DVX100Shooter

I know my DVX100 comes with a wide angle lens stock from the factory. I also know that if I want a wider view and to blow my footage up to a larger size that I should use a Anamorphic lens which I do not have nor used yet.
I shot some footage at an event over the summer and I edited it in FCP4. I then burned a DVD and everything is fine. The question that I have is that, I played my DVD on a portable DVD player with a flip up 7 inch wide screen. My project looks as if it was shot in 16:9. I didn't really notice it until I showed my work to a professional Avid editor at my job and he asked how did I get it to fit the wide angle screen. Again, everything looks really good and I have recieved very good comments about my project but I was just curious how I could go from 4:3 to 16:9 and I didn't adjust anything in FCP to output it to a widescreen format.
