1 INTRODUCING THE MAIN MENU
Recorder main menu Player main menu
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. You can access the Rockbox
main menu by pressing MENU (player/studio version) or F1 (recorder version) key. All
options in Rockbox can be controlled via this menu. Some of them can also be found
in the Quick Menus (recorder version only).
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 do it when it spins up
the disk the next time, for example when refilling the MP3 buffer or navigating
through the file browser. This is important to know since if you change a config setting
and then immediately shut your unit down, the new configuration may not be saved.
The two settings menus are covered in detail starting on page 28. All the other
options on the main menu are explained here.
