Default Solid State Integrated Amp w/o speaker load

I intend on using a little integrated amplifier that has a USB input in order to add an MP3 feature to an existing receiver in a home system. It is PYLE PTAU23 MINI 2x40W STEREO POWER AMPLIFIER/USB, and I intend on not connecting any speakers to the amp, using in strictly as a way to play MP3 files, and connecting the REC OUT jacks to the receiver. I'm wondering if I need dummy 8ohm resistors on the speaker outputs, or is this not necessary?

Not necessary. Solid state amps are fine with no load.

Agreed. In fact most tubed amps are OK with no load. It's mostly the ones
with zero or very low inverse feedback that can hurt themselves when run
unloaded.
