Try turning the prologic processing on and off, and you will prbably notice the quality difference.

Thanks for all of the information, everyone.

Dolby Prologic isn't multichannel? Aren't some movies and Tv programs Dolby Prologic surround? Is DTS the only true surround format?

I got the PS3 mainly for the SACD surround feature and before I could even play one SACD the feature was ripped out. I bought the PS3 a couple of weeks ago. I'm not much of a gamer so I hope the thing plays Blu-ray movies well.
