You can probably get DTS-HD from the few titles that had it, but as you said, it's been phased out, so you only get the base DTS from MA discs.

Do you think setting the default output of the player to PCM would do anything?
And I am not sure if I would get the DTS-HD because the receiver doesn't support it. I am going to find a title just to see what happens.

If you output PCM then the receiver doesn't need to know what format the audio started in. The question is if the player can decode DTS-HD MA to PCM.
I actually prefer for the player to decode to PCM, I think it's the right thing to do. The TV doesn't know anything about MPEG/AVC/VC1, it just wants video frames. Why should the receiver have to know about DD/DTS/AAC? Just send audio samples.

I feel really dumb. I did a little experimenting. I found a Blu Ray with a DTS-HD High Resolution track and sure enough my receiver displayed it. I always thought that the core was a subset of DTS-HD High Resolution and DTS-HD High Resolution was a subset of DTS-HD Master Audio. No. My BDP can only play DTS from a DTS-HD Master Audio disc.
Everything Club Neon said was true.

It's even more scary to know that I didn't look any of that up, it was all bouncing around in my head from when I read a PDF describing the packet format of a DTS bitsteam several years ago.
