Yes, you mentioned it, but just in passing. Since I dont know of any manufacturer who calls it raster squeeze (Sony calls it 16:9 enhancement mode), I thought a bit more information would be useful.
I'm glad more manufacturers are starting to offer it. When I got my Wega, Sony was about the only one.
Its only to be used for DVDs recorded in anamorphic mode. You do NOT want to use it with non-anamorphic disks, or you will distort your image. Non-anamorphic recordings do not use the full vertical image space, but have the black bars as part of the image. Fortunatly, most disks are anamorphic. For those unfamiliar with this mode, there are various terms used to describe disks recorded this way. Some say 'anamorphic', some say 'enhanced for widescreen TVs', etc.
