+    screen}{}
+
+  Entering the \setting{Recording} option in the \setting{Main Menu} brings up
+  a screen in wich you can choose to enter the \setting{Recording Screen} or
+  the \setting{Recording Settings} (see below). The \setting{Recording Screen}
+  shows the time elapsed and the size of the file being recorded. A peak meter
+  is present to allow you set Gain correctly. There is also a volume setting,
+  this will only affect the output level of the \dap\ and does \emph{not}
+  affect the recorded sound.
+  \opt{MASCODEC}{The frequency, channels and quality}
+  \opt{SWCODEC}{The frequency and channels} settings are shown on the last line.
+  
+  The controls for this screen are:

+    \item[Quality:]
+      Choose the quality here (0 to 7). Default is 5, best quality is 7,
+      smallest file size is 0. This setting effects how much your sound
+      sample will be compressed. Higher quality settings result in larger
+      MP3 files.
+      
+      The quality setting is just a way of selecting an average bit rate,
+      or number of  bits per second, for a recording.  When  this setting
+      is lowered, recordings are compressed more (meaning worse sound quality),
+      and the average bitrate changes as follows.

+    \opt{MASCODEC,x5}{
+    \item[Frequency:]
+      Choose the recording frequency (sample rate) -- 48kHz, 44.1kHz, 32kHz and
+      24kHz, 22.05kHz, 16kHz are available. Higher sample rates use up more disk
+      space, but give better sound quality.
+      This setting determines which frequency range can accurately be reproduced
+      during playback, Lower frequencies produce smaller files.
+      \opt{MASCODEC}{
+        The frequency setting also determines which version of the MPEG standard
+        the sound is recorded using:\\
+        MPEG v1 for 48, 44.1 and 32\\
+        MPEG v2 for 24, 22.05 and 16\\
+      }
+  }
+  \item[Source:]
+    Choose the source of the recording. This can be
+    \opt{recorder,recorderv2fm,h1xx}{SPDIF (digital),} microphone or line in.
+    \opt{CONFIG_TUNER}{For recording from the radio see page \pageref{ref:FMradio}.}
+    
+    % Add h1xx here whenever it supports setting recording frequency.
+    \opt{recorder,recorderv2fm}
+        {\note{You cannot change the sample rate for digital recordings.}}
+
+  \opt{MASCODEC,x5}{
+    \item[Channels:]
+      This allows you to select mono or stereo recording. Please note that
+      for mono recording, only the left channel is recorded.  Mono recordings
+      are usually somewhat smaller than stereo.
+  }
+
+  \opt{MASCODEC}{
+    \item[Independent Frames:]
+      The independent frames option tells the \dap\ to encode with the bit
+      reservoir disabled, so the frames are independent of each other. This
+      makes a file easier to edit.
+  }
+
+  \item[Time Split:]
+    This option is useful when timing recordings. If set to active it stops
+    a recording at a given interval and then starts recording again with a
+    new file, which is useful for long term recordings.
+    \newline
+    The splits are seamless (frame accurate), no audio is lost at the split
+    point. The break between recordings is only the time required to stop
+    and restart the recording, on the order of 2 -- 4 seconds.
+    \newline
+    Options (hours:minutes between splits): off, 24:00, 18:00, 12:00, 10:00,
+    8:00, 6:00, 4:00, 2:00, 1:20 (80 minute CD), 1:14 (74 minute  CD), 1:00,
+    00:30, 00:15, 00:10, 00:05.
+    
+  \item[Prerecord Time:]
+    This setting buffers a small amount of audio so that when the record button
+    is pressed, the recording will begin from that number of seconds earlier.
+    This is useful for ensuring that a recording begins before a cue that is
+    being waited for.\\
+    Options: \setting{Off}, \setting{1 -- 30 seconds}
+    
+  \item[Directory:]
+    Allows changing the location where the recorded files are saved. The
+    default location is \fname{/recordings}.
+    
+  \item[Show recording screen on startup:]
+    If set to yes, the \dap\ will start up with the while recording screen
+    showing.\\
+    Options: \setting{Yes}, \setting{No}
+    
+  \item[Clipping Light:]
+    Causes the backlight to flash on when clipping has been detected.\\
+    Options: \setting{Off}, \setting{Remote unit only},
+      \setting{Main and remote unit}, \setting{Main unit only}.
+    
+  \opt{MASCODEC}{
+    \item[Trigger:]
