Using the VIERA LinkTM “HDAVI ControlTM”
VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”
VIERA LinkTM is a new name for EZ SyncTM.
VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that offers linked 
operations of this unit, and a Panasonic TV (VIERA) 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 4” function.
“HDAVI Control 4” is the newest standard (current as of December, 
2008) 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.
The TV with “HDAVI Control 2 or later” function enables the following 
operation: VIERA Link Control only with TV’s remote control (for 
“HDAVI Control 2 or later”) (B25)
Preparation
≥Confirm that the HDMI connection has been made (B9).
≥Set “VIERA Link” to “ON” (B29, HDMI menu).
≥To complete and activate the connection correctly, turn on all VIERA 
Link “HDAVI Control” compatible equipment and set the TV to the 
corresponding HDMI input mode for this unit.
Whenever the connection or settings are changed, reconfirm the points 
above.(Available when using VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” with 
“HDAVI Control 3 or later” compatible TV)
This function automatically provides synchronized audio and video 
output. (This works only when the source is “DVD/CD”, “AUX” or “D-IN”.)
≥When using “DVD/CD” as the source, set “TIME DELAY” in VIDEO 
menu to “0 ms/AUTO” (B28).
You can turn on this unit and the TV, and start playing the disc with a 
single press of a button.
[Note]

(Effective when playing 5.1-channel sound)
(Center and surround speakers only)
For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for 
the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position.
If you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the seating 
position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.
If either distance a or b is less than c, find the difference in the table 
and change to the recommended setting.
