I"m in the process of setting up my HT and should have an answer for you in a week. I'm receiving all the gear right now:

Pioneer Elite 150FD
Pioneer 95 BluRay
Denon 3808
Axiom M80's, 150CC, QS8, EP500 sub.

Right now everything is in transit to my house and I am having an electrician wire the Power to to the TV behind a wall and into a Monster Power Conditioner, so that's why it will take a week... but I'll be able to tell you for sure.

I had the same concerns as you. I was going to buy either the Denon or Pioneer Receivers and from the advise on AUDIOHOLIC, AVS, AXIOM, and several other sites all said the DENON should work fine, so I took the plunge.
