Can 5.1 rear speakers act as B speakers?

crystallullaby · 12-24-2009

I have a series 1 Tivo unit running through an Onkyo TX-SV343 amp. I know that 5.1 surround is not an option with the early Tivos, but is there a way to get the audio to come through the rear speakers also, i.e. to get the rear speakers to act as B speakers? Thank you.

Using the rears connected to B would just replicate the front 2 channels, no real benefit that I can see (hear).
