Pioneer Vsx 505s

Wanted to buy a PIONEER VSX 505S but the rear and center speakers would not work. Do the other four speakers need to be hooked up before these can work with sound?

You should be able to hear the rear and center channels with you get into the surround mode.
You will not hear those speakers in regular stereo mode.
