Adjusting the Image Shape

To avoid projecting with a distorted image shape, make sure the
projector is positioned in line with the center of the screen (not
to its left or right). Make sure the projector faces the screen
squarely.
If the image is distorted after raising the projector, you can use
the projector's keystone correction function to adjust the shape.
Note: You can correct only vertical keystoning with this function.
Images can be corrected when the projector is tilted to a maximum
of ±30° for images with a 4:3 aspect ratio, or ±20° for 16:9
images.

and DVD images have an aspect ratio of 16:9. If your video
source is 16:9, you can change the aspect ratio to view the video
in 16:9 wide-screen format.
