Pan was one of five "problem" BDs released about a year ago when the PS3 got the dts-MA upgrade. I say "problem" because the mixing house flagged the surrounds with a non-standard placement and some decoders reacted by downmixing 7.1 to 5.1. Perhaps that's what's happening with your Denon decoder. I suggest trying a different 7.1 disc (not Hairspray, Shoot 'em Up, or two others that I can't recall off the top of my head that also had the downmixing problem.)
