VIERA Link “ ControlTM”



Enjoy additional HDMI Inter-Operability with Panasonic products which have “HDAVI Control” function. This TV supports “HDAVI Control 2” function. Connections to some Panasonic equipment (DVD Recorder DIGA, HD Video Camera, Player theatre, Ampliﬁ er, etc.) with HDMI cables allow you to interface them automatically. The equipment with “HDAVI Control” function enables the following operations:

Easy playback (p. 31)

•

Power on Link (p. 31)

•

Power off Link (p. 31)

•

Speaker control (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

This function needs an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable. Non-HDMI-compliant cables cannot be utilized. It is recommended that you use Panasonic’s HDMI cable. Recommended part number:

RP-CDHG15 (1.5 m)

•

RP-CDHG30 (3.0 m)

Preparations

Setup the equipment to enable this function. Read the manuals of the equipment. About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 32). Read the manuals of the equipment too.

For the ﬁ rst time / When adding new equipment, reconnecting equipment or changing setup

After connection turn the equipment on and then switch the TV on. Select the input mode to HDMI (p. 14), and make sure that an image is displayed correctly.
