TM

)

What is HDAVI Control?

HDAVI Control is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this 
unit and Panasonic TV (VIERA) with HDAVI Control. You can use this 
function by connecting the equipment with the HDMI cable.
For operational details, see the operating instructions of the connected 
equipment.

Preparation

Confirm that the HDMI connection (

page 10) has been made.

Set “Control with HDMI” (HDAVI Control) to “On” (

page 27, “HDMI” 

tab).

To complete and activate the connection correctly, turn on all HDAVI 
Control compatible equipment and select the input channel 
corresponding to the home theater on the television.

Whenever the connection or settings are changed, reconfirm the points above.

You can turn on the main unit and television, and start playing the disc in 
the play position with a single press of a button.

Press [ONE TOUCH PLAY].

[Note]

Playback may not be immediately displayed on the television. If you miss 
the beginning portion of playback, press [

:

] or [

6

] to go back to 

where playback started.

When the following operation is performed the television will automatically 
switch the input channel and display the corresponding action.

– When play starts on the home theater system

You can select whether audio is output from the home theater system or 
the television by using the television settings. For details, refer to the 
operating instructions of your television.

When audio is output from the home theater speakers

The television speakers are automatically muted.

You can control the volume setting using the volume or mute button on 
the television remote control. (The volume level is displayed on the main 
unit’s FL display.)

If you turn off the home theater system, speakers automatically switch 
to the television.

When audio is output from the television speakers

The volume of the home theater system is set to “0”.

Audio output is 2-channel audio.

To cancel muting, you can also use the home theater remote control 
(

page 32, Muting the sound).

When switching between the home theater system and television 
speakers, the TV screen may be blank for several seconds.

When the television is turned off, the home theater system goes into 
standby mode automatically.

This function works only when “DVD/CD” or “TV” is selected as the 
source on the home theater system.

When the television is turned on, the home theater system does not turn 
on automatically. (Power on link is not available.)
