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 2" function.
