Grainy Picture with Blue Ray

I just installed a new high end system. JVC X-7 3D Projector, Pioneer Elite SC 55 and a Pioneer BD player. The picture quality for animated 3D movies is jaw dropping. However, when I watch a non animated Blue Ray the picture is very grainy, with red flecks or snow showing, especially in dark scenes.

Any thoughts on what is going on?

Where did you get the equipment? Who installed it? Is it calibrated?

Purchased everything from a local (Denver) Pioneer reseller, who also does instal. I have a dedicated theater room in my home. I trust the calibration was done correctly... but maybe not. It's very strange - drop dead gorgeous picture with an animated 3-D Blue Ray. But when I put in a non 3-D Blue Ray the picture is really grainy. In dark scenes I can clearly see red flakes or red snow.

My first call would be to the installer or shop you purchased it from. Your problem could be many, how long is the HDMI cable feed, is it one disc or all disc, etc...

All disks. The HDMI cable run is long... about 40 -50 feet. I know it was a high speed cable, thicker than normal.

Thicker cable does not mean high speed it means thicker gauge 22-24g most likely. Blue Jeans cable has a good explanation on HDMI cables.

Could be the receiver, try turning off all video up conversion in the receiver, What about cable TV is the problem still there with HDTV. Try a different DVD/Blu-ray player. Could be a problem with 24fps try turning it off.
