VIERA Link Functions

Enjoy additional HDMI interoperability with Panasonic products which have "HDAVI Control" function.
This TV supports "HDAVI Control 5" function.
Connections to the equipment with HDMI cable such as DIGA Recorder, HD Video Camera, Player
theatre, Amplifier, etc., 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 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.
