BDP-S370 DVD screen ratio wrong after update

After upgrading to M03.R.742 firmware, the screen size for DVD pictures appears to be wrong. For example, before the update, a DVD I've played before on the machine with no problems - a native 16:9 ratio - no longer displays in the correct size on the TV, i.e. fills the screen with no bars. Set to output 16:9 on the BluRay and 16:9 on the TV, the picture has black bars top and bottom and appears to be squashed a little from top and bottom, as well as not fully reaching to either side of the screen. Changing the ratios on the player and TV doesn't make a difference, the picture is either squashed or, if set to 'zoom' on the TV, it will fill the picture but cut off the sides. It's something that happens to all my DVDs now, but BluRay playback is fine - exactly how the picture should be on whatever setting. I haven't altered any of the settings from previously. Having fiddled about with the settings on the TV and BluRay player, I can't find a solution. I wonder if it might be related to this part of the update:

'Solves the issue where a horizontal bar was visible in bottom 1/3 of picture when DVD playback was upscaled to 1080p.'

The player is set to upscale DVDs to 1080p.

Thanks.

Hi, since that update various problems seem to have developped : for me DVD playback is OK but I can no longer read MKV video files.
