VIERA Link™ is a new name for EZ Sync™.
VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function 
that offers linked operations of this unit, and a 
Panasonic TV (VIERA) or amplifier/receiver under 
“HDAVI Control”. 
You can use this function by connecting the equipment 
with an 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.
