You're welcome.

The zoom on the Oppo will get rid of the bars, but becareful, you might loose picture quality and some informaton on each side of the screen such as faces being cut off, as you are no longer watching the film in the original form.

I myself dont' mind the black bars as they aren't nearly as bad on a 16:9 screen as they are on a 4:3.

Enjoy!
