Outstanding performance in every bands such as MW FM TV but SW insome extent. I think SW programs/broadcast are day by day reduced or may not reach to the set. MW and FM takes it's place. The only things where improvement reduced are ordinary cabinet,no dial light,no transformer,no rechargeable battery, no blue tooth or USB support and the antenna is not placed in right position may be little front or back for free movement of handle. Still I like it's very low price i.e,below 1300/- and overall quality. The most remarkable future is it's signal receiving quality with less noise disturbance. Review: Basic radio yet very good signal pickup - This is a very basic radio - tuner button, volume button, band selector & adapter input. It has no extra features like headphone socket or USB. However the signal pickup is very exceptional. It catches so many stations. It is delivered without any adapter or batteries. If you put your own batteries (D-size) you can take the radio wherever you go!! ## Features - Table top radio with 500mW RMS Sound output - Telescopic Aerial - Power Source: Battery: 3xR20 (4.5V DC)External DC SOCKET: 4.5V DC, Without Battery/Adaptor - Headphone jack - Battery operated ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00QWXW5XE | | Best Sellers Rank | #397,104 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #7 in Kitchen Radios | | Box Contents | Quick Start Guide | | Brand | PHILIPS | | Brand Name | PHILIPS | | Colour | White/Black | | Compatible Devices | Headphone | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 2,177 Reviews | | Display Type | LED | | Frequency | 108 MHz | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 30.3L x 17.8W x 13.4H Centimeters | | Item Type Name | Radio | | Item Weight Unit of Measure | 960 Grams | | Manufacturer | TPV | | Manufacturer Part Number | IN-RL384TV/N | | Model Number | IN-RL384TV/N | | Network Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Packer Contact Information | Penguin | | Power Source | Battery Powered, Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 30.3L x 17.8W x 13.4H Centimeters | | Product Features | Short Wave Reception | | Radio Bands Supported | FM | | Special Feature | Short Wave Reception | | Style Name | Classic | | Tuner Technology | FM | | Tuner Type | FM | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 4.5 Volts | | Warranty Description | 6 Months maufacturer Warranty from the date of purchase | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Philips - **Colour:** White/Black - **Connectivity Technology:** Auxiliary - **Product Dimensions:** 30.3L x 17.8W x 13.4H Centimeters - **Tuner Technology:** FM ## Images ![Philips Radio RL384TV/N with MW/FM/SW/TV Bands, 500mW RMS Sound output, Battery: 3xR20 (4.5V DC)External DC SOCKET: 4.5V DC, Without Battery/Adaptor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81s4pCnbMfS.jpg) ![Philips Radio RL384TV/N with MW/FM/SW/TV Bands, 500mW RMS Sound output, Battery: 3xR20 (4.5V DC)External DC SOCKET: 4.5V DC, Without Battery/Adaptor - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/911rCWW8ALS.jpg) ![Philips Radio RL384TV/N with MW/FM/SW/TV Bands, 500mW RMS Sound output, Battery: 3xR20 (4.5V DC)External DC SOCKET: 4.5V DC, Without Battery/Adaptor - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81JW2P4enOS.jpg) ![Philips Radio RL384TV/N with MW/FM/SW/TV Bands, 500mW RMS Sound output, Battery: 3xR20 (4.5V DC)External DC SOCKET: 4.5V DC, Without Battery/Adaptor - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91fmAkhLWkS.jpg) ![Philips Radio RL384TV/N with MW/FM/SW/TV Bands, 500mW RMS Sound output, Battery: 3xR20 (4.5V DC)External DC SOCKET: 4.5V DC, Without Battery/Adaptor - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Vn5A0J8LS.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is sw comes with clear frequency?** A: Yes it's pretty amazing **Q: whether mw & sw facilities are available along with fm facility ?** A: yes **Q: can we play telugu old songs in this.and wat is the band or frequency should set** A: Yes **Q: From where I can get rechargable 3XR20 BATTERYS in Mumbai or in online shopping for this Radio.?** A: It is difficult to get rechargeable R20 batteries, if not impossible, in India. It's easier to get a 4.5V battery eliminator from any electronics shop and use with Philips Portable Radio, provided with a DC socket, - it works very well. Moreover, for rechargeable batteries one requires a separate battery charger and, secondly, 3XR20 rechargeable batteries would provide only 1.2X3=3.6V, not 4.5V. Therefore, in view of the above, it is advisable to go in for a 4.5V battery eliminator (AC adapter). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small review of Philips radio RL 384 FM MW SW TV *by L***T on 24 November 2020* Best in sound and reception quality far above from panasonic and sony.

If you put your own batteries (D-size) you can take the radio wherever you go!! ### ⭐ An old brand cons Customers *by K***. on 21 May 2026* I purchased a Phillips transistor about one month ago.Put in brand new cells and started tuning the stn on FM.it was creating trouble.Thinking that something is wrong on broadcasting network time passed. Soon 10 day return window got over. Being a person who is neither computer savy not mobile expert I simply replacked- it. The warranty certificate is there but there are no longer any Phillips dealer network. The purchase experience has been terrible to say the least. I have been conned/ taken for a ride. Now the set is not even coming on. It has brand new cells. This is the condition of FM band. I am sure the SW band does not work at all from the very beginning. Tor it seems that some "scrap dealer"/ kabari has purchased a closing company's (Phillips) stock at throughaway price and now with the Help of Amazon it is making hay by conning gullible Customers who want to relive their old times by hearing music on Radio & transistor sets. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/64728504-philips-radio-rl384tv-n-with-mw-fm-sw-tv-bands](https://www.desertcart.us/products/64728504-philips-radio-rl384tv-n-with-mw-fm-sw-tv-bands) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
