Sony STR-DN 1080 7.2 speaker configuration

Hi everyone,

Recently I have upgraded from Sony STR-DH540 to STR-DN1080. I am very pleased with it and how it works! One thing that bothers me is that I cannot found out how to connect two subwoofers. In user manual on page 18 it is written:

"You can connect up to 7 speakers and 2 subwoofers to this AV receiver. Place the speakers and
subwoofers according to the speaker system of your preference."

Immediately below this line there is a picture of speakers configuration, with just one subwoofer, and table of all possible speaker configurations except one with two subwoofers!

For the time being I am successfully listening music in 5.1 speaker configuration with Wharfedale SW-10 as SW. I am thinking of adding two more speakers for surround back (L&R) and one more Wharfedale SW-10. But I don't want to throw money on another SW if it is not possible to hook it up!

Can some one please explain is is possible to connect two SW (in same zone) or not!

Thank you

At the back of the 1080 on the audio panel there is input for two sub-woofers just plug in and away you go

Are you sure about that?!

I have found on two other sony forums following:

https://us.community.sony.com/s/question/0D50B00005321QBSAY/connecting-two-subwoofers-to-an-strdn1080?language=en_US

And

https://us.community.sony.com/s/question/0D50B00004IL1QRSA1/connecting-a-sub-to-strdn1080-correctly?language=en_US

Very worrying is last post on second link:

Yeah. So this is a 7.1 receiver, not a 7.2. Very misleading.

I am so puzzled
