VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that offers linked
operations of this unit, and a Panasonic TV (VIERA) 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.

2008) for Panasonic’s HDAVI Control compatible equipment. This
standard is compatible with Panasonic’s conventional HDAVI
equipment.
