Linked Operations with the TV (VIERA Link “HDAVI Control™”/Q Link)
You can enjoy linked operations with the TV and receiver by using VIERA Link or Q Link.
VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that 
offers linked operations of this unit, and a Panasonic TV 
(VIERA) or receiver 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 unit supports “HDAVI Control 3” function.
“HDAVI Control 3” is the newest standard (current as of 
December, 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.
