etc.) with HDMI cables allow you to interface them automatically.
The equipment with “HDAVI Control” function enables the following operations:

Easy playback (p. 31)

•

In addition, the equipment with “HDAVI Control 2” function enables the following operation:

Easy control only with VIERA remote control (p. 31)

•

These features are limited to models incorporating Panasonic’s “HDAVI Control” and “VIERA Link”.
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.
Refer to individual manuals for compatibility information. About applicable equipment, consult your local
Panasonic dealer.

HDMI cable
