What does "DTS 2.0 Digital Out" mean?

Hi, I don't understand this spesification means in my bluray player. When we using digital out (coaxial or fiberoptic), don't we send out raw digital data to external receiver ?

DTS is a digital stream to the receiver. You can specify a 5.1 mix or a stereo 2.0 mix in the Blu-Ray setup menu.

The selected stream is decoded in the receiver.

Besides, Although the player doesn't support DTS HD MA, I can play movie files with only DTS HD MA audio format. How I don't know??

It down mixes it inside the player. The same way a dvd with only Dolby Digital will output stereo.

All BluRay players must support DTS HD MA. It's a requirement like AC3 support on DVD players.

My bluray player doesn't, you can look from its spec. philips bdp 2500. It only supports DTS and DTS 2.0 Digital Out that's why I asked this question
