I finally got off my duff and figured out how my processor was set up for MC analog input and connected my BR player. Let me say I had no idea that DVD sound was so compressed. You think it sounds good because you just don't know any better. I first set my BR speaker config to center and rears small. They can take it, it just sometimes sounds better with the extreme lows going to sub. My first impression was, wow, the room is suddenly enveloped with sound but something was missing, lows. My processors bass management sucks so I didn't want to mess with the volume control actually on the sub and I couldn't get a separate speaker set up to take in my processor. I then went back into the Samsung and set all speakers to large. This some how had a vast improvement. I wouldn't think the center and rears doing full range would make that much difference, but maybe so. I suspect it had more to do with how the Samsung outputs the MC analog. I could not for the life of me find any place to adjust the speaker levels in the BD-P1200. I need to check my manual but I tried every button on the remote I thought might do something. This don't make sense but I won't go off on a rant until first referring back to the manual.

The uncompressed PCM is surround sound taken to the next level. I could not believe what an amazing improvement. The sound puts you more into the midst of everything, the front and back mesh better, effects are larger and much more pronounced because it's not going from speaker to speaker, it's more like going through your room. I can go on and on but I don't think anything I say will quite make you understand until you experience it for yourself. The overall HT experience with the uncompressed and HD picture together is so much better I may have to eat some crow and replace a couple DVD's with BR. Just maybe a few of the more action based.
