Okay, here's a REALLY stupid question...

I just got a Panasonic DMP-BD10AK player, and integrated it with my Denon AVR-2806 connected to Monitor Audio Radius 180's (L/R), NHT AudioCenter-1 (C), M&K K7's (LS/RS), and a Klipsch Sub12 (LFE).

I was playing We Are Marshall the other night, and selected Uncompressed 5.1, and noticed the Denon was in PCM mode, so I stopped the movied and selected DD. I didn't listen to see if it was true PCM over Toslink, or if it was actually 5.1 PCM.

From what I understand, on all the pages I have read on the internet about PCM Uncompressed 5.1 on the BD discs, is if I change my connection from Toslink, and use the 5.1 analog outs on the 10AK, to the 5.1 analog in's on the 2806, I should be able to pick up the Uncompress 5.1 in it's true nature, correct if I set the 2806 to Ext. In. for the DVD!?

Also, what is the difference between the PCM Uncompressed 5.1, and the TrueHD that is on some of the BD discs that I have, and which one is prefered!?

Thanx for the help, and sorry if it sounds a bit whacky!
