VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”

This convenient feature links control of your receiver and your other Panasonic home theater equipment. VIERA televisions and DIGA DVD recorders connected with an HDMI cable can be controlled in this way. For details, refer to the operating instructions of your other equipment.

•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.
