dts-HD MA decoding works as advertised, only caveat being it seems "New Line" titles with dts-HD MA 7.1 tracks are not being properly output as 7.1 PCM over HDMI, but instead are being seen by A/V receivers as 5.1 PCM. This seems to only apply to dts-HD MA 7.1 titles from New Line, as Oldboy and Doctor Strange seems to output 7.1 from the PS3.
I have the onkyo TX-SR705, and it decoded Pan's Laybrinth at 7.1 DTS-HD MA when my PS3 was set to Linear PCM. Of course my reciever say's PCM 7.1 when I press display from the Onkyo remote, when I press the display button from my PS3 BD remote it displays its decoding DTS-HD MA 7.1.
I having the same issue. I set the PS3 to LPCM 7.1 and my Denon receiver is set to Multi Ch Input...however I'm only getting a 5.1 signal from the Pan's Blu-ray. Have you found a fix to this issue?
F.Y.I. I recently contacted Sony in regards to 7.1 output. Sony indicated that currently, the PS3 does NOT support 7.1 output...only 5.1. It will at some point release a firmware update to output 7.1 audio.

Can you force 7.1 by excluding 5.1 from the PS3 audio settings? Maybe the disks some kind of ordering issue and are offering 5.1 before 7.1.
