Is it ok to use a 6 speaker home theater with only 4 speakers connected to the system?

I just want to use my home theatre at least with four speakers (front-left, front-right, center, and sub-wofer) until i find the time to run the cables across the room to connect the other speakers (rear-left, rear-right).
