PS3 or Onkyo Decoding question...

[milou6]

With the new formats it's recommended to have the player decode them internally and send them to the receiver via bitsream -- why? The player adds/mixes various audio channels or player sound effects as needed, either just to hear the "click" as you select a menu item or for more advanced functions/extra features. If you bitsream your audio in its native format for decoding by your receiver you will only get the film's audio track (not that that's a bad thing).
