding setting up the system in this environment.
1. Can I use the 16 gauge 2 conductor wire to connect from receiver to the banana plugs (+ and -). Would there be a problem because I am mixing 2 and 4 conductor wires. I did not find 16 gauge 4 conductor wire in local stores (walmart,BB,CC,Radioshack and such).
2. To connect the speakers, can I just plug in the 16 gauge cable directly into the speaker connectors or do I have to use "flex connectors" from someone like Monster. And boy are they expensive!!!
3. When I got the 16 gauge wire, it came included with 4 pin type connectors. Can I use them to connect speakers?
