If you’re presenting content with sound, you can use the buttons on the front control panel to increase, decrease, mute and unmute the volume (see Front control panel).

You can temporarily freeze the screen by pressing and holding the Mute button on the front control panel (see Front control panel). This is particularly useful when you want to pause a video, an animation or other moving content.

Notes 

  • Some older models might not support screen freezing.

  • Freezing the screen does not pause any applications running on the connected computer. It simply freezes the display of those applications.

To unfreeze the screen, press and hold the Mute button again.
