Connecting your television and DVD equipment
High-quality audio and video simply with HDMI connection
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) connection means you only need one cable to transmit digital audio and video between two pieces of equipment. It also carries a command signal that allows you to control your Panasonic TV (VIERA) or DVD recorder (DIGA) with one touch of a button (➡ page 21).DVD-Audio multi-channel audio is carried as a digital signal. Some DVD equipment (e.g. with HDMI Ver.1.0) cannot output multi-channel audio as a digital signal. Use the 6-channel discrete connection (➡ pages 8 and 20) if this is the case.The HDMI indicator lights when you are using this connection.
