Can you use the tv as the center channel?
If you're talking about getting true surround sound, then generally no. Some flat screens come with speakers that are connected to the tv with speaker wire specifically so you can disconnect it from the TV and plug it into your surround receiver, but other than that....no. The problem is that in surround sound you have 5 (or more) speakers each getting a specific part of the audio to play. Stuff happening on the right rear of the soundstage in the movie comes out of the right rear speaker etc. The television speaker has no such capability so when you turn it on it's going to play all the sound in stereo. It can be done but it won't sound right.

Placing the Surround Sound System?
Surround sound is designed to bring the movie theater into your living room. Speakers are tragically placed to allow for the movement of sound from left to right and back again. When buying your surround sound speakers, consider where they will be placed. Special hangars may be required to mount speaker to wall surfaces, and you will want to consider some way to hide the speaker wires. If you don' t want speakers hanging on the wall, consider purchasing special stands that will both hide the wires and provide a safe spot for the speakers. Finally, take the time to measure the room so you will know exactly how much speaker wire to purchase or proper installation.
