Prior to the update, yes via optical. Via HDMI, it'll decode the DTS CORE.

In ALL DTS audio streams, the DTS Core is there. The DTS Core is augmented by additional data packets to make up the lossy DTS-HD HR. There is still debate over how DTS HDMA is encoded - is it like DTS-HD HR or is it DTS HDMA + DTS Core.

Thanks for the info. I went and tested afew more blus (Saw III, First Blood, and just to add a control factor Sleep Hallow, and The Untouchables). All the LG BDs are outputting DTS HD MA (6.1 for Saw III, 5.1 for First Blood) at 3.0mbps, while the 2 Paramount titles outputted their posted audio tracks (DTS 5.1, and DTS:ES 6.1 - both at 1.5mbps). The bit I listened to of The Devil's Rejects definitely sounded better than I remember previously (at double the bitrate, I imagine there should be a noticeable difference), and I'm pretty sure that it was not outputting 6.1 before the firmware update.
