Default HELP: Unable to get DDigital/DTS to output from receiver...

Receiver I have is the Harman/Kardon AVR 745. Bought it 2 yrs ago did the complete setup and had no problems until....

..last saturday when the wife decided to watch a movie and hit the wrong button to select the function/BD. Watched a BD disc in Dolby Pro Logic. *YUCK*. Now cant even get it to allow DDigital/DTS as choice surround. Only gives me Dolby PL I/II and dif DSP modes. With DTS I only get the NEO DTS 2 Chan max and any lower quality selections.

Heres the setup:

Source: PS3
Setup (In PS3): outputs Dolby Digital/DTS/48K PCM/96K PCM via Optical line.

Receiver: I have video 1 being PS3 with Source being Optical 2(confirmed this is line used). I know the speakers and optic line work because I am still able to get sound (crappy Pro logic) and did speaker setup test and confirmed the sound from each of my 5 speakers and subwoofer (have 5.1 setup)

However It shows "UNLOCK" every time I put it on now. Then when I auto poll it automatically pickas ANALOG with the optical setup. As though no digital source is available. Thats with a BD disc in and playing.

This ha been the only stump I have ever had in Surround sound the past 14yrs I have sold/installed/hobby of the stuff.

ANYBODY else have this prob? I look forward to any help. If any more info is required let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Check in the BD/DVD settings on PS3 that the audio output is selected as "Bitstream" instead of "Linear PCM"
