Visitors can start any provided multimedia file (movie or sound) at any time. This provides visitors a quick access to their interests. Any other operations which may change the computer settings are inhibited.

Each multimedia file is started by clicking a button which can be labeled.
In addition, function keys (F1 to F12) can be used in place of mouse click.
