How to mirror to a Sony TV

Three steps, and the first is the one that decides whether the other two matter.

Confirm the pair can work

Find your phone in the table above. If it says Not over Wi-Fi, stop here - no app or setting will change that, and the fix is an adapter or a Chromecast.

Open mirroring on the Sony

2013-2020 sets: pick Screen mirroring from the Inputs list. Google TV sets: nothing to enable, cast from the app.

Then start from the phone

Same Wi-Fi network and same band on both. Several brands only advertise themselves once mirroring is already open on the TV, which is why scanning first so often finds nothing.

What else to know about Sony TVs

  • Miracast works on most Bravia sets from roughly 2013 to 2020, including the X80H, X90H and A8H generation.
  • Chromecast built-in is common on Sony sets from about 2017 onward.
  • AirPlay 2 appeared around 2018 and is widespread on the 2020-2023 range. It is iOS only and does not help an Android phone.

If your phone is not compatible

There is no software fix for a missing protocol. Both of these are more reliable than wireless mirroring anyway.

  • A USB-C to HDMI adapter. Works on any phone with DisplayPort Alt Mode, needs no network, and has effectively no lag.
  • A Chromecast or Google TV streamer plugged into the Sony, which gives it Google Cast support.

Why does my Sony TV not show up when I scan?

On a newer Bravia the input simply is not there, so Miracast will never connect no matter how long you scan - it is Chromecast built-in or nothing. If your phone and TV do share a protocol, the next things to check are that both are on the same Wi-Fi network and the same band, and that the network is not a guest network with client isolation switched on.
