| |
| \item[LCD Settings:] |
| This sub menu contains settings that relate to the display of the \dap. |
| \begin{description} |
| \opt{HAVE_BACKLIGHT}{ |
| \item[Backlight:] |
| The amount of time the backlight shines after a key press. If set to |
| \setting{Off}, the backlight will not light when a button is pressed. If |
| set to \setting{On}, the backlight will never shut off. If set to a time |
| (1 to 90 seconds), the backlight will stay lit for that amount of time |
| after a button press. |
| \item[Backlight (While Plugged In):] |
| This setting is equivalent to the \setting{Backlight} setting except it |
| applies when the \dap{} is plugged into the charger. |
| \item[Backlight on Hold:] |
| This setting controls the behavior of the backlight when the Hold switch |
| is toggled. If set to \setting{Normal} the backlight will behave as usual. |
| If set to \setting{Off} the backlight will be turned off immediately when |
| the Hold switch is engaged and if set to \setting{On} the backlight will |
| be turned on and stay on while the Hold switch is engaged. |
| \item[Caption Backlight:] |
| This option turns on the backlight a number of seconds before the start |
| of a new track, and keeps it on for the same number of seconds after the |
| beginning so that the display can be read to see song information. The |
| amount of time is determined by the value of the backlight timeout |
| setting, but is no less than 5 seconds. |
| \opt{HAVE_BACKLIGHT_PWM_FADING}{ |
| \item[Backlight fade in:] |
| The amount of time that the backlight will take to fade from off to on |
| after a button is pressed. If set to \setting{Off} the backlight will |
| turn on immediately, with no fade in. Can also be set to \setting{500ms}, |
| \setting{1s} or \setting{2s}. |
| \item[Backlight fade out:] |
| Like Backlight fade in, this controls the amount of time that the |
| backlight will take to fade from on to off after a button is pressed. If |
| set to \setting{Off} the backlight will turn off immediately, with no |
| fade out. Other valid values: \setting{500ms}, \setting{1s}, |
| \setting{2s}, \setting{3s}, \setting{4s}, \setting{5s} or \setting{10s}. |
| } |
| \item[First Keypress Enables Backlight Only:] |
| With this option enabled the first keypress while the backlight is turned |
| off will only turn the backlight on without having any other effect. When |
| disabled the first keypress will \emph{also} perform its appropriate action. |
| |
| \opt{HAVE_LCD_SLEEP}{ |
| \item[Sleep (After Backlight Off):] |
| This setting controls how long rockbox will wait before turning off the |
| display after the backlight is turned off. Turning off the display |
| saves a little bit of battery power but turning on the display takes |
| noticeably longer than just turning on the backlight. |
| } |
| |
| \opt{HAVE_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS}{ |
| \item[Brightness:] |
| Changes the brightness of your LCD display. |
| } |
| } % \opt{HAVE_BACKLIGHT} |
| |
| \opt{archos,h1xx,ipodmini,ipod3g,ipod4g,x5}{ |
| \item[Contrast:] |
| Changes the contrast of your LCD display. |
| \warn{Setting the contrast too dark or too light can make it hard to |
| find this menu option again!} |
| } % \opt{archos,h1xx,ipodmini,ipod4g,x5} |
| |
| \opt{HAVE_LCD_INVERT}{ |
| \item[LCD Mode:] |
| This setting lets you invert the colours of the display. |
| } |
| |
| \opt{HAVE_LCD_FLIP}{ |
| \item[Upside Down:] |
| Displays the screen so that the top of the display is nearest the buttons. |
| This is sometimes useful when carrying the \dap{} in a pocket for easy |
| access to the headphone socket. |
| } |

| \opt{HAVE_REMOTE_LCD}{ |
| \item[Remote-LCD Settings:] |
| This sub menu contains settings that relate to the display of the remote. |
| \begin{description} |
| \item[Backlight:] |
| Similar to the main unit backlight this option controls the backlight |
| timeout for the remote control. The remote backlight is independent |
| from the main unit backlight. |
| \item[Backlight on When Plugged:] |
| This controls the backlight when the \dap\ is plugged into the charger. |
| \item[Caption Backlight:] |
| This option turns on the backlight a number of seconds before the start |
| of a new track, and keeps it on for the same number of seconds after the |
| beginning so that the display can be read to see song information. The |
| amount of time is determined by the value of the backlight timeout |
| setting, but is no less than 5 seconds. |
| \item[First Keypress Enables Backlight Only:] |
| This controls what happens when you press a button on your remote |
| while the backlight is turned off. Like for the main unit, if this |
| setting is set to \setting{Yes}, the first keypress will light up the |
| remote backlight, but have no other effect. If set to \setting{No}, |
| the first keypress will light up the remote backlight |
| \emph{and} engage the function of the key that is pressed. |
| \item[Contrast:] |
| Changes the contrast of your remote's LCD display. |
| \warn{Setting the contrast too dark or too light can make it hard to |
| find this menu option again!} |
| \item[LCD Mode:] |
| This setting lets you invert the whole screen, so now you get a |
| black background and light text and graphics. |
| \item[Upside Down:] |
| Displays the screen so that the top of the display is nearest |
| the buttons. This is sometimes useful when carrying the \dap\ in a |
| pocket for easy access to the headphone socket. |
| \opt{h1xx,h300}{ |
| \item[Reduce Ticking:] |
| Enable this option if you can hear a ticking sound in your headphones |
| when using your remote. |
| } |

| \item[Scrolling] |
| This feature controls how text will scroll in Rockbox. You can configure |
| the following parameters: |
| \begin{description} |
| \item[Scroll Speed:] |
| Controls how many times per second the scrolling text moves a step. |
| \item[Scroll Start Delay:] |
| Controls how many milliseconds Rockbox should wait before a new |
| text begins scrolling. |
| \opt{HAVE_LCD_BITMAP}{ |
| \item[Scroll Step Size:] |
| Controls how many pixels the text scroll should move for each step. |
| } |
| \opt{HAVE_REMOTE_LCD}{ |
| \item[Remote Scrolling Options:] |
| The options here have the same effect on the remote LCD as the options |
| mentioned above have on the main LCD. |
| } |
| \item[Bidirectional Scroll Limit:] |
| Rockbox has two different scroll methods: always scrolling the text |
| to the left and when the line has ended beginning again at the start, |
| or moving to the left until you can read the end of the line and scroll |
| right until you see the beginning again. Rockbox chooses which method |
| it should use depending of how much it has to scroll left. This setting |
| lets you tell Rockbox where that limit is, expressed in percentage of |
| line length. |
| \opt{HAVE_LCD_BITMAP}{ |
| \item[Screen Scrolls Out of View:] |
| On lists with long entries that don't fit on the screen using |
| \opt{recorder,recorderv2fm,h1xx,h300}{\ButtonOn+\ButtonRight/ |
| \ButtonLeft}\opt{ondio}{\ButtonMenu+\ButtonRight/\ButtonLeft} |
| the complete content will be scrolled right/left. With this option set to |
| \setting{Yes} the lines can scroll out of view. Otherwise the entries |
| will only scroll as far as they align to the margins. |
| \item[Screen Scroll Step Size:] |
| Determines how many pixels the text should advance in every click when |
| scrolling the screen. |
| } |
| \opt{player}{ |
| \item[Jump Scroll:] |
| This setting makes text scroll a page at a time instead of a character |
| at a time. If set to \setting{One time}, \setting{2}, \setting{3} or |
| \setting{4} it will scroll a line in paged mode that many times and |
| then scroll it a character at a time. If set to \setting{Always} lines |
| will always scroll in paged mode. |
| \item[Jump Scroll Delay:] |
| Controls how long the delay is before a page is scrolled. |
| } |
| \item[Paged Scrolling:] |
| When enabled scrolling will page up/down instead of changing lines. This |
| can be useful on slow displays. |
| \end{description} |

| \opt{HAVE_LCD_BITMAP}{ |
| \item[Status/Scrollbar:] |
| Settings related to on screen status display and the scrollbar. |
| \begin{description} |
| \item[Scroll Bar:] Enables or disables the scroll bar at the left. |
| \item[Status Bar:] Enables or disables the status bar at the upper side. |
| \opt{RECORDER_PAD}{ |
| \item[Button Bar:] Enables or disables the button bar prompts for the |
| ``F''-keys at the bottom of the screen. |
| } |
| \item[Volume Display:] Controls whether the volume is displayed as a |
| graphic or a numeric value on the Status Bar. If you select a numeric |
| display, volume is displayed in decibels. |
| \fixme{cross-reference to volume setting.} |
| \item[Battery Display:] Controls whether the battery charge status is |
| displayed as a graphic or numerical percentage value on the Status Bar. |
| \end{description} |
| } |
| % |
| \opt{HAVE_LCD_BITMAP}{ |
| \item[Peak Meter:] |
| The peak meter can be configured with a number of parameters. |
| \begin{description} |
| \item[Peak Release:] |
| This determines how fast the bar shrinks when the music becomes |
| softer. Lower values make the peak meter look smoother. |
| Expressed in scale units per 10ms. |
| \item[Peak Hold Time:] |
| Specifies the time after which the peak indicator will reset. |
| For example, if you set this value to 5s, the peak indicator displays |
| the loudest volume value that occurred within the last 5 seconds. |
| Larger values are useful if you want to find the peak level of a song, |
| which might be of interest when copying music from the \dap\ via the |
| analogue output to some other recording device. |
| \item[Clip Hold Time:] |
| The number of seconds that the clipping indicator will be visible |
| after clipping is detected. |
| \opt{HAVE_RECORDING}{ |
| \item[Clip Counter:] |
| Show the number of times the clip indicator went active during |
| recording in front of the peakmeters. |
| } |
| \item[\label{ref:Peakmetersetting}Scale:] |
| Select whether the peak meter displays linear or logarithmic values. |
| The human ear perceives loudness on a logarithmic scale. If the Scale |
| setting is set to \setting{Logarithmic} (dB) scale, the volume values |
| are scaled logarithmically. The volume meters of digital audio |
| devices usually are scaled this way. On the other hand, if you |
| are interested in the power level that is applied to your headphones |
| you should choose \setting{Linear} display. This setting cannot be |
| displayed in units like volts or watts because such units depend |
| on your headphones. |
| \item[Minimum and maximum range:] |
| These two options define the full value range that the peak meter |
| displays. Recommended values for the \setting{Logarithmic} (dB) setting |
| are {}-40 dB for minimum and 0 dB for maximum. Recommended values |
| for \setting{Linear} display are 0 and 100\%. Note that {}-40 dB is |
| approximately 1\% in linear value, but if you change the minimum |
| setting in linear mode slightly and then change to the dB scale, |
| there will be a large change. You can use these values for `zooming' |
| into the peak meter. |
| \end{description} |
| } |
| \item[Default Codepage:] |
| A codepage describes the way extended characters that aren't available |
| within the ASCII character set are encoded. ID3v1 tags don't have a |
| codepage encoding contained so Rockbox needs to know what encoding has |
| been used when generating these tags. This should be ``ISO-8859-1'' but |
| to support languages outside Western Europe most applications use |
| the setting of your operating system instead. If your operating system |
| uses a different codepage and you're getting garbled extended characters |
| you should adjust this settings. In most cases sticking to |
| ``ISO-8859-1'' would be sufficient. |
