VIERA Link "HDAVI Control" is a convenient function that offers 
linked operation of this unit, and a Panasonic TV (VIERA)

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. The TV with 

"HDAVI Control 2" function enables the following operation: 
VIERA Link Control only with TV s remote control (for "HDAVI 
Control 2") (OI page 71).

"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.
