The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
- Number of Audio Zones: 1 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)

Whats Included
- Pioneer 7.2-Ch. with Dolby Atmos 4K Ultra HD HDR Compatible A/V Home Theater Receiver
A: I have the same thing, I have a Onkyo 7.1 theater system but unfortunately the receiver went out after 8 years. I wanted to replace it with another Onkyo but wasn't ready to spend $600 on a receiver at the time so I purchased this Pioneer which was less than $300 to replace it. I'm still using my same Onkyo speakers with this receiver and everything sounds just the same do drop off at all. Hope this helps
A: Yes, as long as they are 8 ohm speakers.
Q: Is this also an FM receiver?
A: Yes, also fm, but be advised the antenna that is supplied isn't good. If you are keeping this in a closet or other closed area reception is likely to be an issue. Pretty much true of all the products in this class.
Q: Is this unit compatible with a JVC XL-F154 CD player?
A: undefined
Q: Will this reciver be compatible with Bose acoustimass 10 5 speaker system?
A: I struggled with this model to drive my powered subs. By struggle, I mean no bass was coming out. I returned and purchased the Denon AVR540 and my windows are bouncing again with the Klipsch Reference sub.
Q: Can I set this up as a 7.2.4 system? Is there enough speaker connection in the back?
A: Yes, it has 1 center, 2 front L&R, 2 surround L&R and 2 rear L&R, plus a powered subwoofer pre-out. In settings there are several configurations to choose from and an included microphone to adapt the sound to your specific room and speakers.
Q: Will this stereo play simply 2 channel stereo sound at the rated 165 watts?
A: No. The ratings on today’s receivers are misleading. The 165 watt claim is usually based off of driving one channel at a time not all 7 simultaneously. If that was the case they would need much much bigger power supplies inside them. However when I measured it it measured at about 85 watts per channel simultaneously. But the sound quality was still very good.
