all of the titles you mentioned are DTS-HD-MA except for 3:10 to Yuma which is uncompressed PCM 7.1 so you shouldn't have gotten the DTS light for that. since your receiver doesn't decode either of the lossless codecs and won't support bitstream via HDMI, are you stating you did a "display" from your sony and that is what you saw? I know your receiver will "pass thru" the LPCM signal from your player since it (your player) does the decoding onboard; is your player set to do "onboard decoding" of the HD codecs and then it sends them out LPCM via HDMI? If that is the case then the only thing you should be seeing on your receiver for an input is something like "multichannel LPCM" & the number of channels, i.e. 5 - 7.1, check your setup.
as for the numbers you got, i'm not sure how your receiver interprets the signal via pass-thru. I can only recommend that you read your manual for that. it should tell you what those numbers mean.
you should be seeing 7.1, unless the receiver during the speaker setup & calibration "knows" that you don't have the 2 additional surround back speakers connected then it will only show 5.1 out but it should show that you are receiving 7.1 in from the player.
