I'm new to home audio and want to try a 7.2 setup. I have the TX-NR656 and it supports 7.2. I want to confirm if all that is required is 7 speakers and 2 subwoofers correct (center, front left, front right, rear left, rear right, left surround, right surround, and both subwoofers)?
well I only have 5.1 setup as of now, and I ordered two additional speakers and another subwoofer. But when I go to the settings in the receiver, in the speaker configuration it doesn't show the option for 7.2. It has 2.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, and I assume atmos setups 5.1.2, 5.2.2 but no option specifying 7.2. So my question are.....
will this option become available once I connect the additional subwoofer?
and if not, will just leaving it in 7.1 be ok for this setup? Because I assume the same channel of sound would go through both subwoofers.
Like I said, I'm new to home audio and I don't know a lot about it. So any help understanding this would be appreciated.
