i appreciate the response. What you said above is correct, but I became a little hesitant after I came across this entry from the owner's manual (page 21):

"When [Digital Output] option is set to [Auto], the audio may output as bitstream. If the Bitstream information is not detected from HDMI device with EDID, the audio may output as PCM."

As I understand the footnote (and please correct me if I am wrong), it is possible that the signal may not be passed to the receiver in the form of bitstream but as PCM instead. While PCM (LPCM) is lossless audio, nevertheless it is still not DTS:X.
