How to Do Screen Mirroring on Sony Bravia TV with iPhone

Screen mirroring, also known as screen casting, allows you to wirelessly display the content of your iPhone onto a larger screen, such as your Sony Bravia TV. This feature is particularly useful for sharing photos and videos, playing games, or even giving presentations. This article will guide you through the step-by-step process of setting up and using screen mirroring on your Sony Bravia TV with an iPhone.

1. Ensure Compatibility and Enable Wi-Fi

Before attempting to mirror your iPhone screen to your Sony Bravia TV, ensure compatibility. Most modern Sony Bravia TVs support screen mirroring, but it's always advisable to check the TV's specifications or consult the user manual. Additionally, both your iPhone and your TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network for screen mirroring to function correctly.

To enable Wi-Fi on your iPhone, navigate to the "Settings" app and tap on "Wi-Fi." Select your home Wi-Fi network from the list of available networks and enter the password if prompted. Ensure that your Sony Bravia TV is also connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

2. Access Screen Mirroring on your iPhone

Once your devices share the same Wi-Fi network, you can initiate screen mirroring on your iPhone. This process involves the Control Center, which is accessible by swiping down from the top-right corner of the screen (on iPhones with Face ID) or swiping up from the bottom of the screen (on iPhones with a Home button). In the Control Center, locate the "Screen Mirroring" icon, which resembles a rectangle overlapping a smaller rectangle. Tap on this icon to reveal a list of available devices capable of receiving screen mirroring, including your Sony Bravia TV.

If your Sony Bravia TV is not immediately visible on the list, check if the TV's "Screen Mirroring" or "Wireless Display" feature is enabled. Consult your TV's user manual for instructions on activating this feature. Alternatively, you might need to restart your TV and iPhone to refresh the device list.

3. Connect to the TV and Enjoy Screen Mirroring

When your Sony Bravia TV appears on the "Screen Mirroring" list, tap on its name to connect your iPhone to the TV. You should now see the display of your iPhone mirrored on your Sony Bravia TV. The content you are viewing on your iPhone, including videos, photos, presentations, and even apps, will now appear on the larger TV screen.

To disconnect your iPhone from the TV, simply open the Control Center and tap on the TV’s name again in the "Screen Mirroring" section. Alternatively, you can directly press the "Stop Mirroring" button on your iPhone's screen.

Keep in mind that screen mirroring may not work flawlessly for all apps and videos. Some apps might have limitations imposed by their developers that prevent mirroring. Additionally, the quality of the mirrored image can vary based on the strength of your Wi-Fi signal and the capabilities of both your iPhone and Sony Bravia TV.

If you encounter issues with screen mirroring, consider restarting both your phone and TV. You might also try adjusting the network settings on your iPhone or your TV. If these steps don't resolve the issues, consult your Sony Bravia TV's user manual or contact Sony customer support for further assistance.
