Display Mode: Set the aspect ratio for this menu (4:3 or 16:9). With 16:9, you also choose

how it will display on a 4:3 monitor. The aspect ratio of the background and overlay
must match this setting. See

Working with 16:9 Menus

for more information.

Number Pad: Defines which buttons are directly accessible by a DVD player’s numeric

keypad. Choose All, None, or a button number from the pop-up menu. When you
choose a button number, that button and all buttons less than that number are
accessible via the numeric keypad—buttons greater than this value are blocked from
direct access.

Btn Offset: You can use this setting to offset button numbers so they make sense to a

viewer who wants to select a button by entering its number. For example, you may
have a set of scene selection menus with numbered scenes. One of the menus may
have scenes 23 to 34, with the button for scene 23 being the first button on the menu.
If you enter an offset value of 22 for this menu, when the viewer enters 23 on the
remote control, 22 is subtracted from it, with the result being 1—the button’s actual
number.
