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 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.
