Xiaomi MiTV 2 - How to Setup MiTV & Wall Mount

I have done a lots of reading and planning for mounting my MiTV2 before purchase.
Few items still arrived as surprises.

Things you need to know for installing MiTV on Wall Mount:


Mounting Holes at the Back of MiTV 2 

  • The mounting holes dimension/ distance on MiTV are 300mm x 300mm
  • Importantly, these holes are differs by 1cm height (lower pair are higher than the upper pair)
  • Work Around:
    • Once you bought your Mount, take one bolt sample that need to screw on MiTV
    • Go to hardware shop
    • Buy multiple washers that fit (need to be able to stack-up to 2cm = 1cm each for the 2 holes on top row) -- I used around 6 washer to stack up 1cm
    • Picture of washer & bolt - make sure bolt cap is larger than washer's hole



    • This is how it looks on my TV bracket/ mount:


Wall Mount/Bracket 
  • Old Mount or Bracket for LCD TV 32"-42" can cope up to 21kg weight
  • MiTV 2 only weight around 12kg, you can reuse the old mount.  I reused mine

Cable Connections
  • S/PDIF cable is extremely short (around 2 feet)
    • It ended up below my TV (Failed to conceal it behind my TV cabinet)
  • Restarting Subwoofer when it does not function
    • When you play with the sound bar's physical buttons, you may accidentally disable subwoofer
    • Power off for about 30 seconds until the subwoofer's "MI" LED button's light is off.  Power on after that
    • If you restart the power before the LED is off, it is not a true restart
Others
  • AirPlay or Miracast
    • Have not fully tested
    • From first few trials, it seems 
    • UPDATE: Airplay/ Miracast is not as native as expected.  You will first need to open an wireless mirror app to enable it when the app stay opens.
  • If your TV comes with 2 pairs of 3D glasses, keep the box.  It is designed to keep 4 pairs of 3D glasses

  • One of the USB ports labeled supporting Camera for video call
  • You can get Karaoke app install into your TV.  However, there is still no simple solution to install the mixer and mic for speaker output
