left and right speakers only are necessary. Note that your

main surround speakers should always be connected as
a pair, but you can connect just one surround back
speaker if you like (it must be connected to the left
surround back terminal). You can use speakers with a
nominal impedance between 6–16Ω (please see
Switching the speaker impedance on page 66 if you plan
to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8Ω).
