+\chapter{Getting started}
+\newpage
+\section{Welcome}
+This is the manual for Rockbox.  Rockbox is a replacement firmware for the
+Jukebox Studio, Recorder and Ondio players made by Archos, the H120/140
+players from iRiver and the Apple iPod Nano etc.  It is a complete rewrite of
+the software used to make the PDA play and record music, and contains many
+features and enhancements not available in the original firmware supplied by
+the manufacturer.  Among the things that Rockbox has to offer are the
+following:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Faster loading than the \playername firmware
+\item Uninterrupted playing of MP3 files {--} skipping is very rare
+\item More control over how your music is played
+\item Built in viewers for several common file types
+\item Sophisticated plugin system that allows the Jukebox to run games,
+a calendar, a clock, and many other applications.
+\item Totally removable. (Removal of Rockbox before returning the
+Jukebox for repair under warranty is advised.)
+\item Optional voice user interface for complete control without looking
+at the screen
+\end{itemize}
+Rockbox is a complete from scratch rewrite of the \playername software and
+uses no fragments of the original firmware.  Not only is it free to
+use, it's also released under the GNU public license,
+which means that it will always remain free to both use and to change.
+
+\opt{OndioSP,OndioFM}{Although Rockbox also runs on the Archos Ondio series of
+flash based MP3 players,  this is a recent development, which is not covered
+fully in this manual.  Most of this manual will, however, apply equally to
+Rockbox on the Ondio Jukeboxes.  For more details on the Ondio port, please
+see the web page:
+\url{http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ArchosOndio}.}
+
+\section{Getting more help}
+
+This manual is intended to be a comprehensive introduction to the Rockbox
+software.  There is, however, more help available.  The Rockbox website at
+\url{http://www.rockbox.org/}contains very extensive documentation and guides
+written by members of the Rockbox community and this should be your first port
+of call when looking for further help.
+
+\opt{Archos}{\input{chapter1/archos_choice}}
+
+
+\section{Downloading Rockbox}
+
+The latest release of the Rockbox software will always be available from
+\url{http://www.rockbox.org/download/}.
+ Windows users may wish to download the self{}-extracting Windows
+installer, which works for all Jukebox models, but those wishing to
+install manually or using a different operating system should choose
+the .zip archive containing the firmware for their model of the
+Jukebox.
+
+\section{Installing Rockbox}
+
+Using the Windows self installing executable to install Rockbox is the easiest
+method of installing the software on your Jukebox.  Simply follow the
+on{}-screen instructions and select the appropriate drive letter and Jukebox
+model when prompted.  You can use ``Add / Remove Programs'' to uninstall the
+software at a later date.
+
+For non{}-Windows users and those wishing to install manually from the archive
+the procedure is still fairly simple.  Connect your \playername to the computer
+via USB as described in the manual that came with your \playername. On Windows,
+the \playername drive will appear as a drive letter in your ``My Computer''
+folder. Take the file that you downloaded above, and unpack its contents to
+your \playername drive. You can do this using a program such as
+\url{http://www.info-zip.org/} or \url{http://www.winzip.org/}. 
+
+You will need to unpack all of the files in the archive onto your hard
+disk. If this has been done correctly, you will have a file called
+\opt{PS}{\fname{archos.mod}}
+\opt{Rec,Rec2,FMRec}{\fname{ajbrec.ajz}}
+\opt{H120,H340}{\fname{rockbox.iriver}}
+in the main folder of your \playername drive, and also a folder called
+/\fname{.rockbox}, which contains a number of system files used by the
+software.
+
+\section{Enabling Speech Support (optional)}
+
+If you wish to use speech support you will also need a language file,
+available from
+\url{http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VoiceFiles/}.
+ For the English language, the file is called \fname{english.voice}.
+When it has been downloaded, unpack this file and copy it into the
+\fname{lang} folder which is inside the /\fname{.rockbox} folder on
+your Jukebox. Voice menus are turned on by default.  See page
+\pageref{ref:Voiceconfiguration} for details on voice settings.
+
+
+\section{Running Rockbox}
+
+Remove your Jukebox from the computer's USB port.
+Unplug any connected power supply and turn the unit off. When you next
+turn the unit on, the Jukebox firmware will start to load, and then it
+will load Rockbox for you. When you see the Rockbox splash screen,
+Rockbox is loaded and ready for use. 
+
+\section{Uninstalling Rockbox}
+
+If you would like to go back to using the
+original \playername software, then connect the \playername up to your computer,
+and delete the 
+\opt{PS}{\fname{archos.mod}}
+\opt{Rec,Rec2,FMRec}{\fname{ajbrec.ajz}}
+\opt{H120,H340}{\fname{rockbox.iriver}}
+If you wish to clean up your disk, you may also wish to delete the
+\fname{.rockbox} folder and its contents. Turn the \playername off and on and
+the normal \playername software will load.
