Google Chromecast and Google TV

How do I setup Google Chromecast on my non-smart TV

What you'll need:

• Your Chromecast with Google TV device
  
• A TV with an HDMI port
  
• A power outlet
  
• A Wi-Fi connection
  
• A phone, tablet, or computer
  

​Instructions:

1. Plug in the Chromecast:
   
   • Connect the Chromecast's power adapter to a power outlet.
     
   • Plug the other end of the power adapter into the Chromecast.
     
2. Connect the Chromecast to your TV:
   
   • Find an available HDMI port on your TV and plug the Chromecast into it.
     
   • Switch your TV's input to the HDMI port you just used (consult your TV's manual if you're unsure how to do this).
     
3. Download the Google Home app:
   
   • On your phone, tablet, or computer, download the Google Home app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
     
4. Set up Chromecast with Google TV:
   
   • Open the Google Home app.
     
   • If this is your first time using Google Home, follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Google account and other preferences.
     
   • The app will automatically start searching for nearby Chromecast devices.
     
   • Select your Chromecast from the list.
     
   • You might see a setup code on your TV screen. Enter this code on your phone or tablet to pair the devices.
     
   • Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your Chromecast to your Wi-Fi network.
     
5. Optional: Connect to Ethernet (wired internet)
   
   • While not necessary, you can connect your Chromecast to your router using an ethernet cable (sold separately) for a more stable internet connection. There's an ethernet port on the Chromecast itself.
     
6. Control your Chromecast:
   
   • Once set up, you can use the Google Home app to control your Chromecast with Google TV. You can browse apps, launch content, and adjust settings.
     
   • You can also use the remote control that comes with Chromecast with Google TV to navigate the interface.
     

Tips:

• Make sure your phone or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast.
  
• If you have trouble connecting, restart your Chromecast, TV, and router.
