i'm pretty sure it does.

there's actually TWO different ways to set your reciever's channels, one of them is a set of about half a dozen different combinations by scrolling the "menu" with the multi wheel, but there's another section where the reciever asks you "yes/no" for center, surround and back speakers.

actually, instead of LCR... i'd be inclined to set the speakers up LR back. for more depth. i know that my back (not left right surround) options include 1 or 2 speakers.

i can't give you a definate answer, but in setting my unit up, i found it to be pretty flexible and the customer service at panasonic was pretty on the ball with the tech questions i had before i ordered my unit.

unlike my onkyo reciever, the panasonic will still funtion when it has speakers defined as on, but not in the circuit. i had my center turned on at first without one being hooked up and the unit still functioned whereas my onkyo won't do anything until a speaker is connected to every out configured.
