Registering your TV BRAVIA with Wi-Fi Direct

When you use the Wi-Fi Direct-compatible BRAVIA TV, you can directly connect the mobile device (Android OS) to the BRAVIA TV without a home network connection and control the TV with the Video & TV SideView application.

The registration method differs depending on the home device you want to register.

Note

If a mobile device is connected to a BRAVIA TV released in 2011 with Wi-Fi Direct, registration of the TV in Video & TV SideView will not be possible.
