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.

Damn, it was just back too was going to purchase one, they must have not had too many. I called the local warehouse and they said they have 10 on order but couldn't give me a date when they would arrive. Anyone know if its "on order" if that mean it should arrive sooner, or it just means they ordered some and who know when they will arrive,
Max volume should be the threshold right before begin hearing any distortion (either from the amp being underpowered for the speakers, which is almost always the case at this end of the price spectrum, or from the speakers being fed too much power). Some sources will sound louder or quieter with the volume settings being equal, so "max" volume isn't really reflected on the volume knob of the receiver. 85-90% on the onkyo is the furthest I'll take it with the quieter sources.

Because the old receiver was made right before HMDI was released, it had no HDMI ports so I had to run the cables direct to the TV and pass the sound via a Digital Optical cable from the TV to the old receiver. I am assuming my center channel disappearing was an issue with the old receiver.
I plan now to connect my components direct via HDMI to the receiver - with just the one HDMI to the TV using eArc.
Also upgrading my cables to the latest 8K certified ultra high speed since I have to pull some things apart anyway
Based on all I have read, this new receiver should work well for me. I have a 5.1 setup with high end Definitive Technology speakers and a Polk Sub. I plan to use the last 2 assignable speaker connection to run a Zone 2 (connecting it to an amplified device I have that will power built in ceiling speakers I have in 3 rooms of my house).
Once it is set up, I will chime in on how well it works

Definitely check your local Craigslist or local thrift stores as you can find used stereo receivers pretty cheaply.
For instance, these are a few in my area
