 For HD DVD the player must decode any audio codec used on an Advanced Content HD DVD title (most all HD DVD's are authored as Advanced). The player then mixes the audio with button sounds and with PiP (HDi) commentary audio. It sends the resulting audio out the HDMI interface as multichannel linear PCM which is what an AVR will show (MPCM). Everything is working normal, you are getting the full benefit of the HD DVD audio since multichannel linear PCM is lossless. Nothing to change in your AVR. You are all ready to select and fully benefit from a Dolby TrueHD lossless audio track on a HD DVD that offers it as a choice in its menu (the HD DVD menu or the player's remote control Audio button). | This also applies to Blu-ray discs encoded with "Profile v1.1" or higher.
