Does the Samsung BD-P1400 decode TrueHD through RCA?

I listened to Dave Matthews - Live at Radio City last night. I'm curious if the Samsung bd-p1400 decodes the Dolby TrueHD 96KHz through the analog RCA jacks. I have the player hooked up through that and TOSLINK that's set to bitstream. While set to the TrueHD track, for curiosity I set my receiver to digital input and a dolby 5.1 was being played which I am assuming is a downmix just for digital.
Now I'm concerned that the Dolby TrueHD is coming through the RCA or it is accessible through HDMI only, much like DTS-HD Master.

Anyone know?

The P1400 will decode and pass all audio formats through its 5.1 analog output except DTS-HD MA. The only catch is the well known bug in the current (and past) firmware version where you must reset the speaker sizes everytime the unit is turned on unless you set the speakers to "large" then the setting will stick.
