I wasn't aware that there were any movies out in this sound format as of yet, so I was surprised when we watched the Golden Compass in Blu-ray tonight and saw that my PS3 was outputting it in 7.1 Dts-HD MA, are there any other recent movies with a 7.1 sountrack?

Michael, just curious how you actually saw that. Doesn't the PS3 output HD audio as multichannel PCM?

It shows up on the actual PS3 display when you call it up. It tells you the bitrate of the video, audio, etc, as well as all the codecs playing in those areas.

Okay Steve. Actually what Michael meant then was that the PS3 was playing the 7.1 DTS HD Master Audio track, not that it was outputting it in that bitstream form.

oh no i was responding to you JohnK, I should have specified that yes it does output Multichannel PCM, however you can see it on the PS3's onscreen display which codec it is decoding to Multichannel PCM. it will not bitstream DTS HD MA. I apologize for any confusion/frustration that I may have caused.

Yeah Steve, that's how I understood your first reply, so no problem.

Exactly John, the PS3 was decoding or playing it and and sending it to the receiver via PCM. The movie sounded terrific, but I was watching at fairly low volume levels, tommorrow I'll crank it up when no one is home to get a better idea of how it sounds through the six speakers and sub. One question I have is will my Denon 4806 play it as a true 7.1 by PCM via HDMI or is it limited to 6.1
