Throughout this manual, the buttons on the \dap{} are labelled according to the
|
|
picture above. When a table of button actions says ``Long'' before the button it
|
|
means that you should make a long press on that button, in other words, press it
|
|
for approximately 1 second. In detail the buttons are described in the following
|
|
paragraph.

If you lay the \dap{} on the table with the joystick pointing
|
|
towards you, and the curved sides at the top, you will find the following
|
|
if you start from the top-right corner and follow the side of the \dap{} in a
|
|
clockwise direction:
|
|
On the right side the buttons \ButtonOn{}, \ButtonOff{}, \ButtonMode{} and
|
|
the \ButtonHold{} switch. Next comes on the bottom the USB port,
|
|
a small hole for resetting the \dap{}, charger plug. On the left side located
|
|
is the button \ButtonRec{}. At least the top has headphone mini-jack plug,
|
|
remote port, optical/line in and optical/line out.
|
|
The joystick in the middle of the \dap{} is
|
|
used to navigate menus by pressing it up, down, left and right. Pressing the
|
|
joystick down is labelled \ButtonSelect{} throughout this manual. Its
|
|
directions are labelled \ButtonRight{}, \ButtonDown{}, \ButtonLeft{} and
|
|
\ButtonUp{}.
|
|
|
|
The internal microphone is located on the left hand side of the nit towards the
|
|
top, and there is a small reset hole on the bottom of the unit between the
|
|
power and USB sockets. To perform a hard reset, insert a paperclip into this
|
|
hole.}

|
|
left corner: \ButtonOn{}, bottom left corner: \ButtonOff{}, top right corner:
|
|
\ButtonRec, bottom right corner: \ButtonMode{}. In the center of the button pad
|
|
is a button labelled \ButtonSelect{}. Surrounding the \ButtonSelect{} button are
|
|
four directional buttons used to navigate up, down, left and right.
|
|
|
|
On the top panel of the \dap{}, from left to right, you can find the
|
|
following: headphone mini jack plug, remote port, Line-in, Line-out.

The main controls on the \dap{} are a slightly indented scroll wheel
|
|
with a flat round button in the center. Hold the \dap{} with these controls
|
|
facing you.
|
|
|
|
The top of the player will have the following, from left to

|
the bottom panel of the \dap{}.
|
|
|
|
The button in the middle of the wheel is called \ButtonSelect{}. You can
|
|
operate the wheel by pressing the top, bottom, left or right sections,
|
|
or by sliding your finger around it. The top is \ButtonMenu{}, the bottom is
|
|
\ButtonPlay{}, the left is \ButtonLeft{}, and the right is \ButtonRight{}.
|
|
When the manual says to \ButtonScrollFwd{}, it means to slide your finger
|
|
clockwise around the wheel. \ButtonScrollBack{} means to slide your finger
|
|
counterclockwise. Note that the wheel is sensitive, so you will need to move
|
|
slowly at first and get a feel for how it works.
|
|
|
|
Note that when the \ButtonHold{} switch is pushed toward the center of the \dap{},
|
|
hold is on, and none of the other controls do anything. Be sure
|
|

{
|
|
Rockbox has a dual-boot feature. To boot into the original firmware, shut
|
|
down the device as described above. Turn on the \ButtonHold{} switch
|
|
immediately after turning the player on. Once Rockbox displays the
|
|
message ``Loading original firmware ...'' you may turn the \ButtonHold{}
|
|
switch off. Rockbox will boot into the original firmware.
|
|
|
|
\note{The described method of dual-booting works with Rockbox bootloader
|
|
version 2, which was released 16 December 2006. If you have the older
|
|
bootloader, boot the original firmware by pressing \ButtonMenu{}
|
|

\subsection{Putting music on your \dap{}}
|
|
|
|
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 'n' Drop).
|
|
The default directory structure that is assumed by some parts of Rockbox
|
|
(album art searching, WPS missing-tag fallback) is: /ArtistName/AlbumName/*.ext.
|
|
|
|
\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 you \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. 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{}. \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 get displayed
|
|
garbled.}
