Adding Outdoor Speakers to Home Theatre Setup

I am contemplating adding Polk Atrium 45 Outdoor speakers to my current home theatre setup, which consists of the following:
Onkyo TX-SR 504- Receiver
Polk R30-Fronts
Polk R15-Rears
Polk Center Channel
Since the receiver is 7.1 channel, should I just connect the Atriums to the two "surround back" inputs. Furthermore, if I only want to hear the outdoor speakers (and mute the rest), how can I configure the receiver to accomplish this?
Any advice would be most appreciated. Thank You.

How about just connecting them to the "B" speaker outs?"Don't forget to change your politician. They are like diapers they need to be changed regularly, and for the same reason."

Some receivers allow for independent zone 2 operation utilizing the two surround back channels. Does yours? Should be in the manual.Monitor Audio GR 60, GR10, GRLCR

It doesn't appear to be multi-zone.

It does appear to have 2 sets of speaker fronts though."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche -
