it has to scroll to the left. This setting lets you tell Rockbox where that limit
is, expressed in percentage of the line length.
Screen Scrolls Out of View.
Screens can be manually scrolled horizontally by
pressing
Mode
+
Right
/
Left
. Setting this option to
Yes
will keep the list
entries at their fixed positions and allow them to be scrolled out of view,
whereas
No
will only scroll those entries which surpass the right margin.
Screen Scroll Step Size.
Defines the number of pixels the horizontal manual screen
scroll should move for each step.
Paged Scrolling.
When set to
Yes
scrolling vertically on pages that surpass the
screen size will page up/down instead of simply changing lines. This can be
useful on slow displays.
List Acceleration Start Delay.
This setting enables the acceleration of scroll speed
in lists when holding
Up
or
Down
. When set to
Off
the acceleration is
disabled. When any other value is set the acceleration will start to accelerate
after holding
Up
or
Down
for the chosen time (in seconds).
List Acceleration Speed.
This setting controls how fast the scroll speed acceler-
ates. The scroll speed will increase every N seconds. For example, selecting
Speed up every 3s
will increase the scroll speed every 3 seconds while
Up
or
Down
is held.
Peak Meter.
The peak meter can be configured with a number of parameters.
Peak Release.
This determines how fast the bar shrinks when the music becomes
softer. Lower values make the peak meter look smoother. Expressed in scale
units per 10 ms.
Peak Hold Time.
Specifies the time after which the peak indicator will reset. For
example, if you set this value to 5 s, the peak indicator displays the loudest
volume value that occurred within the last 5 seconds. Larger values are useful
if you want to find the peak level of a song, which might be of interest when
copying music from the player via the analogue output to some other recording
device.
Clip Hold Time.
The number of seconds that the clipping indicator will be visible
after clipping is detected.
Scale.
Select whether the peak meter displays linear or logarithmic values. The
human ear perceives loudness on a logarithmic scale. If the Scale setting is
set to
Logarithmic
(dB) scale, the volume values are scaled logarithmically.
The volume meters of digital audio devices usually are scaled this way. On
the other hand, if you are interested in the power level that is applied to
your headphones you should choose
Linear
display.
This setting cannot
be displayed in units like volts or watts because such units depend on your
headphones.
