VIERA Link “HDAVI Control™”
Enjoy additional HDMI interoperability with Panasonic products which have “HDAVI Control” function.
This TV supports “HDAVI Control 5” function.
Connections to equipment with HDMI cable such as a DIGA Recorder, HD Video Camera, Player 
theatre, Amplifier, etc., allow you to interface to them automatically.
These features are limited to models incorporating “HDAVI Control” and “VIERA Link”.
  ●Some functions are not available depending on the equipment’s version of HDAVI Control. Please 
confirm the connected equipment’s version of HDAVI Control.
  ●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.
  ●Please refer to individual manuals for the external equipment. About applicable Panasonic equipment, 
consult your local Panasonic dealer.
