Actually did a little bit of refreshing myself the other day in this thread on the subject of bitstream vs. PCM. PCM is used for CD playback, whereas bitstream passes the original digital data directly to the player's output. Your player must be set to bitstream to pass Dolby Digital and DTS signals to the receiver or pre/pro.
