Enjoy additional HDMI
VIERA Link (HDAVI Control) connects the TV and the equipment with VIERA Link function, and enables easy control, playback, energy saving, creating home theatre, etc., without complicated settings. Connections to the equipment (DIGA Recorder, HD Video Camera, Player theatre, Amplifier, etc.) with an HDMI cable allow you to interface them automatically (p. 16). These features are limited to models incorporating “HDAVI Control” and “VIERA Link”.
●This TV supports “HDAVI Control 5” function. “HDAVI Control 5” is the newest standard for HDAVI Control compatible equipment. This standard is compatible with conventional HDAVI equipment.
●Some functions are not available depending on the equipment’s version of HDAVI Control. Confirm the connected equipment’s version of HDAVI Control.
●Some functions may not work properly depending on the connected equipment.
●VIERA Link features may be available even with other manufacturers’ equipment supporting HDMI CEC.
●VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a unique function that we have developed and added based on the control functions provided by HDMI which is an industry standard known as HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control). As such, its operation with other manufacturers’ equipment that supports HDMI CEC cannot be guaranteed.
●Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers’ equipment supporting VIERA Link function.
●About applicable Panasonic equipment, consult your local Panasonic dealer.
