They do have one thing wrong there though.

To hear Dolby TrueHD, you will need a receiver that supports this format. In the future, there may be Blu-ray players that decode Dolby TrueHD and output the audio through analog ports, so this may be another option.

NOTE: When setting up your player to pass a Dolby Digital stream to your A/V receiver, make sure you set the digital output of your player to "Bitstream." If it is set to PCM, you will get a down-sampled stereo version of the surround track which your receiver may then attempt to play back as Dolby ProLogic surround. The audio experience will be compromised and will not sound good. You can tell if you have your player set up correctly by using the Audio Optimization menu on the disc to ensure you are hearing the discrete mix.
Selecting PCM will decode the TrueHD with the PS3's internal decoder and sent it through as PCM. You only want to set it as bitstream if your receiver has TrueHD decoding.
