PS3 playing 4:3 aspect DVDs on 16:9 aspect TV

[reiella]

Okie doke, I've hit a really nice level of annoyance this morning, especially since I can't figure out for the life of me why this happened.

I'm playing some old 4:3 DVDs on my PS3, and between it and my TV, it gets streched to 16:9. Which is not a situation that occurs with my AIWA DVD player [which connects via Component].

PS3, Samsung TX-R3079WH... Connected via HDMI.

Further fun is that checking the options, I'm either suffering from it being too early or just plain missing it, since I can't find any option that indicates why it would be autostreching PS3 wise. Now, I can change the TV aspect ratio to 4:3, and it works, it's just slightly frustrating [a lil more with anime since they have this nasty tendancy of not listing OAR].

I'm just hoping someone else can help me figure out what I'm doing stupid here .
