I'm a noob on receiver stuff but from what I pieced together here, I got the right idea? Sorry to all the forum ghestopo, but I wanted to verify. You can get 50 different suggestions from the search function.

Yes, if you set your PS3 to PCM your set for all cases. You will only get core DTS, but bitstreaming won't change that, because the PS3 can neither decode nor bitstream DTS HD MA.

So the decoding happens in the PS3 and the DD light will not light on your 605.
