VIERA Link “ HDAVI Control™”

Enjoy additional HDMI interoperability with Panasonic products which have “HDAVI Control” function.
This TV supports “HDAVI Control 5” function.
Connections to equipment with HDMI cable such as a DIGA Recorder, HD Video Camera, Player
theatre, Amplifier, etc., allow you to interface to 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
confirm 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.
