Re: PCM or Dolby
PCM is uncompressed, allowing the decoding (of DTS or various other surround sound formats) to be done by the connected equipment.

Dolby is a compressed output.

If your just talking a soundbar then I doubt you'll notice any difference, but if you have a half decent receiver connected then PCM would be the way to go.
