What are the differences between the
standard CEC functions and Panasonic’s
HDAVI CONTROL? Are there any
special features?
The control signals in the HDMI are standardized in the industry. Based on the
HDMI standard, the HDAVI CONTROL is realized by adding our unique control
signals by following the regulated system in the HDMI standard. To protect these
unique Matsushita technologies, we have applied for intellectual-property patents.
The Home Theater linking features are Matsushita’s original technology.

What are the differences with the Q-Link
(Europe) operation?
Please refer to “6. Functional Comparison Table of Europe Q-Link vs. HDAVI
CONTROL” in the last section.

Can I record the images (programs) that
I am watching if I press the RECORD
button on the remote controller of the
DIGA?
If you wish to record the images (programs) that are displayed by the VIERA’s tuner
using the DIGA’s remote controller, you must set the DIGA’s tuner to select the
same images that are displayed by the VIERA’s tuner. Then it is possible to record
the images. (This is the same specifications as before.)
9
What kind of images will be displayed
after stopping the PLAY mode?
With European models, they return to images displayed by the TV tuner. For the
other models, the DIGA’s images will be displayed.
10
The HDAVI CONTROL functions in
both the HDMI 1 and 2 series. Is there
any priority between the two?
Japan model: If two or more DIGAs are connected to the VIERA, the priority goes
to the DIGA that is connected to the HDMI 1. All models: Automatic input
switching has no priority in the HDMI terminals. Later input overrides the previous
one and switches the input.
11
If the amplifier is turned off manually
while replaying the DVD with the
amplifier outputting sound, will the
VIERA’s speaker output sound.
Yes, the VIERA’s speaker will output sound.
12
If the amplifier is turned on manually
while replaying the DVD and the sound
output is switched, can I control the
sound volume using the VIERA’s
remote controller?
No, you cannot control the volume with the VIERA’s remote controller; you can
only do so by turning on the amplifier manually. From the Menu in the VIERA,
please select and set “Output sound from the AV amplifier (Home Theater)”. Then
you will be able to control the volume of the AV amplifier with the VIERA’s remote
controller.
13
Are there any functional differences in
the HDAVI CONTROL in AV
amplifiers by each regional market
(American, Europe, Asia and China)?
No.
14
Even within the same regional market,
the HDAVI CONTROL features
function differently between the PDP
and LCD. Why?
Because the hardware and software are different, the functions that can be used are
different.
15
How can you determine whether VIERA
recognizes devices that are connected to
it? If VIERA does not recognize a
device, how can you find this out?
Turn on the power of all HDAVI CONTROL-compliant devices and then turn off
the VIERA’s power. Check to see if the devices are turned off. (This is based on the
assumption that the HDAVI CONTROL in each device is not set to OFF.) If a
device does not function properly, turn on the power of all the devices again; then
turn off and on the power of the VIERA (TV); and replay the DIGA and check to see
if the images are displayed on the TV screen properly. (Input switching to TV must
be done manually.)
