Linked Operations with the TV (VIERA Link™ “HDAVI Control™”)
You can enjoy linked operations with the TV and receiver by using “HDAVI Control”.
What is VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”?
VIERA Link™ is a new name for EZ Sync™.
VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that offers linked operations of this unit, and a Panasonic 
TV (VIERA) or receiver under “HDAVI Control”. You can use this function by connecting the equipment with the 
HDMI cable. See the operating instructions for connected equipment for operational details.
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.
This unit supports “HDAVI Control 3” function. 
“HDAVI Control 3” is the newest standard (current as of December, 2007) for Panasonic’s HDAVI Control 
compatible equipment. This standard is compatible with Panasonic’s conventional HDAVI equipment.
Please refer to individual manuals for other manufacturers’ equipment supporting VIERA Link function. •
•
•
Preparation:
1. Connect this unit to your TV or receiver with an HDMI cable (➔ 9, 54).
2. Set “VIERA Link” to “On” (➔ 49). (The default setting is “On”.)
3. Set the “HDAVI Control”  operations on the connected equipment (e.g., TV).
• When using HDMI2 terminal of VIERA as “HDAVI Control” , set the input channel to HDMI2 on VIERA.
4. Turn on all “HDAVI Control”  compatible equipment and select this unit’s input channel on the connected TV so 
that the “HDAVI Control” function works properly.
 When the connection or settings are changed, repeat this procedure.
