Thanks everybody! You all are always so hopeful; which is why I enjoy reading on this forum even though I don't post often (since I don't know much). In fact, it was here that I learned I should use my PS3 as a DVD player after my last one died--I'd never done that and thus was missing out on Bluray when I had the capabability.

I am HDMI from PS3 to AVR and HDMI from AVR to the TV. Also, my setup is 5.1. I'll check the settings per the posts above, and then not worry about it (I'll worry about things, of course . . . .)
