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 the individual manuals for other manufacturers’ equipment supporting the VIERA Link function.
 HDMI cable
This function needs an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable. Non-HDMI-co\
mpliant cables cannot be utilized.
It is recommended that you use Panasonic’s HDMI cable. Recommended part number:
RP-CDHS15 (4.9 ft/1.5 m), RP-CDHS30 (9.8 ft/3.0 m), RP-CDHS50 (16.4\
 ft/5.0 m)
 *  For more details on the external equipment’s connections, please refer to the operating manuals for the equipment.
