I'd add in a preamplifier with surround bypass inputs, then use the preamp for two channel, and the Denon works as the surround processor and amplifier for the center/surround channels. This would free up some power for the center/surround channels as well. Then, if you want, you can upgrade to a dedicated outboard surround decoder and multichannel amplifier later (usually big $$$ for a good setup) If you're sticking with 5-channel, a used seperate proc/amp is more reasonable.

I was going to do this the other way around, I have a SFL1 with surround pre in that I was going to add on to. Now I'm moving to an all solid-state McIntosh setup so I can do multizone as well as home theater.
