General description of Control Panel
The panel consists of three sections - left, center and right. On the left you select what you want to use and on the right you have screen and volume controls at all times. In the center section the layout changes to the selection you last made and shows the relative controls for that selection. If you want to play a CD while you project your PC, you may do so by starting the projection and than switch to CD to control the player.

The lectern height controls are in the room section.
