NOTE: The 3D Tour: Autoplay option means that the iGUIDE will start on the 3D Tour tab and the iGUIDE tour will start automatically, with no requirement to press a play button. If you were to select the Video: Autoplay > 3D Tour Autoplay option, the iGUIDE would start on the Video tab and the video would autoplay. Once the video ends you will be brought to the 3D Tour tab and the tour will autoplay.
