As Jessie points out, beginning with #3, the audio is actually flagged as DTS. I have a #2 - which for the most part is the same as #3 (#2 has "The Mask" and "Contact" where #3 has "Casper" and "Apollo 13"). The problem with #2 is that while the DTS track is encoded as PCM, I haven't been able to get it to play in most modern processors. The internal decoder in the DMP-BD10 (Panasonic Blu-ray) will not decode it, and the DTS processor in my Denon receiver also ignores it. The only way I've gotten it to play is through the Millennium 2.4.6 external decoder.
I've never personally seen Demo #1, but I've heard it is the same clips as on the DTS Demo LaserDisc.
