Xiaomi MiTV2 help

[i1magic]

Hi guys,

I have a 55" Xiaomi TV2 which somehow just went dead.
I can't power it on, it does not respond to any touch or from remote.
I have changed power sockets and tested the sockets with other electrical device. The power socket is fine.
Anyone experienced this before? The TV was working fine the night before.
Thanks.

Wah lau, jialat.

When you touch the bottom part, does the white light in the centre appears? When did you buy this TV? Have you tried contacting the seller for some help?

Do you remember the night before that it was working, did you turn off to standby or power off totally?

Hope you have found a solution to your problem and share here.

It may be difficult to understand for you, but it is also difficult to explain in such a forum the details.

This site, has a good explanation on what you are looking for. Concentrate on the part "Why is Mi TV 3 different?"

Disclaimer: I am not advertising for Mi.

Not sure whether does the Mi TV 3 comes with 1 x HDMI input on the TV which allow it to be used like a monitor. Or a HDMI to Mi Port cable, which allow the TV to be used like a monitor.

If it can be, then it'll be really good news.

Also, perhaps Xiaomi can sell this as "monitor" to Spore easier now. Without the TV tuner built-in, it is no long consider as a TV anymore under IDA. Any expert can confirm on this?

And they can just sell the soundbar (with all the stuffs) as soundbar.

There are only 2 ports on the TV (Monitor LED Panel)
1 power socket
1 Mi Port

Every input is from the sound bar unfortunately.

So if they have a HDMI to Mi Port cable for people to use the screen as a monitor, I believe it can be passed on as a monitor and doesn't need IDA approval liao.

As usual, pics are clearer and more convincing.

The first pic below, as boosted by Xiaomi, shows only one cable between the "monitor" and "Mi TV Bar" (main board/sound bar) cable supplies both video signal and power.

2nd & 3rd pics show the Mi Port cable and connection.

So the Mi monitor can only be paired with a device that has a Mi port, like the main board/soundbar.

The pic below shows the available ports on the main board/soundbar. All are input ports except the VGA, Subwoofer and Mi Port for connection to the monitor.

The monitor only has the Mi port. HDMI out from other devices will not have the power supply to power the monitor.

SPDIF/Optical Audio Out

Hi guys, bought the Xiaomi TV2 Soundbar ONLY during the 11/11 sales. However the cable that they provided, 3.5mm to SPDIF does not work when i plug it into the headphone jack of my LG TV.

Do I need another cable such as Digital Audio Out (TOSlink) to SPDIF? is there such cable? where can I find it?

There's also the other AUX input in the soundbar, how do I use that?

The soccer content is what resolution.

Ok, I am not super particular about TV quality lah. But when I play 4K content on the Mi TV 2 55", it looks similar to those Samsung LED TVs too.

But of course, to ultimately make a good comparison, have to put it side by side and play the same content.

1080i starhub. Haha it has gotten better after a while.
How to get 4K content?
Any apps recommended?
I just realized 55 inch no microsd slot. Looks like 49 inch is a better buy....haha
So k the tv download the files right onto an external hard disk ?

Hi, I suppose you want to output tv audio to the soundbar.

This XiaoMi SPDIF cable is specially designed for XiaoMi TV and sound bar. It has the normal SPDIF Digital Coaxial Audio at one end and a special 4 terminals (instead of 3) for the 3.5mm.

See post#519 for more detailed explanations.

Done my search earlier. Don't think there is such a cable for what you have in mind.

There's also the other AUX input in the soundbar, how do I use that?

You can use the headphone out from you tv to the aux in of your soundbar with the usual 3.5mm to RCA cable. But this will only give you L + R.

1080i will look bad, no doubt.
4k content is not available except those demos one.
Soccer ah... I highly doubt soccer got any high quality videos, which is why many of my friends just watch soccer on projector.

Micro SD is not value for money. Buy hdd for TV is better.

Good news for you. More search and found indeed there is such a convertor - Toslink to Coaxial RCA convertor.

That will solve your problem. But bear in mind that you still need a Toslink cable and a coaxial cable which will add to your cost.

If you decide to go ahead, buy one that shows Toslink as the input.

Edit: I presume that your LG has an optical out.
