What movie are you trying???
Does it say DTS-HD on the disk or box???
Have you changed the audio options on the disk menu audio area??? It could be defaulting to PCM (I think it is better then DTS-HD)
What is the PS3 audio settings set at??

PS3 settings

The PS3 can only send DTS-MA and TrueHD sound format tracks via Multichannel PCM. It cannot bitstream those 2 formats. If it could bitstream them then the little logos would show up on your receiver. Just make sure your receiver says its receiving "Multichannel PCM" and you will be fine.
