VIERA Link “ Control™”

Enjoy additional HDMI interoperability with Panasonic products which have “HDAVI Control” function.
This TV supports “HDAVI Control 4” function.
Connections to the equipment (DIGA Recorder, HD Video Camera, Player theatre, Amplifier, etc.) with
HDMI cable allow you to interface them automatically.
These features are limited to models incorporating “HDAVI Control” and “VIERA Link”.

Some functions are not available depending on the equipment’s version of HDAVI Control. Please

confirm the connected equipment’s version of HDAVI Control.

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.

Please refer to individual manuals for the equipment.

About applicable Panasonic equipment, consult your local Panasonic dealer.

HDMI connection

HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high­quality sound by connecting the TV and the equipment.
HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box or a DVD
player, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 40).

HDMI is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression

standard.
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter
cable (*2).

When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal

(HDMI1 : use AV2 IN AUDIO terminal).
