The judge, Anthony Leonard QC, adjourned the case to a trial starting on 1 September.
In a nine-minute statement outside court, that the former DJ said was being delivered against the advice of his legal team, Mr Travis told journalists he had lost respect for those in the justice system - apart from the judge and the jury at his first trial.
He said there was no such thing as innocent until proven guilty and accused the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) of "over compensating" for its "failings" in the Jimmy Savile case, amid "hysteria" over the affair.
Mr Travis said the case had "done a lot of damage" to his reputation - damage that might be "irreparable" - and that the past 20 months since his arrest had been very stressful.
But he added: "I'm ok - I'm not about to top myself."
