Smile PCM vs Dolby Digital

I'm sure this has been addressed, but I'm new to Blu Ray, so apologies.

I just got all new eq today: my 1st Blu ray player, a SONY BDP BX1 (= BDPS 350), plus a Yamaha RX-V863 receiver. TV = Samsung LN52A650, 52" LCD 120mhz HDTV. All hooked up via HDMI's.

Played my 1st blue ray tonight, and "PCM" comes up. Not Dolby Digital. Is this expected? Is PCM better?

Also, the blu ray was playing as 1080i / 60hz. Shouldn't it play at 1080p + 120hz?

Thanks for the help.

Fred
