Well theres a few things that could be causing the black bars, on most dvd players you can go into the setup menu and you have to change the tv type from 4x3 to 16x9, also are you hooked up through Component cables or composite cables? Also it may depend on what type of movie you are watching, on the back of a DVD movie if it says WIDESCREEN or 16x9 or Aspect Ratio 1:78:1 you should not be getting any black bars.
Heres some more info

Hope that helps.
