Yes, assuming they decode them. Like, for instance, no player can currently decode DTS-HDMA so the only thing sent via analog outs/hdmi pcm is a decoded DTS-HD 1,5mbps core signal. And, likewise, the Samsung BD-P1200 cannot decode TrueHD, so it will only send a decoded Dolby Digital core signal through the analog outs/hdmi pcm.
