sorry the Onkyo 605 does not post process a PCM signal....

But 5.1 uncompressed is awesome anyways... the Onkyo can do 7.1 PCM, so just find titles that use all 7.1 (Lionsgate starting to use 7.1 PCM...and theres a few others)...but for 5.1 PCM thats all you will get. Which honestly, unless its discrete 7.1, all postprocessing is, is matrixing the surround channels...its not a real "back" channel, so youre not missing out on too much.
