    Go to your remote and press the menu. Look for picture setting and select full screen, this will eliminate the black bars on your tv. The 16 X 9 dvd has a different aspect ration for 16 X 9 and you will not be able to remove them using the full screen setting. Hope this will help you out.

    Check your cable/sat box settings and be sure it is also set to 16:9 for the HD line in the box's menu.

    Theyre should be a button on one of your remotes that says "format" or "screen format".
