Project window and choose Simulate > From Current Position or press
Alt+Ctrl+P. The Simulation window opens and playback begins from the
current menu or title.
2 Use the Remote Control buttons to interact with the project as if you were
the viewer.

the ENTER button to activate a selected button. Test the three Main menu
buttons to verify that they link to the Boeing movie, Scenes menu, and
