

Be sure to connect to the TV’s ARC compatible terminal. (Refer to the operating instructions for the TV.)

Connections

≥ Turn off all equipment before connection and

read the appropriate operating instructions.

Do not connect the AC mains lead until all other connections are completed.

∫ HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia

Interface)

≥ The HDMI connection supports VIERA Link “HDAVI

Control” (> 26) when used with a compatible Panasonic TV.

≥ Use the ARC compatible High Speed HDMI Cables.

Non-HDMI-compliant cables cannot be utilised.

≥ It is recommended that you use Panasonic’s HDMI

cable.

∫ HDMI standby pass-through

Even if the main unit is in standby mode, the audio and/ or video signal from the device connected to the HDMI AV IN terminal will be sent to the TV connected to the HDMI AV OUT terminal (the sound will not be output from this system).

∫ 3D compatibility

Compatible with FULL HD 3D TV and Blu-ray Disc player. ≥ The main unit can pass-through the 3D video signal

from a 3D compatible Blu-ray Disc player to a FULL HD 3D TV.

∫ 4K/60p compatibility

Compatible with 4K Ultra HD TV and Blu-ray Disc player. ≥ This system can pass-through the 4K content of a 4K

compatible equipment to a 4K Ultra HD TV.

≥ When connecting to 4K compatible equipment and

4K Ultra HD TV, use High Speed HDMI cables which support 18 Gbps bandwidth.

Connection with the TV

1 Verify if the TV’s HDMI terminal is

labelled “HDMI (ARC)”.

Connection differs depending on the label printed next to the HDMI terminal.

Labelled “HDMI (ARC)”: Connection [A] Not Labelled “HDMI (ARC)”: Connection [B]
