Connecting an adapter Anycast M9 Plus to a TV opens up new opportunities for broadcasting the screen of a smartphone, tablet or laptop to a large screen. However, many users experience compatibility issues, no sound, or an unstable connection. In this article we will analyze Android TV opens up new possibilities for broadcasting the screen of a smartphone, tablet or laptop to a large screen. However, many users experience compatibility issues, no sound, or an unstable connection. In this article we will look at three working connection methods (via HDMI, Wi-Fi Direct and Miracast), tell you how to adjust the resolution and sound, and also warn against common errors due to which the device may not work.

Feature Anycast M9 Plus — support Full HD 1080p and low signal latency, which makes it ideal for watching movies, streaming games or presentations. But for the adapter to work on Android TV (especially on models from Sony Bravia, Xiaomi Mi TV or Philips with a shell Google TV), you will have to take into account several nuances. For example, some TVs block third-party Miracast devices by default, and there may not be an option in the audio settings HDMI ARC. We will go through each step in detail so that you can set everything up the first time.

1. Preparation: what to check before connecting

Before connecting Anycast M9 Plus to the TV, make sure that your equipment meets the minimum requirements. This will save time and eliminate the need to look for the causes of problems later.

First, check Android TV version. The adapter works stably on firmware Android 9.0 and newer. On older versions (for example Android 7.0 some models LG) there may be problems with Miracast. You can find out the software version in the menu Settings → About TV → Android version.

Secondly, pay attention to screen resolution. Anycast M9 Plus supports maximum resolution 1920×1080 at 60 Hz. If your TV has a resolution 4K, the adapter automatically scales the picture, but the quality may deteriorate. In this case, we recommend manually setting 1080p in the adapter settings.

  • 🔌 Adapter power supply: Anycast M9 Plus requires an external power source via Micro-USB. Use the original power supply or USB port of the TV (if it produces enough current).
  • 📶 Wi-Fi network: A network is required for wireless connection 2.4 GHz (5 GHz is not supported). If the router only works in the range 5 GHz, switch it to mixed mode.
  • 🔊 Sound: Make sure that the TV supports audio transmission via HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel). Without this function, sound can only come through the TV speakers.
⚠️ Attention: On some TVs Samsung (especially with shell Tizen), the Miracast function is disabled by default. To activate it, go to Settings → General → External devices → Device settings → Miracast and enable the option.

2. Method 1: Connection via HDMI (wired method)

This is the most reliable and simplest method that is guaranteed to work on any TV with Android TV. You only need an HDMI cable (included with the adapter) and a power source for Anycast M9 Plus.

Connect the adapter to the TV via the port HDMIand then connect the power cable Micro-USB to the USB port of the TV or an external power supply. After this:

  1. Turn on the TV and switch to the signal source corresponding to the port to which the adapter is connected (for example, HDMI 1 or HDMI 2).
  2. A splash screen will appear Anycast with the name of the Wi-Fi network (for example, Anycast-XXXX).
  3. On a smartphone or tablet, connect to this network. The default password is usually empty or specified in the instructions.
  4. Open the screen settings on your mobile device and select the option Wireless display (on Android) or Screen Mirroring (on iOS).

If the picture does not appear, check:

  • 🔄 Whether the signal source on the TV is selected correctly.
  • 🔌 Is there enough power for the adapter (if connected to the USB port of the TV, try an external power supply).
  • 📱 Is it compatible your mobile device with Anycast M9 Plus (a list of supported models is in the instructions).

☑️ Checking the connection via HDMI

Done: 0 / 4

If there is an image, but no sound, go to the TV settings and select HDMI ARC as the audio source. On some models Xiaomi Mi TV this option must be enabled manually in the menu Settings → Sound → HDMI Output.

3. Method 2: Wireless connection via Wi-Fi Direct

This method allows you to broadcast the screen wirelessly, but requires that both the TV and mobile device support Wi-Fi Direct. On Android TV this function is almost always present, but can be hidden in the depths of the menu.

Connection instructions:

  1. Turn on Anycast M9 Plus and wait for its Wi-Fi network to appear (Anycast-XXXX).
  2. On the TV, go in Settings → Network and Internet → Wi-Fi Direct (on some models the path may differ: Settings → Connections → Wi-Fi Direct).
  3. In the list of available devices, find Anycast M9 Plus and connect to it. If you need a PIN code, enter 1234 or 0000 (indicated in the instructions).
  4. On your mobile device, activate the function Screen Mirroring (on Android) or AirPlay (on iPhone) and select Anycast M9 Plus from the list.

The advantage of this method is the absence of wires, but there are also disadvantages:

  • ⚡ Image delays are possible (lag) when watching videos or playing games.
  • 📶 The signal quality depends on the distance between devices (no more than 10 meters).
  • 🔇 Sound may be transmitted with interference if other Wi-Fi devices are working nearby.
⚠️ Attention: On TVs Philips with the shell Android TV the Wi-Fi Direct function may conflict with the connection to the main Wi-Fi network if after connecting to Anycast The Internet disappears, restart the TV.
💡

If the image is slow, reduce the screen resolution on your mobile device to 720p in the broadcast settings. This will reduce the load on the adapter and reduce delays.

4. Method 3: Connection via Miracast (for compatible TVs)

Miracast is a wireless screen casting standard that is supported by most modern TVs with Android TV. Unlike Wi-Fi Direct, it is optimized for multimedia streaming and has lower latency.

To connect via Miracast:

  1. Make sure Anycast M9 Plus is turned on and in standby mode (blue light is on).
  2. On the TV open Settings → Devices → Screen and sound → Wireless display (or Miracast).
  3. Activate device search. The list should appear Anycast M9 Plus.
  4. On a mobile device, turn on Screen Mirroring and select the adapter from the list.

If the TV does not find Anycast, check:

  • 🔄 Is Miracast mode enabled on the adapter (press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds if the indicator flashes red).
  • 📱 Does your smartphone support Miracast (on some models Xiaomi and Huawei this function is disabled in regional firmware).
  • 🛠️ Is the TV firmware updated (on older versions Android TV there may be compatibility errors).
Problem Possible cause Solution
The TV does not see Anycast Miracast is disabled in settings Enable Miracast in the menu Settings → Wireless display
No sound HDMI ARC source is not selected Go to Settings → Sound → HDMI Output and select ARC
Image is slow Weak Wi-Fi signal Reduce the resolution to 720p or bring the devices closer
Anycast is overheating Insufficient cooling Disconnect the adapter for 10 minutes or use an external fan
What to do if Miracast does not work on Samsung TV?

On TVs Samsung with a shell Tizen Miracast often conflicts with the built-in function Screen Mirroring. To solve the problem, disable the built-in screen mirroring in the settings and use Anycast via HDMI or Wi-Fi Direct.

5. Setting up sound and image: optimizing quality

Even if the connection was successful, the quality of the broadcast may leave much to be desired. Most often, users encounter no sound, low resolution or image delays. Let's take a look at how to fix this.

Sound settings:

  • 🔊 If the sound comes only through the TV speakers, check whether HDMI ARC is enabled in the audio settings.
  • 🎧 To output sound to external speakers or soundbar, use port HDMI ARC on the TV.
  • 📵 If the sound is interrupted, try turning off Bluetooth devices (headphones, speakers) that may cause interference.

Image adjustment:

  • 📺 If the picture is blurry, menu Anycast (available through the web interface at 192.168.49.1) select resolution 1080p.
  • 🎮 For games, reduce the resolution to 720pto reduce latency.
  • 🔄 If the screen is flickering, check the HDMI cable (it may be damaged or not supported Full HD).

Critical detail: on TVs Sony Bravia with a processor X1 when connected via Miracast, copy protection may be triggered HDCP. To bypass it, disable the option in the adapter settings HDCP Compliance (available in firmware newer than 1.2.5).
