You can use this function by connecting the equipment with an HDMI cable. See the operating instructions for connected equipment for operational details.
≥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.
