equipment that can be controlled by VIERA Link Control.  
This includes connections to equipment already

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”
Connections to the equipment (DIGA Recorder, HD 
Camcorder, Player theater, 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.
