Phillips Micro Hi-Fi system

My girlfriend has bought me one of these but it only as a piece of wire as an aerial for the radio.
The radio reception is c^ap in every room I've tried it in.
It has an Aux socket on the back is it possible to buy an aerial/aerial booster and if so what should I be looking for?

Thanks for any help.

In general it would be very unusual for an external aerial input to be marked "Aux".

This generally indicates an analogue audio input for something like a record deck.

So basically I cant get another aeriel?

What's the piece of wire plugged into, if not an AERIAL SOCKET ?

That depends on how the existing aerial is connected. If it's hard-wired, it won't be easy to do anything at all.

If it has a plug, you may be able to use an alternative - though typically the "wire in plastic tape" ones have a plug that is specific to that type.

The SOny sitting in front of me has a regular co-axial socket on the back, and the piece of wire plugs onto the centre pin of the socket.

Anyone wishing to use a proper aerial need only remove the piece of wire, and plug into the co-axial socket with a proper co-ax cable and aerial attached.

Hopefully the one referred to here is the same.
