That should be no problem, as you would be using the front, center, and surround connections and not the "surround back/bi-amp" connections. Those are for a set of speakers in a different room, or outside, which you can have run separately. That is what 7.2 channel is designed for. If you only want a typical surround-sound arrangement, then a 5.1 or 5.2 -channel receiver would work.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No problem, I run 5 speakers plus a sub-woofer and it sounds great. There's auto calibration with a wired microphone that makes it easily balanced. I just wrote a review so you can check it out.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Absolutely. I have five satellite and a subwoofer. I don't have to turn on the sub and the system works fine. Of course without the sub the sound is a little tinny due to no good bass in my satellite speakers.
