Hi
I am going to purchase a Home Theatre system to be used mostly for music and a once a week DVD movie. I have a question.

Can i use 5.1 speaker system with a 6.1 receiver/amp? if so what happens to the 6th speaker op on the amp?

i am thinking of Paradigm CINEMA70CT 5.1 speakers and a low to mid range Sony or Yamaha amp. The amps are all 6.1 and more. Hence my question.

Also. is there such a thing as a special MUSIC mode for HT amps? Do i need it? I am not a HiFi fanatic but i do appreciate good audio. I have a back ground in professional TV broadcasting and it has spoilt me for good sound.
