If those DVDs are past the return/exchange time frame, you might want to trade them in, or sell them to a local used media store, and rebuy them again, If you want to have those titles in your collection. Do you have another DVD or blu-ray player to test them on?

First, I tried playing the discs on a different setup. They worked perfectly. I then reseated the cable in my personal player - when that did nothing, I tried another input on the TV (mine has three hdmi inputs), when that did nothing, I tried two different HDMI cables..and I'm still having the same problem. :-/
Thanks for the responses, by the way. It's appreciated.
