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 Ω to 16 Ω (please see
Switching the speaker impedance on page 74 if you plan
to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω).
