VIERA Link “ ControlTM

Enjoy additional HDMI Inter-Operability with Panasonic products which have “HDAVI Control” function. This TV supports “HDAVI Control 3” function.

Connections to the equipment (DIGA Recorder, HD Video Camera, Player theatre, Amplifi er, etc.) with HDMI cable allow you to interface them automatically.

These features are limited to models incorporating “HDAVI Control” and “VIERA Link”.

Some functions are not available depending on the equipment’s version of HDAVI Control. Please confi rm the connected equipment’s version of HDAVI Control.

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.

Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers’ equipment supporting VIERA Link function. About applicable Panasonic equipment, consult your local Panasonic dealer.
