Throughout this manual, the buttons on the Jukebox are labelled
according to the pictures above. There are minor cosmetic differences
between Jukebox models, but the buttons are in approximately the same
position as on the picture.\\
To turn on a Jukebox containing Rockbox, hold down the ON key
for 2{ } -3 seconds. (Flashed Jukeboxes only require a tap of the ON key
{ --} see page \textup { \pageref { ref:FlashingRockboxReal} } for more
information about flashing Rockbox.)
\label { ref:Safeshutdown} On shutdown, Rockbox automatically saves its settings and turns off the hard drive safely. To tell Rockbox to shut the Jukebox down, do the following:

\end { tabular}
\end { center}
\end { table}
2006-02-11 00:57:17 +00:00
In the unlikely event of a software failure, a hardware power off can be
performed by holding down STOP until the Jukebox power light goes off.
This works for all models of Jukebox.\\
For further details about connecting, charging and caring for your
Jukebox, please see the Archos manual that came with it.

Recorder file browser Player file browser
\par }
The file browser helps you navigate through the files on your Jukebox,
entering folders and executing the default action on each file. To help
us differentiate files, each file format is displayed with an icon. You
can select which file types are displayed (see page
\pageref { ref:ShowFiles} ).

Recorder file menu Player file menu
\par }
This menu operates on the file that was selected in the browser at the
time ON+PLAY was pressed to enter it. It can also be accessed by
holding down the PLAY key for a short while. It offers the following
options:
\begin { itemize}
\item \textbf { Open with:} Runs a viewer plugin on the file.
Normally the filetype of a file is detected and the appropriate plugin
is run automatically when you press play on it. Use this menu if for
some reason you want to override the default action and select a viewer
by hand. See page \textmd { \pageref { ref:Viewersplugins} } for more details on viewers.
For example, this would be used to run the VBRfix plugin to recreate the
Xing header for an MP3 file, which can fix problems such as
fast{ } -forward and rewind not working correctly on a particular MP3 file or the play time of a track being listed incorrectly.
\item \textbf { Playlist:} Change to the Playlist submenu (see below).
\item \textbf { Rename:} This function lets the user modify a file name.
\item \textbf { Delete:} Only files can be deleted, not folders. Rockbox will ask for confirmation before deleting a file. Press PLAY to confirm deletion or any other key to cancel.
\item \textbf { Delete Directory: } Deletes the folder pointed to by the cursor and all the files and folders contained in it. Use with caution.
\item \textbf { Create Directory:} Makes a new folder in the current folder on
the disk.
\end { itemize}
\subsection { \label { ref:Playlistsubmenu} Playlist Submenu}
If the playlist submenu is invoked on a directory, it will act on all the files within that directory. If invoked on a playlist it will act on all the files in that playlist. Otherwise it acts only on the current file.

Recorder playlist submenu Player playlist submenu
\par }
This menu provides the following options:
\begin { itemize}
\item \textbf { Insert:} Add track(s) to playlist. If no other tracks have been
inserted then the selected track will be added immediately after
current playing track, otherwise they will be added to end of insertion
list.
\item \textbf { Insert next: } Add track(s) immediately after current playing
track, no matter what else has been inserted.
\item \textbf { Insert last: } Add track(s) to end of playlist.
\item \textbf { Queue: } Queue is the same as Insert except queued
tracks are deleted immediately from the playlist after
they've been played. Also, queued tracks are not saved to the playlist file (see page \pageref { ref:playlistoptions} ).
\item \textbf { Queue next:} Queue track(s) immediately after current playing
track.
\item \textbf { Queue last: } Queue track(s) at end of playlist.
\end { itemize}
You can insert a track, directory or playlist even if nothing is
currently playing. In this case, a new playlist is created with only
the selected tracks and then play is started.
Note: The dynamic playlist is saved so resume will restore it exactly as
before shutdown. Stopped playlists can be resumed from File Browser by
pressing ON.

\section { \label { ref:WPS} \label { ref:PartIISectionWPS} While Playing
Screen}
The While Playing Screen (WPS) displays various pieces of information
about the currently playing MP3 file:
%
\opt { Rec} {
\begin { itemize}
\item Status bar: Battery level, charger status, volume, play mode, repeat
mode, shuffle mode and clock.
\item Scrolling path+filename of the current song.
\item The ID3 track name.
\item The ID3 album name.
\item The ID3 artist name.
\item Bit rate. VBR files display average bitrate and ``(avg)''
\item Elapsed and total time.
\item A slidebar progress meter representing where in the song you are.
\item Peak meter.
\end { itemize}
Notes:
\begin { itemize}
\item The number of lines shown depends on the size of the font used.
\item The peak meter is only visible if you turn off the status bar or if
using a small font that gives 8 or more display lines.
\end { itemize}
}

\opt { PS} {
\begin { itemize}
\item Playlist index/Playlist size: Artist { } - Title.

\subsection { Peak Meter}
The peak meter can be displayed on the While Playing Screen and consists
of several indicators. For a picture of the peak meter, please see the
While Recording Screen on page \pageref { ref:Whilerecordingscreen} .
\begin { itemize}
\item \textbf { The bar: } This is the wide horizontal bar. It represents the
current volume value.
\item \textbf { The peak indicator:} This is a little vertical line at the right
end of the bar. It indicates the peak volume value that occurred
recently.
\item \textbf { The clip indicator: } This is a little black block that is
displayed at the very right of the scale when an overflow occurs. It
usually doesn't show up during normal playback unless
you play an audio file that is distorted heavily. If you encounter
clipping while recording your recording will sound distorted. You
should lower the gain. Note that the clip detection is not very
precise. Clipping might occur without being indicated.
\item \textbf { The scale: } Between the indicators of the right and left channel
there are little dots. These dots represent important volume values. In
linear mode each dot is a 10\% mark. In dbfs mode the dots represent
the following values (from right to left): 0db, { } -3db, { } -6db, { } -9db,
{ } -12db, { } -18db, { } -24db, { } -30db, { } -40db, { } -50db, { } -60db.

Rockbox handles function buttons in a different way to the Archos
software. F1 is always bound to the menu function, while F2 and F3
enable two quick menus.
F2 displays some browse and play settings which are likely to be changed
frequently. This settings are Shuffle mode, Repeat mode and the Show
files options
Shuffle mode plays each track in the currently playing list in a random
order rather than in the order shown in the browser.
Repeat mode repeats either a single track (One) or the entire playlist
(All).
Show files determines what type files can be seen in the browser. This
can be just MP3 files and directories (Music), Playlists, MP3 files and directories (Playlists), any files that Rockbox supports (Supported) or all files on the disk (All).
See page \pageref { ref:PlaybackOptions} for more information about these
settings.

F3 controls frequently used display options.
Scroll bar turns the display of the Scroll bar on the left of the screen
on or off.
Status bar turns the status display at the top of the screen on or off.
Upside down inverts the screen so that the top of the display appears
nearest to the buttons. This is sometimes useful when storing the
Jukebox in a pocket. Key assignments swap over with the display
orientation where it is logical for them to do so.
