Holy crap. You're right! It was the Audessey settings - specifically the Dynamic EQ. It REALLY boosted the rear speakers. I could have sworn I had all my inputs set the same, but since the Dynamic EQ setting is on a completely different menu than the speaker adjustment settings, I completely missed it. It was enabled on the PC input but disabled on the blu-ray player. This completely explains everything. I can't believe it would do something like that! Thanks so much for your help!
There's an awesome thread over at avsforums with many good tips about it's intent and effect with great input from one of the developers of it. But yeah, the side/back channels often come as a big surprise.
