“Can I replace an old dead 6.1 receiver with a 7.2 receiver, without adding speakers or losing sound? My old Onkyo HT-R520 receiver has 3 front speakers (left, center, right), 3 rear speakers (left, center, right), and 1 subwoofer, all wiring inside walls”

Should be able to; in the setup you can set different configurations. I am using a 5 speaker setup. 2 front, 1 center, and 2 rear.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes pretty sure no problem I replaced my old one 3 in front and two in the rear one sub, sounds great as well
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 7.1 receivers (at least in the low to mid priced tier that I have looked into) do not support a rear center channel. At this point pretty much all standard media is Atmos or at least 5.1 which splits rear channel content so a receiver would have to virtualize a center rear channel.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.yes you can configure your speaker setup
