LPCM Question/ HD Audio

[LembasBread]

From what you've described you have your BD player's audio feeding the receiver via analog inputs. Therefore your receiver isn't getting any digital audio which is what LPCM is - raw 1's and 0's of digital audio. So LPCM isn't going to show up on the receiver's display. It is correct that Multichannel is all your getting.

As long as you have a BD's audio track set to LPCM, that is what your getting - an analog converted LPCM audio waveform coming down those RCA connectors.

Gotcha. If it is True HD or DTS MA how will it be sent? Just compressed multichannel Dolby Digital or DTS. With the 506 if audio was sent via HDMI only can I get uncompressed or HD sound?
Thanks
