Hello,

I just know this is a lame noob question but if you don't ask you'll be left wondering right.
Can I use a 5.1 or 7.1 receiver as a 2 channel amp for my stereo wihtout setting up surrounds?
Reason I ask is that there are some powerful surround receivers advertised on Trademe that I'm keen to buy but only for stereo operation (for now anyway).

Thank you for your advice.

Steve.
