If you gave us the model # of your Sony that would help

You may be able to attach the speakers and subwoofer. But, if the speakers are three or four ohms and if the sub is passive, probably not.

It's a BDV E390

Yes, your front and surround speakers are rated at 3 Ohms. It's likely you would have problems (receiver overheating) driving those at anything more than very low volume with any budget or mid-line receiver.

Not a good idea.
