Step 1 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” (> 25) 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.
∫ IR (Infrared) Blaster
≥ Do not use the IR Blaster if the TV’s remote control sensor is not blocked by the main unit. (> 14)
Connection with the TV
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]
∫ What is ARC?
ARC is an abbreviation of Audio Return Channel, also known as HDMI ARC. It refers to one of the HDMI functions. When you connect the main unit to the terminal labelled “HDMI (ARC)” on the TV, the optical digital audio cable that is usually required in order to listen to sound from a TV is no longer required, and TV pictures and sound can be enjoyed with a single HDMI cable.
Before use
Make the connection.
