Just bought a new Samsung Blu-ray player, but there is no way to hook it up to my 2005 Mitsubishi tv. Are there any type of adapter cables that would solve this?
I'm assuming that your new blu-ray player only has an HDMI port and your TV does not. In that case, does your tv have a component cable output? This should be five plug-in ports (red, white, red, green, blue). Amazon sells an HDMI to component adapter that you can buy here: http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-538581-HDMI-Cable-5-Feet/dp/B005QWH4QA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382102257&sr=8-1&keywords=hdmi+to+component+cable
what if the tv only has the 3 component cable ouput -- red/white/yellow -- is there a connection from HDMI port on player to the 3 output on tv?
I'm sure one is out there but there would be no point in hooking up a Blu-ray player using RCA (r/y/w) analog cables. It would be like hooking up a tape deck to a $3,000 Bose surround sound system. Plus, the player is sending out a digital signal while your tv can only support analog. You will need to either buy a new tv or stick with DVD.

SOURCE: Black Bars on all blu ray movies
Hi icmjrtdr,
Having black bars displayed when watching a Blu-Ray disc is a common occurrence, even with a widescreen television.
You may have heard or seen aspect ratios of 4:3 or 16:9. 4:3 is the ratio of a traditional television that is nearly square. 16:9 is the ratio of most widescreen televisions currently marketed. The reason that even with a 16:9 television Blu-Ray discs are displaying black bars is that many of these discs contain footage that has not been reformatted for television. The screen in a movie theater is even wider than 16:9, and rather than trim the ends, most Blu-Ray discs maintain the entire picture.
Depending on the options available in your particular television, you may be able to find a zoom setting that trims the ends and removes the black bars. It is up to you if you would rather see black bars with the entire picture or lose a small amount of the picture on each side for a full-screen experience.
Hope this helps,
Jason,
