≥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 5” function.
“HDAVI Control 5” is the newest standard (current as of November, 2011) for
Panasonic’s HDAVI Control compatible equipment. This standard is
compatible with Panasonic’s conventional HDAVI equipment.

supporting VIERA Link function.

switch the input channel and display the corresponding action.
Additionally when the TV is off, the TV will automatically turn on:
– When play starts on the unit
