DTS-HD Master Audio / Dolby TrueHD / PCM 5.1

So far, I heard DTS-HD Master Audio and it sounded very intense and realistic in Quantum of Solace (James Bond). I have not heard Dolby TrueHD yet and I heard it suppose to sound just as good. There is another sound format called PCM 5.1 and that suppse to sound good as well.

Is there much of a difference in:

- DTS-HD Master Audio

- Dolby TrueHD

- PCM 5.1

Which do you prefer is the BEST sound of the 3 listed above?

I have a DVD player that has HDMI connection.

If I wanted to get the best movie sounds coming from the 79, do I use the single coaxial cable, optical cable or HDMI cable? I have a receiver that will take HDMI connection. Right now, I have connected the 79 with the single coaxial for sounds. I then connected the HDMI cable from the 79 to the TV. My TV also got HDMI connection on the back.

Or do I connect the 79 to my receiver with single HDMI cable to the receiver and then from the receiver to the TV?

I just wanted to know which is the best way to get the best quality sound and picture from the 79.

Thanks for any advice!!!

I have the Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD and I am confused about the HDMI Audio Out part of the setup. Right now, I have it setup to AUTO because I wanted to hear DTS-HD Master Audio. If I set it to PCM, do I still get better quality of sound from DTS-HD Master Audio?
