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.

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.
