Using an HDMI Adapter
This method is very easy to use and you only need a few things:
- Get an HDMI adaptor specially made for your Kindle Fire.
- Connect a standard HDMI cable to the HDMI adaptor and the HDMI port on the back or side of your TV.
- Use the micro-USB connector on the HDMI adapter and make sure it’s plugged securely into the outlet.
- Connect the power cable using the adapter and plug it into a wall outlet.
You should now have the ability to stream from your Kindle Fire directly to the TV.
Connecting to the TV Using Miracast
This option requires a Miracast device or a Miracast video adaptor. You will need to get one if you don’t have one already. Once you have it, you can follow these steps:
- Connect your Miracast device to the HDMI port on your TV.
- Make sure it’s connected to the same wireless network that you have on your Kindle Fire.
- On the Kindle Fire, select Settings, Sounds, Display Mirroring.
- Choose Connect next to the device you want to connect.
- Wait about 15 seconds and you should see the videos being mirrored to the TV.
This method is the best if you already have a Miracast device but not the best option if you don’t have one already as the device will be more money than an HDMI cable.
Connect Using an HDMI Port
If you want to connect directly to the TV, you can just use a micro-HDMI to a standard HDMI cable. You will need to connect the cable between your device and an HDMI port on the back of your TV. This connection allows you to watch videos as well as allow for an audio connection.
Unfortunately, this method is the simplest but will not work for all TVs. You will need a new HD TV set. Older TVs typically do not have the audio component and will not work properly. If you want to use your older TV though, you can also look into getting a converter box for the analog-digital.
