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”) (

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 synchronised audio and 
video output. (This works only when the source is “DVD/
CD”, “USB”, “AUX” or “D-IN”.)
