The HDMI connection supports VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” (

Panasonic TV.

Use High Speed HDMI Cables that have the HDMI logo (as shown on the back cover). It is 
recommended that you use Panasonic’s HDMI cable.
Recommended part number:
RP-CDHS15 (1.5 m/4.9 ft), RP-CDHS30 (3.0 m/ 9.8 ft), RP-CDHS50 (5.0 m/16.4 ft), etc.

Non-HDMI-compliant cables cannot be utilized.

Connection to a TV

Verify if the TV’s HDMI terminal is labeled 
“HDMI (ARC)”.

The connection method will differ when the terminal 
is labeled “HDMI (ARC)” and when it is not.

Labeled “HDMI (ARC)”: Method

What is ARC?

ARC is an abbreviation of Audio Return Channel, also known 
as HDMI ARC. It refers to one of the HDMI functions. When 
you connect the unit to the terminal labeled “HDMI (ARC)”, the 
optical digital audio cable that is usually required in order to 
listen to sound from a TV is no longer required, and TV pictures 
and sound can be enjoyed with a single HDMI cable.
