What a great set of Christmas gifts.
Welcome to the forum, the format, and the future.

As far as calibrating your tv you can go here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/
Enter the term "calibrate samsung lnt 4061f" into the forum search and it should point you to postings from people with your tv recommending how to tweak the settings.

You should get 2 hdmi cables; 1 to go from the PS3 to the ht receiver, and 1 to go from the receiver to the tv.
Here's a great place to get hdmi cables at very affordable prices: http://www.monoprice.com/products/pr...seq=1&format=2
If you'd rather not wait for hdmi cables in the mail you should be able to pick them up at your local cable tv office for under $20 a piece.
