Bitstream of PCM on my DVD player

When I setup my DVD player should I have it set to Bitstream or PCM, which is better, and what is the difference? Thanks again

I have a Panasonic RP-82 that can do the decoding, right now I'm connecting it directly to the TV via a couple of RCA's, so, should I set it up PCM or Bitstream ?
