VIERA Link "HDAVI Control™"
Summary of VIERA Link
Enjoy additional HDMI Inter-Operability with Panasonic products which have "HDAVI Control™" function.
VIERA Link (HDAVI Control) connects the TV and the equipment with VIERA Link function, and enables easy control, playback, energy saving, creating home theatre, etc. without complicated settings. Connections to the equipment (DVD Recorder, HD Video Camera, Player theatre, Amplifier, etc.) with HDMI and SCART cables allow you to interface them automatically. These features are limited to models incorporating “HDAVI Control” and “VIERA Link”.
- This TV supports "HDAVI Control 5" function.
- Some functions are not available depending on the equipment's version of HDAVI Control. Confirm the connected equipment's version of HDAVI Control.
- VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a unique function that we have developed and added based on the control functions provided by HDMI which is an industry standard known as HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control). As such, its operation with other manufacturers’ product that supports HDMI CEC cannot be guaranteed.
- VIERA Link features may be available even with other manufacturers' equipment supporting HDMI CEC.
- Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers' product supporting VIERA Link function.
- About applicable Panasonic product, consult your local Panasonic dealer.
■ VIERA Link (HDMI connection)
