No one of them uses MP2, many of DTS and some Video DVD with Music PCM and DTS 24/96. AFAIK DVD have to had an AC3 track accordingly to the specs. The rest is optional. Beside this most of the AV receiver can not handle MP2 audio. OK, my Pioneer can do but without autodetection as done with PCM, AC3, and DTS.
