I just got my Denon 3808, and am using the Panasonic BD30K to play BDs.
The Panasonic has the option to output in PCM or Bitstream. I've searched the Internets high and dry and can't seem to find a concrete answer as to which is better. Most say PCM is better. Some say only PCM can output lossless audio.
My Panasonic manual, however, seems to say otherwise. Its says to choose Bitstream to play the "original format," and that choosing PCM will cause the audio to be downmixed.
And while we're at it, what Surround setting should I employ on the 3808 to make sure I'm listening to the lossless audio signal from the Panasonic?
Thanks.
