Im using 1.3 HDMI cables. please help me !!!

I didn't know read what the other replys were but here is the simply answer. you get True HD and DTS HD with your 705 and PS3. Only the PS3 can only output the Soundstream in PCM. That means that the PS3 decodes the Sound and your Receiver will always only display "Multichannel". You can check what Sound is really played in the menu of your PS3!

That's about it. If you want True HD or DTS HD Master written on the Display of your Receiver you need to get a Blu Ray Player than can output the HD Soundformats in Bitstream

or u can put a piece of tape that says True HD on ur receivers screen.. LOL

yeah my ps3 + 606 does the same thing only says multichannel pcm... but i dont really care.

You can alternately hit the "display" button (make sure "receiver" button is selected under remote mode ) on the onkyo remote & it should display "MCH PCM 7.1" on the receiver if everything is set up correctly.
I have the same set up (onkyo TX-SR705 & PS3) & finally understand that just because it says "Multi Channel" doesn't mean I'm not getting my DTS-HD or DD+TrueHD. I check the PS3 display button & Onkyo display button now just to be sure

I Have A Ps3 And It Bitstreams To My Yamaha Receiver And The Panel Lights Up Dolby True Or Dts-hd-ma

I just got the TX 606 from Onkyo, and this is my first 7.1 setup and was expecting the front panel to light up, and was worried that I did something wrong during the setup. Hopefully PS3 will pass bitstream some time soon.

My bigest concern is, is it true 7.1 channels, no 2 channels simulated into 7, i want to make sure that i'm getting true 7.1 sound from dts hd ma / dolby + hd and so on. Is there any loss using pcm 7.1 as compared to bitstream for example if i were to get a standalone Sony bluray player and let the amp do the processing, or is the ps3 just as good

The PS3 will never bitstream TrueHd or DTS Master.

No, you don't. It is a hardware issue in the HDMI port on the PS3. It will NOT bitstream HD audio. You obviously are mistaken by what you think you see or understand about your AVR.
