　Google has released a new video device "Chromecast with Google TV".Unlike the conventional Chromecast, it is equipped with a Google TV (Android TV) and works alone using a remote control.I think that there are many people who are considering purchasing due to improved convenience.

　This article briefly explains how to set up Chromecast with Google TV.

First, make sure that accessories are available!

　CHROMECAST with Google TV packages include the following:Make sure you have everything.

　If you have any missing things, consult the store or web mail order site you have purchased.

Let's connect to TV!

　First, connect the body of the Chromecast with Google TV to the HDMI input terminal on the TV.Make sure that the HDMI terminal of the TV is available.If you do not have any room, you can introduce one HDMI input terminal with multiple devices by introducing the "HDMI selector (HDMI switch)".

　The body of the Chromecast with Google TV is inserted directly into the HDMI input terminal on the TV.Please check if there is a space to insert it in the periphery of the terminal.

　Once the body is connected to the TV, connect the attached USB cable to the main unit, insert the USB Type-A connector on the other side of the cable into the included AC adapter, and put the AC adapter in the outlet.

　There is no power switch on the body of Chromecast with Google TV.The power is turned on the moment when the power is supplied.Switch the video input on the TV to see if the video is reflected.

Prepare a smartphone and set it up!

　If you are new to Chromecast with Google TV for the first time, you need a initial setting.Prepare a remote control and a "Google Home" app that has already been introduced.

　You can proceed with the setup only with the remote control, but it takes time to enter your account information.We recommend that you set up with the Google Home app.

　The flow of the setup depends on the situation, such as the presence or absence of the "Google account".The flow of connecting to Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) using a smartphone that has already used Google Home app is as follows.The procedure with "★" at the end of the sentence is performed from the smartphone (Google Home app), and the procedure that is not attached is performed from the remote control.

　The Ethernet adapter has a wired LAN terminal (100BASE-TX / 10BASE-T compatible), where you can connect a wired LAN cable.This adapter is also the "replacement" of the AC adapter and USB cable attached to the Chromecast with Google TV.
