The front "digital" indicator on the 990 relates to audio only, not video. When you say "100% component" does that mean you've gone to component video across the board or am I misunderstanding? It sounds like you've connected the DVD player to the 990's DVI1 input, in which case you need to have the 990's DVI out connected to your projector's HDMI input and have the projector set to that input. If you have component run to the projector, then you need to run component from the DVD to the 990 and set the 990's DVD input to that component input (probably "Comp-DVD").
