How To Do Screen Mirroring On Sony Bravia With Android

Essential Guide to Screen Mirroring on Sony Bravia with Android

Screen mirroring allows you to wirelessly display content from your Android device onto your Sony Bravia TV. This feature seamlessly integrates your mobile experience with your home entertainment system, enabling you to enjoy movies, photos, and more on a larger screen.

Prerequisites:

To successfully screen mirror, ensure the following:

Your Sony Bravia TV is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Android device.
Both your TV and Android device support screen mirroring (Miracast or DLNA).
Your Android device runs Android version 4.4 or higher.

Methods for Screen Mirroring:

1. Using Miracast:

Miracast is a wireless display standard that allows direct screen mirroring without a separate dongle or cable. To use Miracast:

On your Android device, go to Settings > Connected devices > Connection preferences > Cast.
Select your Sony Bravia TV from the list of available devices.
If prompted, enter the PIN displayed on your TV screen into your Android device.
Your device screen will now be mirrored onto your TV.

2. Using a Dongle or Adapter:

If your Sony Bravia TV does not support Miracast, you can use a dongle or adapter that supports DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). To use a dongle or adapter:

Connect the dongle or adapter to an HDMI port on your Sony Bravia TV.
On your Android device, download and install a screen mirroring app from the Google Play Store (e.g., Screen Mirroring Assistant, AllCast).
Launch the app and follow the on-screen instructions to connect to the dongle or adapter.
Once connected, your device screen will be mirrored onto your TV.

Tips:

Ensure both devices are within close proximity for optimal performance.
Disable any Wi-Fi congestion or interference by closing unnecessary apps and moving away from sources of interference (e.g., microwave ovens).
Update the firmware on both your Sony Bravia TV and your Android device to resolve any potential compatibility issues.

Troubleshooting:

If you encounter any issues with screen mirroring, try the following:

Restart both your Android device and Sony Bravia TV.
Check if the Wi-Fi network is stable and both devices are connected to it.
Ensure your Android device and Sony Bravia TV are updated to the latest software versions.
Try using a different method of screen mirroring (Miracast or dongle).

By following these steps and resolving any troubleshooting issues, you can seamlessly screen mirror content from your Android device onto your Sony Bravia TV, enhancing your entertainment and sharing experiences.
