Oh, ok, I didnt know that PS3 does it all in the software. i was under the impression that it has on board decoders (hardware) for HD audio. It doesnt really matter to me if it is hardware or software as long as it can decode Dolby TRUE HD and DTS HD. Skyhawk, you know this for a fact that except for DTS HD Master, a PS3 will handle everything else, right?

I haven't tried it myself since I don't have a receiver that can play multichannel pcm, but any user feedback I've read about it confirms that. I haven't heard of anybody not being able to play them on the ps3

Sorry if I am asking dumb questions but I am a newbie to this whole thing.

If my Integra has HD formats with it do it for the PS3.

I don't know if this makes sense.

If you have pretty bad eyesight and the wrong font, "pcm" looks a lot like "porn"

If that's the case, Ken is finally growing up.

Either that, or he was having trouble with the plot lines.

mtlmike,

The PS3 outputs HD formats as pcm so your receiver needs to be able to receive multichannel pcm through HDMI, and I'm assuming that if your receiver is recent enough to have HD format decoding capability then it should be able to receive pcm as well (big assumption...).

What model do you have?
