I just reset my Panasonic A110 to factory settings.Can not find my owners manual,and need to set my audio out setting for the DVD player. I don't remember what they were.My DVD player is connected to the receiver with optical cable.The receiver decodes DD and DTS.The following are my choices via the DVD players menue.

LPCM (DVD)- off or pcm
Dolby Digital- pcm or bitstream
DTS- off or bitstream

Thanks Jim

Leave PCM off and turn Dolby Digital and DTS to bitstream.

PCM is an uncompressed digital stereo signal. It transfers at approx. 1.4Mbps, more than a full-rate DTS signal. It gives very good sound. I forget what L stands for though.
