Many of us have had the same problem before, and we are all just figuring this out.

I have just got the 705 myself, so am still learning. However I have learned this.

The Receiver only shows the Dolby TrueHD or DTS Master logo (or uncompressed) when the Receiver does the decoding. Because the Blu-Ray player does the decoding, you wont see the corresponding logo on the Receiver. Right now very few players send the signal out un-decoded. It doesn't matter. It is the exact same audio.

Make sure to enable all the audio streams from your player, and activate the HDMI PCM output. Set the receiver to either DIRECT or MULTICHANNEL ( your choice) and you'll be hearing the uncompressed audio as it was intended. The important thing isn't the logo, but the audio.

From what I've learned the display should be HDMI MULTICH PCM on the receiver, and you'll know you have it correct.

Be sure to set your Listening Mode Presets for each type of audio.

Here's what worked best for me:

Analog/PCM = Direct
Dolby Digital = Dolby Digital
DTS = DTS
D.F. 2Ch = PLIIx Movie
D.F. Mono = Mono Movie
Multich PCM = Multich
192k/176.4k = Direct
Dolby TrueHD = Dolby TrueHD
DTS-HD Master Audio = DTS-HD MSTR
DSD = DSD

Using this setup, the receiver decodes what it should, and uses a direct audio for the audio that is already decoded by the player like Dolby TrueHD, DTS Master, and Uncompressed.

I've been proven wrong before, so please take my advise with a grain of salt. I'm sure I'll be corrected if this advise is off base. I'm just letting you know what works for me. I have a very similar setup to yours, so I think this will work.

P.S.
I don't think the PS3 decodes DTS Master, but converts it to a slightly lower quality output. Nonetheless, you should be getting the best quality output it is capable of. If I learn different, I'll post again.
