Philips AE 3750 - Advanced Tuning and Reception Improvement; Manual Tuning and Direct Entry

Radio reception
Manual tuning
1. Keep TUNING +/- (up or down) pressed.
This enables you to search at high speed.
2. Release TUNING +/-when you approach
the desired frequency.
3. Press TUNING +/- as often as required to
reach the desired frequency.
Direct frequency entry
1. Type in the numbers of the desired
frequency or meter band.
Note: For FM (MHz) stations, you must enter
the decimal point, even if no further
figures follow. Without the decimal point,
the entry is interpreted as a kHz entry.
- If you have made an incorrect entry.
Error will appear on the display. You can
clear the entry by either pressing the
MW-SW-LW or FM controls or by
pressing decimal point • twice.
2. Press ENTER to confirm the entry.
Improving radio reception
The radio station reception is indicated by the
SIGNAL gradient showing a scale from
0 (weak) to 5 (optimum reception).
To improve radio reception:
~ For FM, pull out the
telescopic aerial. Incline and
turn the aerial. Reduce its |
length if the signal is too
strong (very close to a
transmitter). If the FM stereo
signal is weak and distorted, set
MONO/STEREO to the MONO position. The
programmes will now be in mono sound but
the noise distortion will be suppressed.
- For MW/LW, the
set is provided with a built-in
aerial, so the telescopic aerial is
not needed. Direct the aerial
by turning the whole set.
- For SW, pull out the
telescopic aerial and place
in vertical position. Vary the
length of the aerial to improve
reception. If SW reception still
needs to be improved, use
the SW compact wire:
a. Extend the wire, lightly
pressing the centre of the wire winder.
b. Gently push the clip of the SW wire onto
the telescopic aerial. Use the other clip
(attached to the cord) to mount the
compact winder to e.g. a curtain near a
window, to obtain optimum reception.
c. After use, wind the wire in the direction
as shown on the winder.
