You have to turn the box off then press the menu button this will bring up the output/closed captioning set-up screen in here you find aspect control, output rez and 4:3 override.
Actually you can put the DCT-5100 in 4:3 Pan & Scan which will eliminate the bars. Though to be most effective you should probably switch output to 480P as well.
Ok I've seen alot of people post about ESPN-HD and how badly they want it. I've got it and I'm going to rant how much I wish I didn't have it. Why would you launch a channel that shows less than 5% a month of true HD programming and then force your viewers to watch upconverted SD...
