| |
| \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{backlight_fade_int}{ |
| \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}. |
| } |
| \opt{backlight_fade_bool}{ |
| \item[Backlight Fade In.] |
| This options turns on smooth backlight fading when the backlight is |
| turning on. The fading time is dependent on the brightness level you |
| have chosen. If it is turned off, the backlight will turn on immediately. |
| \item[Backlight Fade Out.] |
| This options turns on smooth backlight fading when the backlight is |
| turning off. The fading time is dependent on the brightness level you |
| have chosen. If it is turned off, the backlight will turn off immediately. |
| } |
| \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. |
| |
| \item[\label{ref:selectivebacklight}Backlight Exemptions] |
| This option allows some selected actions in While Playing Screen and |
| FM screen to \emph{not} turn on the backlight in order to save power. |
| \begin{description} |
| \item[Enabled.] |
| Enables/disables the feature. |
| |
| \item[Settings.] |
| Allows to select actions that will \emph{not} activate backlight. |
| \begin{itemize} |
| \item[Volume.] |
| Volume up/down. |
| \item[Play.] |
| Toggling Play/Pause. |
| \item[Seek.] |
| Seeking in a track. |
| \item[Skip.] |
| Skipping of a track. |
| \item[Disable Unmapped Keys.] |
| Buttons that have no action assigned and accidental button |
| combinations don't turn on backlight. |
| \item[Disable on External Power.] |
| When plugged goes back to regular behavior. |
| \end{itemize} |
| Selected actions are indicated by a leading +. |
| Note: If all options get de-selected, the entire feature is disabled. |
| \end{description} |

| |
| \opt{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 battery power but turning on the display takes noticeably longer |
| than just turning on the backlight. |
| } |
| |
| \opt{backlight_brightness}{ |
| \item[Brightness.] |
| Changes the brightness of your LCD display. |
| } |
| } % \opt{HAVE_BACKLIGHT} |
| |
| \opt{lcd_contrast}{ |
| \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{lcd_invert}{ |
| \item[LCD Mode.] |
| This setting lets you invert the colours of the display. |
| } |
| |
| \opt{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{remote}{ |
| \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{remote_ticking}{ |
| \item[Reduce Ticking.] |
| Enable this option if you can hear a ticking sound in your headphones |
| when using your remote. |
| } |
| \end{description} |

| \item[Scrolling.] |
| This feature controls how text will scroll in Rockbox. You can configure |
| the following parameters: |
| \begin{description} |
| \item[Scroll Speed.] |
| Sets how many times per second the automatic horizontal scrolling text |
| will move a step. |
| \item[Scroll Start Delay.] |
| Controls how many milliseconds Rockbox should wait before a new |
| text begins automatically scrolling. |
| \opt{lcd_bitmap}{ |
| \item[Scroll Step Size.] |
| Defines the number of pixels the text should move for each step, as used |
| by the Scroll Speed setting. |
| } |
| \opt{remote}{ |
| \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 automatic horizontal scrolling methods: 1) always |
| scrolling the text to the left until the line has ended and then beginning |
| again at the start, and 2) moving to the left until you can read the end of |
| the line and then scrolling right until you see the beginning again. |
| Rockbox chooses which method it should use depending of how much it has to |
| scroll to the left. This setting lets you tell Rockbox where that limit |
| is, expressed in percentage of the line length. |
| \opt{lcd_bitmap}{ |
| \item[Screen Scrolls Out of View.] |
| Screens can be manually scrolled horizontally by pressing |
| \opt{RECORDER_PAD}{\ButtonOn+\ButtonRight/\ButtonLeft}% |
| \opt{ONDIO_PAD}{\ButtonMenu+\ButtonRight/\ButtonLeft}% |
| \opt{IRIVER_H10_PAD}{Long \ButtonRew/\ButtonFF}% |
| \nopt{RECORDER_PAD,ONDIO_PAD,IRIVER_H10_PAD,MPIO_HD200_PAD,MPIO_HD300_PAD% |
| ,touchscreen}{% |
| Long \ButtonRight/\ButtonLeft}. |
| Setting this option to \setting{Yes} |
| will keep the list entries at their fixed positions and allow them to be |
| scrolled out of view, whereas \setting{No} will only scroll those entries |
| which surpass the right margin. |
| \item[Screen Scroll Step Size.] |
| Defines the number of pixels the horizontal manual screen scroll should move |
| for each step. |
| } |
| \item[Paged Scrolling.] |
| When set to \setting{Yes} scrolling vertically on pages that surpass the |
| screen size will page up/down instead of simply changing lines. This can be |
| useful on slow displays. |
| \nopt{scrollwheel}{ |
| \item[List Acceleration Start Delay.] |
| This setting enables the acceleration of scroll speed in lists when |
| holding \ActionStdPrev{} or \ActionStdNext{}. When set to |
| \setting{Off} the acceleration is disabled. When any other value is set |
| the acceleration will start to accelerate after holding |
| \ActionStdPrev{} or \ActionStdNext{} for the chosen time (in |
| seconds). |
| \item[List Acceleration Speed.] |
| This setting controls how fast the scroll speed accelerates. The scroll |
| speed will increase every N seconds. For example, selecting |
| \setting{Speed up every 3s} will increase the scroll speed every 3 |
| seconds while \ActionStdPrev{} or \ActionStdNext{} is held. |
| } |

| \opt{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 10~ms. |
| \item[Peak Hold Time.] |
| Specifies the time after which the peak indicator will reset. |
| For example, if you set this value to 5~s, 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{recording}{ |
| \item[Clip Counter.] |
| Show the number of times the clip indicator went active during |
| recording in front of the peak meters. |
| } |
| \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[\label{ref:Defaultcodepage}Default Codepage.] |
| A codepage describes the way extended characters that are not available |
| within the ASCII character set are encoded. ID3v1 tags do not 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 are getting garbled extended characters |
| you should adjust this settings. In most cases sticking to |
| ``ISO-8859-1'' would be sufficient. |
