\chapter{\label{ref:rockbox_interface}Quick Start}
\section{Basic Overview}
\subsection{The \daps{} controls}
% 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.
\begin{center}
\IfFileExists{rockbox_interface/images/\specimg-front.png}
{\Ifpdfoutput{\includegraphics[height=8cm,width=10cm,keepaspectratio=true]%
{rockbox_interface/images/\specimg-front}}
{\includegraphics{rockbox_interface/images/\specimg-front}}

{\color{red}{\textbf{WARNING!} Image not found}%
\typeout{Warning: missing front image}

\opt{HAVEREMOTEKEYMAP}{

\begin{center}
\IfFileExists{rockbox_interface/images/\specimg-remote.png}

Throughout this manual, the buttons on the \dap{} are labelled according to the
picture above.
\opt{erosqnative}{
\note{The \dap{} has two outputs: Headphone output on the left and Line output on the right.
Due to the circuitry which does detection, it is recommended to only use headphones plugged
into the Headphone output and devices which take Line input into the Line output. If devices
which take a Line input are plugged into the Headphone output, it is likely that the \dap{}
will not detect the plug and no sound will result.
In the other direction, headphones plugged into the Line output may damage the headphones (and
your ears!) due to the extremely loud volume.
Note that the volume of the Line output is set by the \setting{Volume Limit} if it needs to
be reduced.}
}
\opt{touchscreen}{
The areas of the touchscreen in the 3$\times$3 grid mode are in turn referred as follows:
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
\TouchTopLeft & \TouchTopMiddle & \TouchTopRight \\ [5ex]
\hline
\TouchMidLeft & \TouchCenter & \TouchMidRight \\ [5ex]
\hline
\TouchBottomLeft & \TouchBottomMiddle & \TouchBottomRight \\ [5ex]
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
}%
Whenever a button name is prefixed by ``Long'', a long press of approximately
one second should be performed on that button. The buttons are described in
detail in the following paragraph.
\blind{%
Additional information for blind users is available on the Rockbox website at
\wikilink{BlindFAQ}.

\opt{iriverh100}{
Hold or lay the \dap{} so that the side with the joystick and LCD is facing
towards you, and the curved side is at the top. The joystick functions as
the \ButtonUp{}, \ButtonRight{}, \ButtonLeft{}, and \ButtonDown{} buttons when
pressed in the appropriate direction. Pressing the joystick down functions as
\ButtonSelect{}.
On the right side of the \dap{} are the \ButtonOn{}, \ButtonOff{},
\ButtonMode{} buttons, and the \ButtonHold{} switch. When this switch is
switched towards the bottom of the \dap{}, hold is on, and none of the other
buttons have any effect.
On the left side is the \ButtonRec{} button. Above that is the internal microphone.
On the top panel of the \dap{}, from left to right, you can find the
following: headphone mini jack plug, remote port, Optical line-in, Optical line-out.
On the bottom panel of the \dap{}, from left to right, you can find the
following: power jack, reset switch, and USB port. In the event that your
\dap{} hard locks, you can reset it by inserting a paper clip into the hole
where the reset switch is.}
%
\opt{iriverh300}{

switched towards the bottom of the \dap{}, hold is on, and none of the other
buttons have any effect.
On the bottom panel of the \dap{}, from left to right, you can find the
following: power jack and two USB ports. The USB port on the right is used
to connect your \dap{} to your computer. The USB port on the left is not
used in Rockbox.
}

\opt{mpiohd200}{
Hold or lay the \dap{} so that the side with the LCD is facing towards you.
On the right hand side there is a rocker switch at the top which serves as
\ButtonRew{} and \ButtonFF{} when rocked up or down, respectively.
Pressing the rocker in functions as the \ButtonFunc{} button. Below the rocker
there are the \ButtonRec{} and \ButtonPlay{} buttons. At the bottom of the
right panel there is the \ButtonHold{} switch. When this is switched towards the
bottom of the \dap{}. hold is on, and none of the other buttons have any effect.

\opt{ipod4g,ipodcolor,ipodvideo,ipodmini}{
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
right:
\opt{ipod4g,ipodcolor}{remote connector, headphone socket, \ButtonHold{}
switch.}
\opt{ipodvideo}{\ButtonHold{} switch, headphone socket.}
\opt{ipodmini}{\ButtonHold{} switch, remote connector, headphone socket.}
The dock connector that is used to connect your \dap{} to your computer is on
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
\ButtonHold{} is off before trying to use your player.

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 \ButtonHold{} is
off before trying to use your player.

\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.

\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{}.
\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.}

\section{USB Charging}
Your \dap{} will automatically charge when connected to USB. By default
Rockbox will connect in mass storage mode to transfer files, but you can
prevent this by holding down any button while plugging in the USB cable,
or by changing the \setting{USB Mode} setting to \setting{Charge Only}.
\nopt{fuzeplus}{
\note{Be aware that holding a button may still perform its normal function,
so it is recommended to use a button without harmful side effects, such as
\ActionStdUsbCharge{}.}
