Before anybody lectures about movies being widescreen and not filling the whole screen speech, read first.


Example: The Matrix


On my old Toshiba Progressive Scan DVD player running through component the movie was 16X9 full screen. I looked great! I always thought this was odd and I know for a fact it wasn't zoomed in.


Now with the new Denon the screen looks grainy. I have it setup for 16X9 and progressive scan through component but it isn't filling the whole screen like the Toshiba.


I have a ED Panasonic Plasma if that maters. Settings on the TV have not changed.


Can anybody give me any insight as to a possible reason for this? Will it look better if I connect the DVD player through DVI (I would have to invest more money for the DVI blade)?


Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Matrix has 2.35:1 aspect ratio so properly displayed it should have black bars on top and bottom. I have no idea why it appeared full screen before, probably an incorrect setup on display or player originally. How you are getting now is correct though.
