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 favourite 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.

Sharing content with DLNA Certified™ devices
You can view or play media content saved to your device on other devices such as
a TV or a computer. These devices must be on the same wireless network and can
be Sony TVs or speakers, or products that are DLNA Certified™ by the Digital Living
Network Alliance. You can also view or play content from other DLNA Certified™
devices on your device.
After you set up media sharing between devices, you can for example listen to
music files stored on your home computer using your device, or view photos taken
with your device's camera on a large-screen TV.
Playing files from DLNA Certified™ devices on your device
When you play files from another DLNA Certified™ device on your device, this
other device acts as a server. In other words, it shares content over a network. The
server device must have its content sharing function enabled and give access
permission to your device. It also must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as
your device.
