Bought a new Oppo 980 H dvd player to go with my Panasonic Plasma. I put the Titantic on to watch, it's 16.9 format. Can I get a full screen picture (no black bars on top/bottom) without using the zoom on the Oppo. Thanks for your input!

Yet another black bar thread...

You might want to Google "original aspect ratio" aka OAR, or use the search function on this forum for that.

Movies unlike television programs are not necessarily filmed in 16:9 ; in fact few are. Most are filmed at a wider aspect ratio which will not "fill your screen" as such without zooming either the display or the dvd player.
