    Question

    How do I disable the voice assistant or TalkBack feature on the Mi TV Stick?

    Answer

    If you are hearing a voice describing everything on the screen (TalkBack/Screen Reader) or if the Google Assistant is interrupting your programs, you can adjust these settings on your Mi TV Stick:

    • To disable the Screen Reader (TalkBack): Go to Settings (gear icon) > Device Preferences > Accessibility. Find TalkBack or Screen Reader and toggle it to Off.
    • To manage Google Assistant: The voice assistant is typically only active when the dedicated Google Assistant button on your remote is pressed. If it is triggering accidentally, ensure the remote buttons are not stuck.
    • To disable the 'OK Google' detection: Go to Settings > Device Preferences > Google Assistant and turn off the hands-free 'OK Google' detection if your specific TV model supports it.

    Note: Since the Mi TV Stick uses a standard Android TV interface, these settings are located within the system menu rather than the physical hardware.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I pair a new remote with the Mi TV Stick?

    Answer

    To pair a new remote with your Mi TV Stick, please follow these steps:

    1. Ensure the Mi TV Stick is powered on and connected to your TV.
    2. Hold the remote approximately 20 cm away from the Mi TV Stick.
    3. Press and hold the App button (the button with the square/dots icon) and the Home button (the button with the circle icon) simultaneously for several seconds.
    4. Release the buttons once you hear a beep or see a pairing success message on your TV screen.

    Note: If the pairing fails, ensure you have inserted fresh AAA batteries into the remote and try moving closer to the device.

  5. If you connect a stick to a screen only, how do you get sound from it?

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I get sound from the Mi TV Stick if it is connected to a screen without built-in speakers?

    Answer

    If you connect the Mi TV Stick to a monitor or screen that does not have built-in speakers, you can obtain sound using the following methods:

    • Bluetooth Audio: The Mi TV Stick supports Bluetooth. You can pair Bluetooth headphones, a Bluetooth soundbar, or Bluetooth speakers directly to the stick by going to Settings > Remotes & Accessories > Add accessory.
    • Monitor Audio Out: If your screen has a 3.5mm audio jack or optical output, you can plug external speakers or headphones directly into the monitor, as the HDMI connection carries both video and audio signals from the stick to the screen.
    • HDMI Audio Extractor: You can use an external HDMI audio extractor device. This sits between the Mi TV Stick and your screen, splitting the HDMI signal into video (for the screen) and separate audio (via RCA, Optical, or 3.5mm) for your sound system.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Why is my Mi TV Stick screen blank or stuck on the Android TV logo, and how can I tell if the remote is working?

    Answer

    Based on the Mi TV Stick User Guide and common troubleshooting for this device, please follow these steps:

    • Power Supply: Ensure you are using the included Power Adapter plugged directly into a wall socket as shown in the installation guide. Powering the stick via a TV's USB port often provides insufficient voltage, which can cause the device to hang on the "Android TV" logo or go blank.
    • Remote Functionality: The Mi TV Stick remote does not have a visible LED light. To check if it is working:
      • Ensure you have installed 2 x AAA batteries (not included in the box).
      • Try the "Camera Test": Point the front of the remote at your smartphone's camera lens while looking at your phone screen. Press any button; if the remote is sending a signal, you should see a faint flickering light through the camera view.
    • Initial Setup: You must connect to Wi-Fi to complete the setup process. If the screen remains blank after checking power, try a different HDMI port or ensure the stick is fully seated in the port.
    • Boot Loop: If the device continues to show only the logo, try a hard reset by unplugging the power adapter, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in.

    Question

    How can I connect the MI TV Stick to my laptop to use the laptop screen as a display?

    Answer

    Connecting the MI TV Stick directly to a laptop's HDMI port usually does not work because most laptops (including HP models) only have HDMI-out ports. These ports are designed to send a signal to an external monitor or TV, not to receive a signal from an external device like the MI TV Stick.

    To view the MI TV Stick on your laptop screen, you would typically need a USB HDMI Video Capture Card. This device plugs into your laptop's USB port and allows you to plug the MI TV Stick into the capture card's HDMI input. You would then use software (such as OBS Studio or the Windows 'Camera' app) to view the video feed.

    If you are trying to install apps and they are failing, ensure the device is properly powered using the included Power Adapter plugged into a wall socket, as a laptop's USB port may not provide enough power for the stick to function correctly during app installations.

    Question

    Why is my Mi TV Stick stuck in a restart loop after a recent update?

    Answer

    If your Mi TV Stick is stuck in a restart loop after a software update, it may be due to a corrupted update or insufficient power. Please try the following troubleshooting steps:

    • Check Power Supply: Ensure you are using the original power adapter and cable included in the box. Plugging the USB cable directly into the TV's USB port often provides insufficient power, which can cause restart loops during or after updates.
    • Perform a Hard Reset: If the device allows you to reach the home screen briefly, go to Settings > Device Preferences > Reset.
    • Recovery Mode: If you cannot access the menu, you can try to enter Recovery Mode. Unplug the power, then while holding the OK and Back buttons on the remote, plug the power back in. If the recovery menu appears, select Wipe data/factory reset.

    If the device continues to restart and you cannot access the recovery menu, the firmware may be permanently corrupted, and you should contact the retailer or Xiaomi support for warranty assistance.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I disable TalkBack on the Mi TV Stick to enter my PIN code?

    Answer

    When TalkBack is enabled on the Mi TV Stick, the navigation method changes. To enter your PIN or navigate the menus, you must use the following gestures with your remote:

    • Selection: Instead of a single click, you must double-tap the center (OK) button to select a number or item.
    • Navigation: Use the directional ring to move the focus box to the desired number, then double-tap to confirm.

    To disable TalkBack once you have access, or to try a shortcut:

    1. Shortcut: On many Android TV devices, you can press and hold both the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on the remote simultaneously for 3 seconds to toggle TalkBack off.
    2. Settings Menu: If the shortcut does not work, navigate to Settings (gear icon) > Device Preferences > Accessibility > TalkBack and switch it to Off. Remember to double-tap to select each option while TalkBack is active.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How can I watch TV channels on a Techwood TV using the Mi TV Stick when the internet is already connected?

    Answer

    To watch TV channels on your Mi TV Stick, you must use streaming applications, as the stick does not use a traditional antenna. Since your internet is already connected, follow these steps:

    • Install TV Apps: Go to the Google Play Store on your Mi TV Stick home screen. Search for and install live TV apps available in your region (such as Pluto TV, Rakuten TV, or local provider apps like HRTi, EON, or similar).
    • Use 'Live' Tab: Some versions of the Android TV interface have a 'Live' tab at the top of the home screen that aggregates free channels from installed apps.
    • IPTV Providers: If you have a subscription from an internet service provider, download their specific app from the Play Store and log in with your credentials.
    • YouTube: Many news and local channels stream live for free on YouTube, which is pre-installed on your device.

    Note: Ensure your Techwood TV is set to the correct HDMI source where the Mi TV Stick is plugged in to see the interface.

    Question

    How do I restore firmware or data on a Mi TV model L43M3-AA that only shows the mi.com logo?

    Answer

    It appears your Mi TV (Model L43M3-AA) is stuck on the boot screen, which often indicates a firmware issue or corrupted system data. Please note that the manual provided here is for the Mi TV Stick, which is a separate plug-in streaming device, rather than the built-in software for your specific TV model.

    To resolve a TV stuck on the logo screen, you can try a hard reset using the physical buttons on the TV (usually located at the bottom or back):

    1. Unplug the TV from the power outlet.
    2. Press and hold the Power and Select/OK buttons on the TV (or the remote, depending on the specific hardware version).
    3. While holding the buttons, plug the TV back into the power.
    4. If successful, the TV should enter Recovery Mode. From there, you can select 'Wipe data/factory reset'.

    Regarding your request for firmware files, we do not provide software downloads via email. For official firmware specific to model L43M3-AA, we recommend contacting Xiaomi Global Support or visiting their official website, as installing incorrect firmware can permanently damage your television.
