How to Mirror Your MacBook Pro to a Sony TV

Screen mirroring allows you to wirelessly display the contents of your MacBook Pro on a larger screen, such as a Sony TV. This can be useful for presentations, sharing videos or photos, or simply enjoying a larger viewing experience. Here are the steps on how to screen mirror your MacBook Pro to a Sony TV:

1. Ensure Compatibility

Before you begin, ensure that both your MacBook Pro and Sony TV support screen mirroring. Most modern Sony TVs released after 2015 should support screen mirroring. To check if your TV supports screen mirroring, refer to the user manual or technical specifications of the TV.

2. Establish a Network Connection

Both your MacBook Pro and Sony TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network to enable screen mirroring. Ensure that both devices are connected to the same wireless network.

3. Enable Screen Mirroring on TV

On your Sony TV, navigate to the TV settings menu and enable the screen mirroring option. The specific steps may vary depending on the TV model. Usually, the screen mirroring option is located under the "Network" or "External Inputs" settings.

4. Start Screen Mirroring on MacBook Pro

On your MacBook Pro, click the AirPlay icon located in the menu bar at the top of the screen. The AirPlay icon resembles a rectangle with a triangle at its base. If you don't see the AirPlay icon, click on the "Control Center" icon in the menu bar and then click on the "Screen Mirroring" button.

5. Select Sony TV

In the AirPlay menu, a list of available devices will appear. Select the name of your Sony TV from the list. Your MacBook Pro should then start mirroring its display to the TV.

Ensure that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Restart both your MacBook Pro and Sony TV.
Check if there are any software updates available for your MacBook Pro or TV.
