Mirroring the Screen of Your Device Wirelessly on a TV
You can use the Screen mirroring feature to show the screen of your device on a TV
or other large display without using a cable connection. Wi-Fi Direct™ technology
creates a wireless connection between the two devices, so you can sit back and
enjoy your favorite photos from the comfort of your couch. You can also use this
feature to listen to music from your device using the TV's speakers.
When using Screen mirroring, the image quality may sometimes be negatively impacted if
there is interference from other Wi-Fi networks.
To mirror the screen of your device on a TV screen
1
TV: Follow the instructions in the User Guide of your TV to turn on the Screen
mirroring function.

Your device: Find and tap Settings > Device connection > Screen mirroring.

Tap Start.

Tap OK and select a device.
Your TV must support Screen mirroring based on Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast
to work. If your TV does not support Screen mirroring, you may need to purchase a wireless
display adapter separately. Also, when using Screen mirroring, do not cover the Wi-Fi
antenna area of your device.

Connecting Your Device to USB Accessories

adapter is not necessary.
USB Type-C host adapters are sold separately. Sony does not guarantee that all
USB accessories are supported by your device.
This device has a capless USB Type-C port. If your device gets exposed to water, ensure that
the port is completely dry before connecting a USB Type-C cable.
