\item[LCD Settings:]
This submenu contains settings that relate to the display of the \dap.
\begin{description}
- \item[Backlight:]
- The amount of time the backlight shines after a key press. If set to
- ``Off'', the backlight will not light when a button is pressed. If
- set to ``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 on When Plugged:]
- This setting is equivalent to the Backlight setting except it applies 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.
- \opt{h1xx,ipodnano,ipodcolour,ipodvideo}{
- \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 ``Off'' the backlight will turn on
- immediately, with no fade in. Can also be set to 500ms, 1s or 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 ``Off'' the backlight will turn off immediately, with no fade
- out. Other valid values: 500ms, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s or 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.
