For TrueHD and DD+:
If your receiver has HDMI or 5.1 analog, you can decode these formats.


For DTS-HD:
I think the BD players are doing the decoding for this, since there are no DTS-HD receivers yet. However, I'm not sure that the PS3 can do this. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: The PS3 does not internally decode DTS-HD. However, it may be able to with a future firmware upgrade.

There's some great info here: http://www.highdefdigest.com/feature...x360addon.html
