   Steps to follow

   2. Turn off the devices and connect the correct HDMI or other cable supported by the model; use an adapter that supports the image if necessary.
   3. Press Source/Input on the TV remote and select the socket you connected to, eg HDMI 2.
   4. After turning on the computer, select duplicating or extending in its Display settings. For sound, select the TV separately in the audio output list.

   If your TV and Mac support it, use AirPlay on an accessible network, subject to network isolation.

   1. Check that the TV supports AirPlay and that your devices are accessible in the same network context.
   2. From the Mac menu bar, open Control Center > Screen Mirroring.
   3. Select your TV and enter the on-screen confirmation if prompted.
   4. If the TV is not visible, check its AirPlay setting and network isolation; do not select a foreign device.
