| % include the front image. Using \specimg makes this fairly easy, |
| % but requires to use the exact value of \specimg in the filename! |
| % The extension is selected in the preamble, so no further \ifpdfoutput |
| % is necessary. |
| % |
| % The check looks for a png file -- we use png for the HTML manual, so that |
| % format needs to be present. It can also be used for the pdf manual, but |
| % usually we provide a pdf version of the file for that. Picking the correct |
| % one is done by LaTeX automatically, but for checking the filename we need to |
| % specify the extension. |

| Gigabeat X, this pad will feel slightly raised up, while it will feel slightly |
| sunken in on the Gigabeat F. On the top of the unit, from left to right, are the |
| power socket, the \ButtonHold{} switch, and the headphone socket. The |
| \ButtonHold{} switch puts the \dap{} into hold mode when it is switched to the |
| right of the unit. The buttons will have no effect when this is the case. |
| |
| Starting from the left hand side on the bottom of the unit, nearer to the front |
| than the back, is a recessed switch which |
| controls whether the battery is on or off. When this switch is to the left, |
| the battery is disconnected. This can be used for a hard reset of the unit, |
| or if the \dap{} is being placed in storage. Next to that is a connector for |
| the docking station and finally on the right hand side of the bottom of the |

| \subsection{Putting music on your \dap{}} |
| |
| \opt{usb_hid}{ |
| \note{Due to a bug in some OS X versions, the \dap{} can not be mounted, unless |
| the USB HID feature is disabled. See \reference{ref:USB_HID} for more |
| information.\newline |
| } |
| } |
| |
| With the \dap{} connected to the computer as an MSC/UMS device (like a |
| USB Drive), music files can be put on the player via any standard file |
| transfer method that you would use to copy files between drives (e.g. Drag-and-Drop). |
| Files may be placed wherever you like on the \dap{}, but it is strongly |
| suggested \emph{NOT} to put them in the \fname{/.rockbox} folder and instead |
| put them in any other folder, e.g. \fname{/}, \fname{/music} or \fname{/audio}. |
| The default directory structure that is assumed by some parts of Rockbox |
| \opt{albumart}{% |
| (album art searching, and missing-tag fallback in some WPSes) uses the |
| parent directory of a song as the Album name, and the parent directory of |
| that folder as the Artist name. WPSes may display information incorrectly if |
| your files are not properly tagged, and you have your music organized in a |
| way different than they assume when attempting to guess the Artist and Album |
| names from your filetree. See \reference{ref:album_art} for the requirements |
| for Album Art to work properly. |

| \opt{swcodec}{ |
| See \reference{ref:Supportedaudioformats} for a list of supported audio |

| } |
| |
| \subsection{The first contact} |
| |
| After you have first started the \dap{}, you'll be presented by the |
| \setting{Main Menu}. From this menu you can reach every function of Rockbox, |
| for more information (see \reference{ref:main_menu}). To browse the files |
| on your \dap{}, select \setting{Files} (see \reference{ref:file_browser}), and to |
| browse in a view that is based on the meta-data\footnote{ID3 Tags, Vorbis |
| comments, etc.} of your audio files, select \setting{Database} (see |
| \reference{ref:database}). |
| |
| \subsection{Basic controls} |
| When browsing files and moving through menus you usually get a list view |
| presented. The navigation in these lists are usually the same and should be |
| pretty intuitive. |
| In the tree view use \ActionStdNext{} and \ActionStdPrev{} to move around |
| the selection. Use \ActionStdOk{} to select an item. \opt{wheel_acceleration}{ |
| Note that the scroll speed is accelerating the faster you rotate the wheel.} |
| When browsing the file system selecting an audio file plays it. The view |
| switches to the ``While playing screen'', usually abbreviated as ``WPS'' (see |
| \reference{ref:WPS}. The dynamic playlist gets replaced with the contents of |
| the current directory. This way you can easily treat directories as playlists. |
| The created dynamic playlist can be extended or modified while playing. This is |
| also known as ``on-the-fly playlist''. |
| To go back to the \setting{File Browser} stop the playback with the |
| \ActionWpsStop{} button or return to the file browser while keeping playback |
| running using \ActionWpsBrowse{}. |
| In list views you can go back one step with \ActionTreeParentDirectory. |
| |
| \subsection{Basic concepts} |
| \subsubsection{Playlists} |
| Rockbox is playlist oriented. This means that every time you play an audio file, |
| a so-called ``dynamic playlist'' is generated, unless you play a saved |
| playlist. You can modify the dynamic playlist while playing and also save |
| it to a file. If you do not want to use playlists you can simply play your |
| files directory based. |
| Playlists are covered in detail in \reference{ref:working_with_playlists}. |
| |
| \subsubsection{Menu} |
| From the menu you can customise Rockbox. Rockbox itself is very customisable. |
| Also there are some special menus for quick access to frequently used |
| functions. |
| |
| \subsubsection{Context Menu} |
| Some views, especially the file browser and the WPS have a context menu. |
| From the file browser this can be accessed with \ActionStdContext{}. |
| The contents of the context menu vary, depending on the situation it gets |
| called. The context menu itself presents you with some operations you can |
| perform with the currently highlighted file. In the file browser this is |
| the file (or directory) that is highlighted by the cursor. From the WPS this is |
| the currently playing file. Also there are some actions that do not apply |
| to the current file but refer to the screen from which the context menu |
| gets called. One example is the playback menu, which can be called using |
| the context menu from within the WPS. |
| |
| \section{Customising Rockbox} |
| Rockbox' User Interface can be customised using ``Themes''. Themes usually |
| only affect the visual appearance, but an advanced user can create a theme |
| that also changes various other settings like file view, LCD settings and |
| all other settings that can be modified using \fname{.cfg} files. This topic |
| is discussed in more detail in \reference{ref:manage_settings}. |
| The Rockbox distribution comes with some themes that should look nice on |
| your \dap{}. |
| |
| \opt{lcd_bitmap}{ |
| \note{Some of the themes shipped with Rockbox need additional |
| fonts from the fonts package, so make sure you installed them. |
| Also, if you downloaded additional themes from the Internet make sure you |
| have the needed fonts installed as otherwise the theme may not display |
| properly.} |

| \nopt{ondio}{ |
| \opt{usb_power}{ |
| \section{USB Charging} |
| To charge your \dap{} over USB, hold any button while plugging it |
| in. This will prevent it from connecting to your computer and let you |
| continue to use it normally. Your \dap{} must already be in Rockbox for this |
| to function. |
| \nopt{fuzeplus}{ |
| \note{Be aware that this button may still perform its normal function, so |
