Using VIERA Link 82 - ENGLISH Appendix Using VIERA Link VIERA Link (HDAVI Control) connects projector and the equipment with VIERA Link function, and enables easy control of the home theatre equipment using the projector remote control. This projector supports “HDAVI Control 5” function. z However, the available features depends on the connected device’s version of HDAVI Control. Please confirm the connected device’s version of HDAVI Control. Even with devices from other companies, if it is HDMI specification CEC compatible, there are cases where same function z can be used.

Using VIERA Link ENGLISH - 83 Appendix ■ VIERA Link Control of compatible equipment “Using [VIERA LINK]” ( page 84) Table below displays maximum number of compatible z equipment that can be controlled by VIERA Link Control. This includes connections to equipment already connected to the projector. For example, DIGA Recorder connected to Amplifier which is connected to the projector via an HDMI cable. Type of the equipment Maximum number Recorder (DIGA Recorder, etc.) 3 Player (DVD Player, Blu-ray Disc Player, HD Video Camera, LUMIX Camera, Digital Camera, Player theatre, Blu-ray Disc theatre, etc.) 3 Audio system (Player theatre, Blu-ray Disc theatre, Amplifier, etc.) 1 Tuner (Set top box, etc.) 4 VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” Connections to the equipment (DIGA Recorder, HD Video Camera, Player theatre, Amplifier, etc.) with HDMI cables allow you to interface them automatically. These features are limited to models incorporating “HDAVI Control” and “VIERA Link”. Some functions are not available depending on the z equipment’s version of HDAVI Control. Please confirm the connected equipment’s version of HDAVI Control. But some functions will not be able to perform even if the versions are the same. VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”, based on the control z 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 individual manuals for other z manufacturers’ equipment supporting Link function. About applicable Panasonic equipment, consult your z local Panasonic dealer. Preparations ■ Use fully wired HDMI compliant cable. Non-HDMI- z compliant cables cannot be utilized. Set up the connected equipment. z Switch the connected equipment on.
