   I'm getting ready to set up a surround-sound system for watching my DVDs   
   and Blu-rays, for the first time. According to the receiver manual the   
   normal procedure is hook up the front speakers from the "A" terminal on   
   the receiver, then hook up the rear speakers using the "surround-sound"   
   terminals on the receiver.   
      
   However since I don't particularly want to listen to my CDs and LPs in   
   surround-sound, I was wondering if it would hurt anything to run another   
   set of wires from the "B" terminals on the receiver to the same front   
   speakers, then activate that using the "B" speakers button on the front   
   of the receiver. Of course you wouldn't want to have the "A" and "B"   
   buttons activated at the same time.   
      
   I've never tried to run two sets of wires to the same speaker(s) before   
   and thought I'd check in here before I experimented and screwed up   
   something bigtime.   
      
   I suppose I could always diminish the sound to the rear speakers using   
   the "A" setup while listening to CDs and LPs using the "+" and "-"   
   controls on the front of the receiver but this seems like it would be a   
   big hassle since (according to the manual anyway) you have to kind of   
   work at it to strike the perfect balance between the front and rear   
   speakers for the surround-sound effect.   
      
   Hope I explained myself clearly and TIA.
