Um, no.
Lamens terms:
A progressive scan DVD player will allow all lines to be scanned at the same time.
Better cables offer a better quality transfer from you DVD player or PS2 than say S-Video or RCA would. HDMi being the best way to go right now. (DVI/DAI)
OK, a straight signal from a STV broadcast on a 16:9 TV will produce bars on the left/right side of the TV. Because you are watching a square box image (4:3) on a rectangled platform (16:9) in lamens terms.... Likewise, if you are watching a widescreen version (16:9) DVD on a 4:3 TV this will produce bars on the top/bottom of the screen..
So, unless you stretch/crop this in your settings, whatever the source is (either 4:3 or 16:9) is how it will be displayed on your TV. Cabling has nothing to do with this function.
The 16:9 setting on your PS2 (some games) will merely stretch the image to fill the screen. (unless the game is in 480p/720p/1080i).
I would suggest you to go here to learn more about this technology.
