I would not point the finger necessarily at the Yamaha.

I have a Sony blu-ray player that suddenly started sending everything as PCM too. I took the player and moved it to a different receiver and it did the exact same thing.

I happen to have a Panasonic and it works perfectly fine with both receivers. Needless to say the Sony was donated to a family in need as they could use it as is, and I needed a unit that worked.
