What is digital audio output PCM or raw?

If you output raw audio (often called bitstream) then the receiver will do that. If you set the player to output PCM, then the player does the decoding, and the receiver just handles the DSP, speaker management, D/A conversion and volume control.

Is PCM any good?

As PCM, your signal is pure and usually in the highest quality. It takes up a lot of space but sounds very good. There are also formats such as Dolby Digital or DTS where the signal is (source-)encoded. In these two examples, the encoding is done with a loss of quality.

However, the Dolby Digital 5.1 surround should sound much better as the soundtrack has been mixed to work well on surround speaker systems.
