Connection Options
Determine if you’re connecting via Wi-Fi Direct or connecting via USB Wi-Fi adapter
After the receiver is powered on, choose from one of two ways to cast the content from your device to the big
screen TV: Wi-Fi Direct or via the USB Wi-Fi adapter. This is determined by the mobile device you are using (i.e.
smartphone, tablet, laptop, PC, etc.).
Wi-Fi Direct - Android:
If you have an Android based mobile
device (Samsung, LG, Huawei,
etc.), go to Settings and choose
Display. If you can see options like
Miracast, Cast, Smart View, or
Screen Mirroring, your device is
ready for Wi-Fi Direct. (Go to page
10 to see detailed steps).
The screen shots above are from 3 different Android based phones.

9
Wi-Fi Direct - Windows 10 (for
OEM installations only):
If you have a computer with
Windows 10 (for OEM installations
only), go to Settings and choose
Display. If you see an option for
Connect to a wireless display,
your computer is Wi-Fi Direct ready.
(Go to page 12 to see detailed
steps).
USB Wi-Fi adapter - Windows:
If you don’t see any of the
aforementioned options, then you
need to use the wireless USB
adapter to establish a connection.
(Go to page 14 to see detailed
steps).

Connect with Wi-Fi Direct
Once you have veried that your device is Wi-Fi Direct ready, you can cast your content to the big screen by
following the steps below.
Android devices
1. On your Display option screen,
connect by tapping on the cast
option specic to your device
(see example to the right).
The screen shots above are from 3 different Android based phones.

2. Your device will start searching for the Duplicast
Wireless A/V Receiver. Once the receiver appears,
tap on it to connect.
3. After you initiate the connection, wait a few
seconds for your device to establish the connection
with the wireless receiver.
When a black screen displays on both the TV and
your device, the connection has been established.
The technical term for this is “sync”, and the two
devices have now synced with each other.
After a connection is established you should be
able to see a mirror image of your device on the
big screen TV; whatever you do on your mobile
device will be duplicated on the big screen from
this point and on.
To disconnect from the TV, you can either turn off
your device or disconnect from the Display options
screen.

Windows 10 devices (for
OEM installations only)

a wireless display. Click on

connection process. Wait a few
seconds for the connection to
be made and then you should
see both the TV and laptop
screen go dark briey (an
indication the connection is
being established). You should
see your computer screen on
your TV (as if your TV is the
monitor).
4. The status bar at the right side
should indicate “Connected”.

If your device does not support Wi-Fi-Direct, then use the included USB Wi-Fi adapter to create its own dedicated
Wi-Fi connection to send the video from your small screen to the big screen. Please check the system requirements
rst to make sure your device meets the minimum requirements.
