leads to a

menu, allowing you to configure the radiotext
display on the front display and on-screen:

Whilst listening to the AV32R’s digital radio you
can display scrolling Radiotext on the front panel
display.

You can also display scrolling Radiotext on your
display device, using the AV32R’s on-screen text
capability. You can restrict the display to the time
you listen to the DAB digital radio (

when on radio
