Using the VIERA Link "HDAVI Control"

VIERA Link "HDAVI Control"
This convenient feature links control of your receiver and your other Panasonic home theater equipment. VIERA televisions and
DIGA DVD recorders connected with an HDMI cable can be controlled in this way. For details, refer to the operating instructions of
your other equipment.
• 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.

DIGA DVD recorder) with an HDMI cable (above).
2. Read your television's operating instructions and make the settings necessary to activate the VIERA Link "HDAVI Control".
3. Switch on all your equipment, then switch your television off then on again and check that images from DIGA appear
correctly. (Do this whenever you change connections or settings.)
