Great info Mike. It only seems to make sense to me that your receiver doesn't fully understand the PCM it is getting over the HDMI. Could this be an HDMI version incompatibility with the receiver and the player? Seems like you had to have 1.1 for multichannel PCM audio to work? I can't remember, sorry. I think it would be worth checking into or trying a different HDMI receiver, even though your HK 745 should be new and up to the task. Maybe take your disc to some store displays with different recievers and see how they behave.
