	equipment. It also carries a command signal that allows you to control your
	Panasonic TV (VIERA) or DVD recorder (DIGA) with one touch of a button
	(➡ page 21).

	equipment (e.g. with HDMI Ver.1.0) cannot output multi-channel audio as a
	digital signal. Use the 6-channel discrete connection (➡ pages 8 and 20) if this
	is the case.
