Replacing the BeoVision Avant 32, the BeoVision Avant 32 RF DVD was an updated version of its former self complete with a ‘Real flat’ screen which allowed for a better viewing angle. It also gave the model a more modern look as well as a new lease of life.
The set had an integrated DVD player in place of a VHS video recorder and delivered a good 2 x 39W of sound through its integrated active speakers. This particular model could be fitted with the Dolby Digital Surround Sound module which would give digital-quality surround sound when connected to suitable loudspeakers from the Bang & Olufsen BeoLab range. BeoLab 8000 at the front and BeoLab 6000 at the rear- together with a BeoLab 2 sub-woofer- were the recommended active loudspeakers.
