I had a hard time trying to work with Miracast. I looked in the manual and did everything according to the instructions. I had the app on my iPhone and tried every single app and nothing. I even called support to help me out and after being on hold for about 15 minutes and a few transfers, a person told me that it doesn't work because the TV (which is a sony also) needs to have Miracast technology as well. So, both TV and the blu-ray player needs Miracast turned on. My TV doesn't have it, but the blu-ray does. I looked all over the manual and no where does it say both needs it. It seems to always needs to confirm internet connection and goes through steps. Not too wife friendly. Other than that, it does what is suppose to do.
So far I had no issues with this unit. It plays Blu-ray, DVD, CD disks beautifully. Easy to use remote. Needs a bit of time for the Wi-Fi to make a connection after first turning it on, to reach Netflix for example, but after about 30-40 seconds it will connect, and after that no problem. Easy menus to navigate, and takes up very little room on the shelf. Good unit.
Set up easy, wifi connection ideal.Plays Blue-ray discs with super picture and sound.If the is a problem with your unit,it is your wifi service. We have high speed. cable service and we use our new unit on our primary TV. Our old model (3100) is on second TV.We gave away our old vizio.
This Sony Blu-ray disc player with Wi-Fi has it all; beautiful picture, great sound, and access to apps and the internet. You have not experienced a home movie until you see it on Blu-ray. In fact, I like this product so much, I have one in the bedroom, and one in the living room.
I would recommend this to a friend!
