This is the screen from which the rest of the Rockbox functions can be accessed. It is used for a variety of functions, which are detailed below. All options in Rockbox can be controlled via this menu.
This is the screen from which the rest of the Rockbox functions can be

All options in Rockbox can be controlled via this menu.
All settings are persistently stored on the unit. However, Rockbox does not spin up the disk solely for the purpose of saving settings, but instead will save them when it spins up the disk the next time, for example when refilling the MP3 buffer or navigating through the file browser. Changes to settings may therefore not be saved unless the \dap\ is shut down safely (see page \pageref{ref:Safeshutdown}).

\section{General Settings}
The General Settings menu allows you to customize the way Rockbox looks and
the way it plays music. The details of this menu are covered in detail
starting on page \pageref{ref:configure_rockbox_general}.
\subsubsection{\label{ref:Recordingsettings}Recording Settings}
\opt{MASCODEC}{
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Quality}
Choose the quality here (0 to 7). Default is 5, best quality is 7, smallest file size is 0. This setting effects how much your sound sample will be compressed. Higher quality settings result in larger MP3 files.
The quality setting is just a way of selecting an average bit rate, or number of bits per second, for a recording. When this setting is lowered, recordings are compressed more (meaning worse sound quality), and the average bitrate changes as follows.
\end{itemize}
\begin{table}[h!]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{lX}\toprule
\textbf{Frequency} & \textbf{Bitrate} (Kbit/s) {}- quality 0{}-{\textgreater}7 \\\midrule
44100Hz stereo & 75, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, 170 \\
22050Hz stereo & 39, 41, 45, 50, 60, 80, 110, 130 \\
44100Hz mono & 65, 68, 73, 80, 90, 105, 125, 140 \\
22050Hz mono & 35, 38, 40, 45, 50, 60, 75, 90 \\\bottomrule
\end{tabularx}
\end{center}
\end{table}
}
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Frequency}
Choose the recording frequency (sample rate) {}- 48kHz, 44.1kHz, 32kHz (MPEG version 1), and 24kHz, 22.05kHz, 16kHz (MPEG version 2) are available. Higher sample rates use up more disk space, but give better sound quality. This setting determines which frequency range can accurately be reproduced during playback. Lower frequencies produce smaller files, for two reasons. The amount of data to be compressed is smaller and the data is easier to compress, since higher frequencies are not present. \opt{MASCODEC}{The frequency setting also determines which version of the MPEG standard sound is recorded using.}
\item \textbf{Source}
Choose the source of the recording. This can be microphone, line in, or SPDIF (digital). \opt{CONFIG_TUNER}{For recording from the radio on the FM recorder, see page \pageref{ref:FMradio}.}
Note: you cannot change the sample rate for digital recordings.
\item \textbf{Channels}
This allows you to select mono or stereo recording. Please note that for mono recording, only the left channel is recorded. Mono recordings are usually somewhat smaller than stereo.
\item \textbf{Independent Frames}
The independent frames option tells the \dap to encode with the bit reservoir disabled, so the frames are independent of each other. This makes a file easier to edit.
\item \textbf{Time Split}
This option is useful when timing recordings. If set to active it stops a recording at a given interval and then starts recording again with a new file., which is useful for long term recordings.
The splits are seamless (frame accurate), no audio is lost at the split point. The break between recordings is only the time required to stop and restart the recording, on the order of 2{}-4 seconds.
Options (hours:minutes between splits): off, 24:00, 18:00, 12:00, 10:00, 8:00, 6:00, 4:00, 2:00, 1:20 (80 minute CD), 1:14 (74 minute CD), 1:00, 00:30, 00:15, 00:10, 00:05.
\item \textbf{Prerecord Time}
This setting buffers a small amount of audio so that when the record button is pressed, the recording will begin from that number of seconds earlier. This is useful for ensuring that a recording begins before a cue that is being waited for.\\
Options: Off, 1{}-30 seconds\\
\item \textbf{Directory}
Allows changing the location where the recorded files are saved.\\
\item \textbf{Show recording screen on startup}
If set to yes, the \dap\ will start up with the while recording screen showing\\
Options: Yes, No\\
\item \textbf{Clipping Light}

Options: Off, Remote unit only,Main and remote unit, Main unit only\\
