Connections to the equipment (DVD 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”.
- 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)

■ Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care:
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to remove dirt or fingerprints.
For stubborn dirt:
(1) First clean the dust from the surface.
(2) Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water).
(3) Wring out the cloth firmly. (Please note, do not let liquid enter the TV inside as it may lead to product failure.)
(4) Carefully wipe moisten and wipe away the stubborn dirt.
(5) Finally, wipe away all the moisture.
= Caution =
- Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard, otherwise this may cause scratches on the surface.
•Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint. - The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.
- Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.
■ Mains plug
- Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.
