Linked operations with the TV (VIERA Link “HDAVI ControlTM”)

You can enjoy linked operations with the TV and receiver by using “HDAVI Control”.

What is VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”?

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that offers linked operations of this unit, and a Panasonic TV (VIERA) or receiver 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 3” function.

“HDAVI Control 3” is the newest standard (current as of December, 2007) for Panasonic’s HDAVI Control compatible equipment. This

standard is compatible with Panasonic’s conventional HDAVI equipment.

≥Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers’ equipment supporting VIERA Link function.
