If the TV is connected to the LINE-1 (TV) connector, setting the RF channel to OFF is recommended (see page 17). In the OFF position, only the signal from the aerial is output through the AERIAL OUT connector.

For a correct SmartLink connection, you will need a Scart cable which the 21 pins are completely connected (for example a Sony cable reference VMC-2121HG). Please refer to your TV’s instruction manual as well for this connection.
