Using the VIERA Link “HDAVI ControlTM

What is VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”?

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that offers linked operations of this unit, and a Panasonic television (VIERA) under “HDAVI Control”. You can use this function by connecting the equipment with the HDMI cable. See the operating instructions for connected equipment for operational details.

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”, based on the control functions provided by HDMI which is an industry standard known as HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), is a unique function that we have developed and added. As such, its operation with other manufacturers’ equipment that supports HDMI CEC cannot be guaranteed.

This unit supports “HDAVI Control 2” function.

The TV with “HDAVI Control 2” function enables the following operation:

VIERA Link Control only with TV’s remote control (for “HDAVI Control 2”) (\ see right)
