The setting on the DVD player is for passthrough of the digital bitstream to the receiver. A receiver might be able to do DD but not DTS on this stream or neither, or both; this depends on the receiver.
There are
legal constraints on inputs and outputs as well. These will be applied to standalone DVD players, receivers, CD players, MD player/recorders, DAT players/recorders but probably not PCs. On my Sony equipment, audio from an encrypted DVD
(or a copyrighted CD) cannot be output at 96Hhz due to copyright restrictions. On my Receiver, only the DVD digital inputs will accept 96Khz; the CD, MD, and TV inputs are restricted to 48Khz max.
In my case all of my equipment matches up and it all works OK because they all handle copyright limitations in the same manner. If you have mixed brands (or model years) you could see problems due to different interpretations of copyright restrictions. My only limit is to set the PC to 48Khz since it is using the "TV" input on my receiver since my HDTV tuner is in the PC.
