So i just got back into HT and Home stereo. My question is I have a 5.1 set up. Pioneer vsx-515, monitor 70II's up front and Monitor40II's in the rear. My rears only play when i have 5.1 playing or running. Wont these run when im listening to music? This may be something simple but i want these to play when listening to pandora on my tv. Any suggestions? Is this a simple setting on my receiver?

    5 ch stereo mode should do it. Otherwise they'll just be effects.
