When you have selected an FM station which is transmitting RDS
information, the ‘rds’ indicator will be displayed

.
The T32R allows you to display further information. Pressing the
data
button on the front panel or the
data
key on the Remote will cycle
through the following options:
(2)
• frequency
(FM, LW, MW only)
• station name
(3)
• ensemble name
(4)
(DAB only)
• clock
• date
• radio text
(FM, DAB only)
• programme type
(FM, DAB only)
• signal strength
(FM, AM)
• signal quality
(DAB only)
An up arrow at the end of the option indicates that it will be displayed
in the large 8-character display. A down arrow indicates that it will be
displayed in the dot matrix area. Some option arrows appear twice to
give you the choice of display.
The display configuration is independent for each band, i.e you can for
example select
station name
and
radiotext
for FM and
frequency
and
clock
for MW. An option is selected pressing either
enter
or
waiting for a few seconds.
