DVX100a "Squeeze" Mode

[PetRockProducer]

A Buddy of Mine and i were trying to film a Dance recital in 16:9 DV, however, on his 100a, he has only a letterbox option as we found out, with no squeeze option. Is there a reason for this, he got it as a cheap eBay find, he only has norm and letterbox. We ended up having to film in 4:3. Is there any reason he should not have that option, or is there a firmware update to get it?

I have two DVX100As. Both of them have a squeeze mode. There are three models of DVX. The original DVX100, the 100A and the 100B. Perhaps what you have is actually the orginal DVX100.
