Can I Get PCM or TrueHD with my setup???

[greenhat06]

Hey guys, this is my first post here. Been reading for about a month now and finally decided to join (a member of highdefforum but its just kinda dead over there sometimes). Well anyways, I thought I new almost everything about Blu Ray and what it entailed. Well, it turned out that was only video quality wise, and I was totally ignoring the audio aspect of the technology. Now, I have not heard any "high def audio" yet; but from what you guys say, it really blows your socks off haha. So here's my question, can I get HD audio (PCM, TrueHD, or any of the other "new" formats that you guys rave about?) with my setup:

Samsung S1200 BD Player
Denon AVR-987 Receiver

And a 1080p Sony VW50 Projector, but that doesn't really affect it at all...

Any help would be fantastic guys! Thanks alot. If you need anything else, just let me know

According to CNET on Samsung S1200 BD Player :
The good: Excellent image quality on Blu-ray discs and DVDs; HDMI 1.3 output; Ethernet jack to upgrade firmware; more movies available on Blu-ray than HD DVD.

The bad: Expensive; no support for Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master audio.

Apparently, your player does process uncompressed PCM. So the answer to your question is that you can hear high definition sound on some Blu-Ray discs. However, if the discs are encoded with Dolby TrueHD or DTS Master Audio, then your options are standard Dolby Digital, DTS Digital, and Dolby Digital Plus which is better than standard Dolby Digital.
