VIERA Link Functions

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control™”

VIERA Link Functions

The power consumption in Standby mode of the connected equipment is controlled higher or lower in synchronisation with the TV On / Off state to reduce the consumption. When the TV is set to Standby mode, the connected equipment is automatically set to Standby and the power consumption in Standby mode of the connected equipment is automatically minimised. When the TV is turned on, the connected equipment is still in Standby mode, but the power consumption is increased to make startup time early.

●

This function is effective if the connected equipment can change the power consumption in Standby mode and is set to higher consumption.

●

This function will work when [Power off Link] is set to [On].
