For true surround, you need at least 4 speakers. There are systems that create a 'virtual surround sound' using acoustic tricks from a single array of speakers, but the effect is limited in frequency response and true surround realism.
Not if you have full range speakers like tower speakers. Even with large speakers, the surround sound mix is encoded with LFE (low frequency effect) sounds that would not be heard without a subwoofer.
A good surround sound can have just one good speaker if you buy the right one. But an ideal system may have at least 2-4 nice speakers.
If you want the surround sound to play through them then yes. If you want some other audio to be played than no.
No, you will need a surround sound receiver or amplifier with 5 speakers and a subwoofer to hear surround sound.
There are no surround modes that quickly turn off the subwoofer, center channel and surround back speakers, but leave the surround speakers (side) speakers on. You will need to go into the System Setup -> Sp 2. In 3.0p -> Speaker Setup menu to select Center Speaker 'None', Surround Speaker ('Large' or 'Small'), Surround Back Speaker 'None' and Subwoofer 'No'. If you have a subwoofer and want sound to come out of the all of the speakers when you are listening to a non-surround source such as a CD, use the 5CH/7CH Stereo DSP simulation.
You will need the appropriate sound card and software.
Center channel speakers are deducted to dialogue on a audiovisual program. They are used with surround sound systems in the home and are typically hung the center. So if you want to have the complete surround sound experience you will need one of these speakers.

To set up surround sound in your home entertainment system, you will need a receiver that supports surround sound, multiple speakers (front, center, rear), and a subwoofer. Connect the speakers to the receiver using speaker wire, position them around the room for optimal sound, and adjust the settings on the receiver to calibrate the sound for a surround sound experience.
To hook up surround sound to your home entertainment system, you will need a receiver that supports surround sound, speakers, and speaker wires. Connect the speakers to the receiver using the appropriate wires, and then connect the receiver to your TV or media player using HDMI or optical cables. Adjust the settings on your receiver to enable surround sound, and enjoy immersive audio experience.

To set up surround sound in your home entertainment system, you will need a receiver that supports surround sound, speakers (front, center, rear, and subwoofer), speaker wires, and an audio source. Connect the speakers to the receiver using the speaker wires, ensuring they are placed correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Connect the audio source to the receiver, and then configure the settings on the receiver to enable surround sound. Adjust the speaker levels and test the system to ensure everything is working properly.
If you are using additional speakers then you may need to register them with your blu-ray player (you can do this from the blu-ray menu.)
You need a series of wires and a television capable of surround sound. You can purchase a box that has outputs for forward/rear/side speakers that you connect wires to the speakers for. Sony is your best option--inexpensive and durable. I have the 6 speaker subwoofer surround.
