I am not an expert in this area and still learning things. so please excuse me if my information is not entirely correct.
It is definitely possible to have a 5.1.2. You can go up to 5.2.2. However If you use all your 7 channels, (5 main speakers and 2 ceiling speakers in your case), it may have lot of load on your receiver as you are almost using all the channels. It will still get the job done. But if I were you, I would buy a Emotica Amplifier (two channel one) along with this receiver and connect either my Atmos speakers(In ceiling ones) or Front speakers to that Amplifier so that way I have a better quality of sound overall.
Returned this for the Onkyo. The power supply is significantly more robust on the Onkyo. Denon could not handle reference level on a 7 speaker set up (driven at 6ohms). The onkyo is robust enough to handle 4ohm loads as well where the Denon is not. Plus with built on chromecast it was worth the extra $50.
I have a DENON AVR-S640H that's dying with a pair of Klipsch RPM 600M + SVS SB1000. Would this be an major upgrade or should I go something better to power my speakers ?
How is this for a 5.1.2 setup? Atmos with a ps5 for media playback (Netflix)

During my 2 months with the receiver it performed very well with sound processing. Great for Atmos or any speaker configuration. The overall power output was a tad lacking if you plan on running it loud. Otherwise great receiver for the money and the fact that it's actually available. But if you're going to run it loud wait for the onkyo to come back in stock if you can be patient.
Returned this earlier in the year. I'm sure it's good for the price point but the sound quality was awful. If you have any kind of decent speakers consider going up a few levels in the range.

Seconded on the Onkyo question. Can you still find that Onkyo that was $500 from Costco a few months ago for $500?

Specifically, do they both max out at 40gbps,, and how do their room calibration systems compare?
