I have a pre-HDMI Denon AVR-2802 7.1 receiver (making it a 2002, I suppose - that sounds about right).

I know this doesn't solve Scott's problem, but I run HDMI from DirecTV box, Apple TV, and Magnavox blu-ray to a Sony 52" LCD HDTV, and one digital audio out to the Denon. Works a treat. Have been very happy with this setup.
