What does 7.2 mean? null

7 channels (front right, front left, center, side right, side left, rear right, rear left), and 2 subwoofer pre-amp outs.

7.2 means a receiver is capable of powering 7 main speakers (including surround), and has 2 subwoofers outputs. Not sure why there are so many varying and complicated answers to such a simple question.

It refers to number of speakers: 7= left front, right front, center, left side surround, right side surround (these are the 5 in a 5.1 or 5.2 config) left rear surround, right rear surround are the other 2 (some configs have 1 rear surround, known as 6.1) .2 (or .1)= number of subwoofers; 2 are needed only for very large rooms

7.2 refers to the amount of channels.

7.2 is the designation to make the user aware of the audio handling capability of the receiver. A 7.2 receiver will handle two front speakers, two back speakers, an additional set of back/side speakers, a center speaker and a subwoofer. A total of 7 speakers and a subwoofer (the .2).
