I Have The Vsx-30 And Want To Use It As A 5.1. My Speakers Are R C L Only.

I have the VSX-30 and want to use it as a 5.1. My speakers are R C L only and I can't make it work properly with only three speakers. I was told to replace it with a 5.1. Hard to accept that such a fine amp will not do three speakers. Any help out there?
