Linked operations with the TV
(VIERA LinkTM “HDAVI ControlTM”)
What is VIERA Link “HDA VI
Control”?
VIERA LinkTM is a new name for EZ SyncTM.
VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient
function that offers linked operations of this
unit, and a Panasonic TV (VIERA) under
“HDAVI Control”.
You can use this function by connecting the
equipment with an HDMI cable. See the
operating instructions for connected
equipment for operational details.
Preparation
1 Set “VIERA Link” to “On”.
(The default setting is “On”.)
2 Set the “HDAVI Control” operations on the
connected equipment (e.g., TV).
3 For the optimal “HDAVI Control” operations
change the following settings on the connected

4 Turn on all “HDAVI Control” compatible
equipment and select this unit’s input channel
on the connected TV so that the “HDAVI
Control” function works properly.
5 Start playback on the device connected to the
HDMI AV IN terminal and check that the image
is displayed correctly.
When the connection or settings are changed,
repeat this procedure.
§1 The availability and function of the settings may vary
depending on the TV. Refer to the operating instructions for
the TV for details.
§2 If the TV has a default speaker setting within the VIERA
Link setting items, choosing this unit as the default speaker

≥ 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.
≥ This unit supports “HDAVI Control 5” function.
“HDAVI Control 5” is the newest standard (current as of
December, 2009) for Panasonic’s HDAVI Control compatible
equipment. This standard is compatible with Panasonic’s
conventional HDAVI equipment.
≥ Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers’
equipment supporting VIERA Link function.
