What is VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” ?
VIERA Link

is a new name for EZ Sync

VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that offers linked operations of this system, and a Panasonic TV
(VIERA) or DVD recorder (DIGA) 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 system supports “HDAVI Control 2” function.

“HDAVI Control 2” is the newest standard (current as of February, 2007) 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.
