+Recorder sound settings  Player sound settings  
+\par}
+
+This menu offers a selection of sound properties you may change to
+improve your sound experience.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Volume}
+
+The sound volume your music is played at. Although settable range is
+0{}-100\%, many units don't produce audible output
+below 40\%.  On Recorders, volume settings above 92\% will cause
+distortion (clipping) and are not recommended.
+
+\item \textbf{Bass}
+This emphasises or suppresses the lower
+(bass) sounds in the track.  0 means that bass sounds are unaltered
+(flat response).
+
+\item \textbf{Treble}
+This emphasises or suppresses the higher
+(treble) sounds in the track.  0 means that treble sounds are unaltered
+(flat response).
+
+\item \textbf{Balance}
+How much of the volume is generated by the left or right channel of the
+sound.  The default, 0, means that the left and right outputs are equal
+in volume.  Negative numbers increase the volume of the left channel
+relative to the right, positive numbers increase the volume of the
+right channel relative to the left.
+
+\item \textbf{Channels}
+
+This option controls the on{}-board mixing
+facilities of the Jukebox.  A stereo audio signal consists of two
+channels, left and right.  Available options are
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Mono Left: }Plays the left channel in both stereo channels.
+\item \textbf{Mono Right:} Plays the right channel in both stereo channels.
+\item \textbf{Mono:} Mix both channels down to mono and send the mixed signal
+back to both.
+\item \textbf{Stereo:} Do not mix the signal
+\item \textbf{Stereo Narrow: }Mixes small amounts of the opposite channel into
+the left and right channels, thus making the sound seem closer
+together.
+\item \textbf{Stereo Wide:} Elements of one channel that are present in the
+opposite channel are removed from the latter.  This results in the
+sound seeming further apart.
+\item \textbf{Karaoke:} Removes all sound that is the same in both channels. 
+Since most vocals are recorded in this way to make the artist sound
+central, this often (but not always) has the effect of removing the
+voice track from a song.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Loudness (Recorder only)}
+Loudness is an effect which emphasises bass and treble.  This makes the
+track seem louder by amplifying the frequencies that the human ear
+finds hard to hear.  Frequencies in the vocal range are unaffected,
+since the human ear picks these up very easily.
+
+\item \textbf{Auto Volume (Recorder only)}
+Auto volume is a feature that automatically lowers the volume on loud
+parts, and then slowly restores the volume to the previous level over a
+time interval. That time interval is configurable here.  Short values
+like 20ms are useful for ensuring a constant volume for in car use and
+other applications where background noise makes a constant loudness
+desirable.  A longer timeout means that the change in volume back to
+the previous level will be smoother, so there will be less sharp
+changes in volume level.
+
+\item \textbf{Super Bass (Recorder Only)}
+This setting changes the threshold at which bass frequencies are
+affected by the \textbf{Loudness} setting, making the sound of drums
+and bass guitar louder in comparison to the rest of the track.  This
+setting only has an effect if \textbf{Loudness} is set to a value
+larger than 0dB.
+
+\item \textbf{MDB {}- Micronas Dynamic Bass (Recorder Only)}
+The rest of the parameters on this menu relate to the Micronas Dynamic
+Bass (MDB) function.  This is designed to enable the user to hear bass
+notes that the headphones and/or speakers are not capable of
+reproducing.  Every tone has a fundamental frequency (the ``main tone'') and also several harmonics, which are related to that tone.  The human brain has a
+mechanism whereby it can actually infer the presence of bass notes from
+the higher harmonics that they would generate.\\
+
+The practical upshot of this is that MDB produces a more authentic
+sounding bass by tricking the brain in believing it's
+hearing tones that the headphones or speakers aren't
+capable of reproducing.  Try it and see what you think.\\
+
+The MDB parameters are as follows.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{MDB enable: } This turns the MDB feature on or off.  For many
+users this will be the only setting they need, since Rockbox picks
+sensible defaults for the other parameters.  MDB is turned off by
+default.
+\item \textbf{MDB strength:} How loud the harmonics generated by the MDB will
+be.
+\item \textbf{MDB Harmonics}: The percentage of the low notes that is
+converted into harmonics.  If low notes are causing speaker distortion,
+this can be set to 100\% to eliminate the fundamental completely and
+only produce harmonics in the signal.  If set to 0\% this is the same
+as turning the MDB feature off.
+\item \textbf{MDB Centre Frequency: }The cutoff frequency of your headphones or speakers.  This is usually given in the specification for the headphones/speakers.
+\item \textbf{MDB shape: }It is recommended that this parameter be set to 1.5
+times the centre frequency.\\
+
+This is the frequency up to which harmonics are generated.  Some of the
+lower fundamentals near the cut{}-off range
+will have their lower harmonics cut off, since they will be below the
+range of the speakers. Fundamentals between the
+cut{}-off frequency and the lower frequency will have their harmonics proportionally boosted to compensate and restore the 'loudness' of these
+notes.\\
+
+For most users, the defaults should provide an improvement in sound
+quality and can be safely left as they are.  For reference, the
+defaults Rockbox uses are:

+\par}
+
+\subsubsection{\label{ref:PlaybackOptions}Playback Options}
+This menu is for configuring settings related to MP3 playback
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Shuffle}
+Select shuffle ON/OFF. This alters how Rockbox will select which next
+song to play. 
+\item \textbf{Repeat}
+Repeat modes are Off/One/All. ``Off'' means no
+repeat. ``One'' means repeat one track over
+and over. ``All'' means repeat playlist/directory. 
+\item \item{Play Selected First }
+This setting controls what happens when you press PLAY on a file in a
+directory and shuffle mode is on. If this setting is Yes, the file you
+selected will be played first. If this setting is No, a random file in
+the directory will be played first. 
+\item \textbf{Resume}
+Sets whether Rockbox will resume playing at the point where you shut
+off. Options are: Ask/Yes/No/Ask once.
+``Ask'' means it will ask at boot time. ``Yes'' means it will unconditionally try to resume. ``No'' means it will not resume. ``Ask once'' will erase the resume info if you answer no, and thus not ask you again.
+\item \textbf{FFwd / Rewind}
+Two options are available at this point
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{FF/RW Min Step}
+The smallest step, in seconds, you want to fast forward or rewind in a
+track.
+\item \textbf{FF/RW Accel}
+How fast you want search (ffwd/rew) to accelerate when you hold
+down the button. ``Off'' means no acceleration. ``2x/1s'' means double the
+search speed once every second the button is held. ``2x/5s'' means double the search speed once every 5 seconds the button is held.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Anti{}-skip Buffer}
+This setting is really ``extra anti{}-skip''. It lets you set
+a timer for how many seconds earlier than normally necessary the disk
+should spin up and start reading data. You don't need
+this unless you shake and bump the unit a lot. Spinning up the disk
+earlier than necessary naturally drains the batteries a little extra. 
+Most users will not need this setting.
+
+\item \textbf{Fade on Stop/Pause}
+This setting enables and disables a fade effect when you pause
+or stop playing a song. Fade is a progressive increase or reduction of
+volume, from your set volume to 0, and vice versa.
+
+\item \textbf{ID3 tag priority}
+ID3 tags in an MP3 file contain information about the artist, title,
+album etc. of the track.  This option controls whether Rockbox uses the information from ID3v2 tags in preference to that from ID3v1 tags when both types of tag are present.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{File View}
+This menu deals with options relating to how the file browser displays
+files
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Sort Case Sensitive}
+If this option is enabled files that start with a
+lower case letter will appear after the files that start with an upper case letter have all been listed  If disabled, then case will be ignored when sorting files.
+\item \textbf{Sort Directories}
+This option controls how Rockbox sorts folders.  The default is to sort
+them alphabetically.  ``By date'' sorts them with the oldest folder
+first.  ``By newest date'' sorts them with the newest folder first.
+
+\item \textbf{Sort Files}
+This option controls how Rockbox sorts files.  In addition to the
+options for directory sorting above, there is a ``By type'' option
+which sorts files alphabetically by their type (such as .mp3) then
+alphabetically within each type.
+
+\item \textbf{\label{ref:ShowFiles}Show Files}
+Controls which files are displayed in the directory browser:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Music: }
+Only directories, .mp3, .mp2, .mpa and .m3u files
+are shown. Extensions are strippe'd. Files anddirectories starting with . Or with the ``hidden'' flag set are hidden.
+\item \textbf{Playlists:} 
+Only shows directories and playlists, for
+simplified navigation.
+\item \textbf{Supported:} 
+All directories and files Rockbox understands (see page \pageref{ref:Supportedfileformats}) are shown. Files and directories starting with . or with the
+``hidden'' flag set are hidden.
+\item \textbf{All:}
+All files and directories are shown. Extensions are shown. No files or
+directories arehidden
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Follow Playlist}
+If Follow Playlist is set to ``Yes'', you will find yourself in the same
+directory as the currently playing file if you go to the Directory
+Browser from the WPS. If set to ``No'', you will stay in the same directory as you were last in.
+
+\item \textbf{Show Icons}
+This indicates whether Rockbox will display an icon representing what
+type a file is on the left of the file in the browser.  For details of
+these icons, please see page \pageref{ref:Supportedfileformats}.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{\label{ref:Displayoptions}Display Options}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Browse fonts}
+Browse the fonts that reside in your \textbf{/.rockbox} directory.
+Selecting one will activate it.  See page \pageref{ref:Loadingfonts} for further details about fonts.
+
+\item \textbf{Browse WPS files}
+Opens the file browser in the \textbf{/.rockbox} directory and displays
+all .wps files. Selecting one will activate it, stop will exit back to
+the menu.\\
+
+For further information about the WPS see page \pageref{ref:WPS}. For
+information  about editing a .wps file see page \pageref{ref:ConfiguringtheWPS}.
+
+\item \textbf{LCD Settings}
+
+%\begin{itemize}
+This submenu contains settings that relate to the display of the
+Jukebox.
+\item \textbf{Backlight:} 
+How long the backlight shines after a key
+press. Set to OFF to never light it, set to ON to never shut it off or
+set a preferred timeout period.
+\item \textbf{Backlight on WhenPlugged:}
+This option turns the backlight on constantly while the charger cable is connected.
+\item \textbf{Caption Backlight:} This option turns the backlight on for
+25 seconds either side of the start of a new track so that the display
+can be read to see song information.
+\item \textbf{Contrast:} Changes the contrast of your LCD display.
+Warning: Setting the contrast too dark or too light can make it hard to
+find this menu option again!
+\item \textbf{LCD Mode} (Recorder only): This setting lets you invert
+the whole screen, so now you get a black background and green text
+graphics.
+\item \textbf{Upside Down: }Displays the screen so that the top of the
+display is nearest the buttons.  This is sometimes useful when carrying
+the Recorder in a pocket for easy access to the headphone socket.
+\item \textbf{Line Selector: }Select this option to have a bar of
+inverted text (``Bar'' option) mark the current line in the File
+Browser rather than the default arrow to the left (``Pointer'' option).
+ This gives slightly more room for filenames.
+%\end{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Scrolling}
+This feature controls how text will scroll in Rockbox. You can configure
+the following parameters:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Scroll Speed:} 
+Controls how many times per second the scrolling text moves a step.
+\item \textbf{Scroll StartDelay:} 
+Controls how many milliseconds Rockbox should wait before a new text begins scrolling.
+\item \textbf{Scroll Step Size:}
+Controls how many pixels the text scroll should move for each step. (Recorder/Ondio only)
+\item \textbf{Bidirectional Scroll Limit: }
+Rockbox has two different scroll methods,  always scrolling the text to the left, and when the line has ended, beginning again at the start, or moving to the
+left until you can read the end of the line, and scroll right until you
+see the beginning again. Rockbox chooses which method it should use,
+depending of how much it has to scroll left. This setting lets you tell
+Rockbox where that limit is, expressed in percentage of line length.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Status/Scrollbar (Recorder only)}
+Settings related to on screen status display and the scrollbar.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Scroll Bar: }Enables or disables the scroll bar at the
+left.
+\item \textbf{Status Bar: }Enables or disables the status bar
+at the upper side.
+\item \textbf{Button Bar:} Enables or disables the button bar prompts
+for the F keys at the bottom of the screen.
+\item \textbf{Volume Display:} Controls whether the volume is displayed
+as a graphic or a numerical percentage value on the Status Bar.
+\item \textbf{Battery Display: }Controls whether the battery charge
+status is displayed as a graphic or numerical percentage value on the
+Status Bar.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Peak Meter (Recorder only) }
+The peak meter can be configured with a number of parameters.  (For a description of the peak meter see page \pageref{ref:Peakmeter}.)
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Peak Release:}
+This determines how fast the bar shrinks when the music becomes softer.
+Lower values make the peak meter look smoother.
+\item \textbf{Peak Hold Time:} 
+Specifies the time after which the peak indicator will reset. If you set this value e.g. to 5s then the peak indicator displays the loudest volume value
+that occurred within the last 5 seconds. Big values are good if you
+want to find the peak level of a song, which might be of interest when
+copying music from the jukebox via the analogue output to some other
+recording device.
+\item \textbf{Clip Hold Time:}
+How long the clipping indicator will be visible after clipping was detected
+\item \textbf{Performance:}
+In high performance mode, the peak meter is updated as often as possible. This reduces the chance of missing a peak value, making the peak meter more precise. In energy save mode the peak meter is updated just often enough to look fluid.
+This reduces the load on the CPU and thus saves a little bit of energy. If you crave every second of runtime for your jukebox or simply use the peak meter as a screen effect, the use of energy save mode is recommended. If you want to use
+the peak meter as a measuring instrument you'll want to use high performance mode.
+\item \textbf{Scale:}
+Select whether the peak meter displays linear or logarithmic values. In
+``dB'' (decibel) scale the volume values are scaled logarithmically.
+This very similar to the perception of loudness. The volume meters of
+digital audio devices usually are scaled this way. If you are
+interested in the power level that is applied to your headphones you
+should choose ``linear'' display. Unfortunately this value
+doesn't have real units like volts or watts since that
+depends on the phones. So they can only be displayed as percentage
+values.
+\item \textbf{Minimum and maximum range:} These two options define the
+full value range that the peak meter displays. Recommended values for
+dbFs are {}-40 for min. and 0 for maximum. For linear display, use 0
+and 100\%. Note that {}-40 dbFs is approximately 1\% in linear value,
+but if you change the minimum setting in linear mode slightly and then change to dbFs there will be a large change. You can use these values for
+'zooming' into the peak meter.
+\end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsubsection{\label{ref:SystemOptions}System Options}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Battery}
+Options relating to the batteries in the Jukebox unit.  
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Battery Capacity} can be used to tell the Jukebox what
+capacity (in mAh) of battery is being used inside it.  The default is
+1500mAh for NiMH battery based units, and 2300mAh for LiOn battery
+based units, which is the capacity value for the standard batteries
+shipped with these units. This value is used for calculating remaining
+battery life.
+\item \textbf{Deep discharge (Non{}-FM recorder only)}
+Set this to ON if you intend to keep your charger connected for a long
+period of time. It lets the batteries go down to 10\% before starting
+to charge again. Setting this to OFF will cause the charging to restart
+on 95\%.
+\item \textbf{Trickle Charge (Non{}-FM recorder only)}
+The Jukebox cannot be turned off while the charger is connected.
+Therefore, trickle charge is needed to keep the batteries full after
+charging has completed. For more in depth information about charging
+see Battery FAQ in your \textbf{/.rockbox/docs }directory.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Disk}
+Options relating to the hard disk.  
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{DiskSpindown:}
+Rockbox has a timer that makes it spin down the hard disk after being idle for acertain time. You can modify this timeout here. This idle time is only
+affected by user activity, like navigating through file browser. When
+the hard disk spins up to fill mp3 buffer, it automatically spins down
+afterwards.
+\item \textbf{Disk Poweroff:}(non v2/FM{}-recorder only)
+Whether the disk is powered OFF or only set to ``sleep'' when spun
+down. Power off uses less power but takes longer to spin{}-up.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Time and Date (Recorder Only)}
+Time related menu options.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Set Time/Date: }
+Set current time and date.
+\item \textbf{Time Format: }
+Choose 12 or 24 Hour clock. 
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{\label{ref:idlepoweroff}Idle Poweroff}
+Rockbox can be configured to turn off power after the unit has been idle
+for a defined number of minutes. The unit is idle when playback is
+stopped or paused. It is not idle while the USB or charger is
+connected, or while recording.
+
+\item \textbf{Sleep Timer}
+This option lets you power off your jukebox after playing for a given
+time. This setting is reset on boot.  Using this option disables the
+\textbf{Wake up alarm} (see below).
+
+\item \textbf{Wake up alarm (Recorder v2/FM only)}
+This option turns the Jukebox off and then starts it up again at the
+specified time. This is most useful when combined with the Resume
+setting in the Playback options set to ``Yes'', so that the Jukebox
+wakes up and immediately  starts playing music. Use LEFT and RIGHT to
+adjust the minutes setting, UP and DOWN to adjust the HOURS.  PLAY
+confirms the alarm and shuts your Jukebox down, and STOP cancels
+setting an alarm.  If the Jukebox is turned on again before the alarm
+occurs the alarm will be canceled.  Using this option disables the \textbf{Sleep Timer} (see above).
+
+\item \textbf{Limits}
+This submenu relates to limits in the Rockbox operating system.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Max files in dir browser: }Configurable limit of files in
+the directory browser (file buffer size). You can configure the size to
+be between 50 and 10000 files in steps of 50 files. The default is 400,
+higher values will shorten the music buffer.\\
+
+Note: the device must be rebooted for settings to take effect! 
+\item \textbf{Max playlist size: }Option to configure the maximum size
+of a playlist. The playlist size can be between 1000 and 20000 files in
+steps of 1000.  By default it is 10000.  Higher values will shorten the
+music buffer.\\
+
+Note: the device must be rebooted for settings to take effect! 
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Car Adapter Mode}
+This option turns on and off the car ignition auto stop
+function. 
+
+When using the Jukebox in a car, car adapter mode automatically stops
+playback on the Jukebox when power (i.e. from cigarette lighter power
+adapter) to the external DC in jack is turned off. 
+
+When the external power off condition is detected, the Car Adapter Mode
+function only pauses the playback. In order to shut down the Jukebox
+completely the \textbf{Idle Poweroff} function (see above) must also be
+set.
+
+If power to the DC in jack is turned back on before the \textbf{Idle
+Poweroff}  function has shut the Jukebox off, playback will be resumed
+5 seconds after the power is applied. This delay is to allow for the
+time while the car engine is being started. Once the Jukebox is shut
+off either manually, or automatically with the \textbf{Idle Poweroff
+}function, it must be powered up manually to resume playback.
+
+\item \textbf{Line In (Player only)}
+This option activates the line in port on Jukebox Player, which
+is off by default.
+
+This is useful for such applications as:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Game boy {}-{\textgreater} Jukebox {}-{\textgreater} human
+\item laptop {}-{\textgreater} Jukebox {}-{\textgreater}human
+\item LAN party computer {}-{\textgreater} Jukebox {}-{\textgreater} human 
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Manage settings}
+This submenu deals with loading and saving settings.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Browse .cfg Files: }
+This displays a list of configuration
+(.cfg) files stored in the \textbf{/.rockbox} system directory.  This
+is useful if the Jukebox is plugged into more than one different output
+device (e.g. headphones, computer, car stereo, hi{}-fi) so that a settings file can be maintained for each.
+\item \textbf{Browse Firmwares:} This displays a list of firmware (.mod
+for Players and .ajz for Recorders) file in the \textbf{/.rockbox} system directory. Playing a firmware file loads it into memory.  Thus it is possible to
+run the original Archos firmware or a different version of Rockbox from
+here assuming that you have the right files installed on your disk.
+\item \textbf{Reset Settings: }This wipes the saved settings in the
+Jukebox and resets all settings to their default values.
+\item \textbf{Write .cfg file: }Saves the current settings into a .cfg
+file for later use with \textbf{Browse .cfg Files} above.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsubsection{\label{ref:Bookmarkconfigactual}Bookmarking}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Bookmark on Stop}
+Write a bookmark to the disk whenever the stop key is pressed.  If
+playback is stopped it can be resumed easily at a later time. The
+\textbf{Resume} function remembers your position in the most
+recently accessed track regardless of this setting.
+\item \textbf{Load Last Bookmark}
+When this is on, Rockbox automatically returns to the position of the
+last bookmark within a file when it is played.  If set to Ask, Rockbox
+will ask the user whether they want to start from the beginning or the
+bookmark.  When set to no, playback always starts from the beginning
+and the Bookmark file must be played or \textbf{Load Bookmark} selected
+from the \textbf{Bookmarks} submenu of the Main Menu while the file is
+playing.
+\item \textbf{Maintain a list of Recently Used Bookmarks}
+If this option is turned on, Rockbox will store a list of Bookmarks that
+have been accessed recently.  This is then accessible from the
+\textbf{Recent Bookmarks} option of the \textbf{Bookmarks} submenu of
+the Main Menu.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{\label{ref:Language}Language}
+This setting controls the language of the Rockbox user interface.
+Selecting  a language will activate it. The language files must be in
+the \textbf{/.rockbox/lang/} directory. 
+
+See page \pageref{ref:Loadinglanguages} for further details about
+languages.
+
+\subsection{Voice}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Voice Menus}
+This option turns on the Voice User Interface, which will read out menu items and settings as they are selected by the cursor.  In order for this to work, a voice file must be present in the \textbf{/.rockbox/lang/} directory on the recorder.  Voice files are large (1.5MB) and are not shipped with Rockbox by
+default.
+
+The voice file is the name of the language for which it is made,
+followed by the extension .voice.  So for English, the file name would
+be \textbf{english.voice}. 
+
+This option is on by default.  It will do nothing unless the appropriate
+.voice file is installed in the correct place on the Jukebox.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Limitations}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Setting the Sound Option \textbf{Channels} to ``karaoke'' may
+disable voice menus.  
+\item Plugins and the wake up alarm do not support voice features.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Voice Directories}
+This option turns on the speaking of directory names.  The Jukebox is
+not powerful enough to produce these voices in real time, so a number of options are available.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{.talk mp3 clip: }
+Use special pre{}-recorded MP3 files (\textbf{\_dirname.talk}) in each directory.  These must be generated in advance, and are typically produced synthetically using a text to speech engine on a PC.  If no such file exists, the output is as for the ``numbers'' option below.
+\item \textbf{Spell: }
+Speak the directory name by spelling it out letter
+by letter.  Support is provided only for the most common letters and
+punctuation.
+\item \textbf{Numbers: }
+Each directory is assigned a number based upon its position in the file list.  They are then announced as ``Directory 1'', ``Directory 2'' etc.
+\item \textbf{Off: }
+No attempt will be made to speak directory names.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\item \textbf{Voice Filenames}
+This option turns on the speaking of directory names.  The options
+provided are ``Spell'', ``Numbers'', and ``Off'' which function the same as for \textbf{Voice Directories} and ``.talk mp3 clip'', which functions as above except that the files are named with the same name as the music file (e.g. \textbf{Punkadiddle.mp3 } would require a file called \textbf{Punkadiddle.mp3.talk}).
