The Dolby and DTS logos typically mean that it will pass a DD and DTS digital signal. Most do not contain onboard decoding -- anymore, only DVD-Audio or SACD players include it, because they already have the analog outputs required by an onboard decoder (and in those cases, you are only getting the DD and/or DTS decoding as an afterthought; I still let my 950 handle it even though my DVD-A player has DD & DTS decoders). If you're looking for DVD-A, you'll end up with DD and DTS decoding as well -- it's pretty unavoidable -- but you don't have to use it.
